About a year after it announced they were in build, Numarine has two 105 HT megayachts in the water.
One of the two is already in her European owner’s hands, cruising the Med. The second 105 HT is nearing delivery, to an Asian buyer. Both yachts have three guest staterooms accompanying the master suite, all below decks. The latter is full beam: 23’3” (7.1 meters). Numarine hasn’t disclosed what woods and other materials each owner selected.
“HT” stands for “Hardtop,” even though the design has a non-shaded flying bridge. Can Yalman, Numarine’s in-house stylist, collaborated with naval architect Umberto Tagliavini for the concept and execution. The fiberglass megayachts are as sporty in performance as they are in looks. Twin 1,825-hp Caterpillars promise a 26-knot cruise and a 30-knot top speed. (Twin 2,400-hp MTUs are optional.) At cruise speed, the 105 HT should see a 500-nautical-mile range. Plenty of shallow waters can be explored along the way, too, given the 3’6” (1.1-meter) draft.
It’s natural to assume the owners and their guests will enjoy a good portion of those cruises up on the flying bridge. As welcoming as the saloon is (above), the flying bridge has two long seating/sunning lounges flanking the helm. Their positions fully forward mean guests get the best views. Tunes pump in via speakers connected to the saloon sound system. And, the crew can serve drinks and prepare meals at the bar, fitted with a barbecue. (The galley is below decks, in the aft crew area.)
