Orpheus represents the apotheosis of contemporary explorer yacht design, a vessel engineered for those who refuse to choose between refinement and capability. Launched in 2025, this magnificent 122-foot Numarine embodies a philosophy where adventure and elegance move in perfect concert, allowing owners to traverse the world’s most remote waters without surrendering a single comfort.
The yacht’s engineering credentials speak to serious ocean crossing ambitions. Her full displacement hull and IMO Tier III engines deliver an impressive 6,000-nautical mile range, the kind of transcontinental endurance that transforms distant dreams into achievable itineraries. Whether contemplating expeditions to polar regions, extended Pacific voyages or leisurely Mediterranean circumnavigations, Orpheus possesses both the mechanical fortitude and the refined accommodation to make such journeys genuinely pleasurable.
Interior Mastery and Accommodation
The interior design by Sturge & Toth constitutes a masterclass in elegant spatial planning, recently recognised at the 2026 International Yacht & Aviation Awards for Best Interior Under 40 metres. Seven generously appointed staterooms provide sophisticated lodging for fourteen guests, whilst the private owner’s deck ensures an exclusive sanctuary above the general social spaces. A secondary owner’s or VIP suite caters to distinguished guests who merit singular attention, maintaining the hierarchical elegance essential to refined yachting culture.
Lifestyle and Recreation
Beyond the principal accommodation, Orpheus presents an extensive portfolio of leisure amenities that transform ocean passages into genuine pursuits of pleasure. The beach club with integrated sauna offers the restorative rituals of a world class spa whilst moored in some of the planet’s most magnificent anchorages. The Jacuzzi sundeck becomes a natural gathering point for evening aperitifs beneath foreign stars, whilst an extensive selection of water toys ensures that exploration extends beyond vessel and shoreline into the sensory richness of marine environments.
An extended one year warranty provides reassuring protection, reflecting the builder’s confidence in Orpheus’s construction quality and mechanical reliability. This commitment to longevity and performance underscores the vessel’s credentials as a serious instrument for extended cruising rather than merely a luxury possession.
Orpheus currently resides in Palma de Mallorca, positioned perfectly for discerning owners to embark upon transformative ocean voyages. Those drawn to this singular expression of explorer yacht sophistication are invited to arrange a private viewing through Northrop & Johnson’s experienced team, who stand ready to facilitate the acquisition of this remarkable vessel.
