Numarine is working with Silent Line to develop new sound proofing technology.
The first Numarine 45XP incorporates a raft of technical enhancements developed to reduce noise and vibration.
The measures are based on the latest modelling and next-generation products.
The new technologies include a diesel-electric propulsion system and a specially designed acoustic generator enclosure.
“As Silent Line we are proud and honoured to be a long-term partner of Numarine Yachts,” said Sjaak van Cappellen founder of Silent Line.
“Today’s noise and vibration results are based on many years of research and the optimisation of in-house computer modelling, in which the data is abstracted from intensive noise and vibration measurements on board Numarine’s composite and steel yachts.”
Numarine says using the latest technology from Silent Line has led to a reduction of nearly 3 tonnes of weight in the 45XP.
We are very much looking forward to showing off the capabilities of our new flagship.

New flexible mountings for the engine and generators have also been developed to reduce structural vibration and floating floors, partitions and ceilings are all designed to dampen noise transmission.
The shipbuilder believes the new Numarine 45XP will be the quietest on the market below 50m when it is launched.
“We are very much looking forward to showing off the capabilities of our new flagship,” said founder and chairman Ömer Malaz.
“We have worked hard with Silent Line to ensure that the Numarine 45XP runs more quietly than any other we have built.
“They have been fantastic to work with on this project, which marries their acoustic know-how with our boat-building expertise.”
Ömer added: “At Numarine, we have always wanted to do better than our European competitors.
“Our boats must be able to take you wherever you want to go in whatever conditions, and do so in comfort and safety. That’s why we have worked so hard to move the dial on noise levels aboard.
“After decades of experience, I still believe that there is nothing more luxurious on a boat than silence, providing the opportunity to fully engage with the people and the seascape around you.”
