When we spoke to Gulf Craft’s Global Chief Commercial Officer at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, he talked briefly about the upcoming Majesty 100 Terrace. A few weeks later, he gave us more details of the yacht at the Monaco Yacht Show and indicated that it would be launched at the Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS).
Naturally, we eagerly anticipated seeing the yacht but didn’t realize that Gulf Craft planned to announce a long list of new boats at the show - a total of 8 new vessels! There was no hint at this, or maybe we just weren’t paying attention.
Looking to cement its place as a yacht builder that delivers value and showcase its commitment to fine craftsmanship and innovation, Gulf Craft arrived at the show with every trick up its sleeve. As a UAE company, it’s clear the brand was looking to make a statement on its home turf.
The event saw a high-profile visit from Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, underlining the brand’s significance in the region’s yachting sector.
During the press conference, Gulf Craft Chairman Mohammed Hussein Alshaali introduced the company’s new strategic vision, emphasizing the theme 'Built for Life' — which underscores the yacht builder’s commitment to creating durable vessels offering extraordinary experiences.
Gulf Craft has a diverse range of superyachts, cruisers, and catamarans under a unified identity and practically every category had something new at the show. The Majesty Yachts line stole the spotlight with the debut of the Majesty 100 Terrace, a groundbreaking yacht featuring a glass-fronted owner’s suite with direct access to a private foredeck terrace. The interior design done in collaboration with Phanthom Studio shows Gulf Craft’s commitment to exemplary craftsmanship.
With 270-degree panoramic views and floor-to-ceiling patio doors, the Majesty 100 Terrace sets a new benchmark for indoor-outdoor luxury living. Another standout was the Majesty 112 Terrace, an elegant tri-deck superyacht offering expanded deck space, six lavish guest cabins, and compliance with regulations for charter operations.
Gulf Craft also revealed the Majesty 65, a refined mid-size yacht balancing elegance and performance, alongside the conceptual unveiling of the Majesty 145, developed in collaboration with Christiano Gatto Design. Building on the success of the Majesty 140, this future flagship features fully serviced lounge areas, sunpads, and a plunge pool designed to immerse guests in the open-sea experience.
In addition to its superyachts, Gulf Craft showcased its Nomad Yachts series, including the Nomad 101, Nomad 95, and Nomad 65, among others. Built for long-range exploration, these vessels cater to adventurous owners seeking efficiency, luxury, and durability on extended voyages.
The Oryx range continued to evolve with the launch of the Oryx 32FX, Oryx 37FX, and Oryx 47LX, embodying bold styling, advanced performance, and space optimization for cruising and recreational boating.
Gulf Craft also expanded its SilverCAT catamaran lineup, unveiling the SilverCAT 35CC (Centre Console) and SilverCAT 35CX (Cross-Over). The SilverCAT line has built a reputation around stability, fuel efficiency, and comfort, and these models integrate the latest innovations in space utilization and onboard technology with a fresh take on multi-hull luxury cruising.
The Dubai International Boat Show also served as the platform for Gulf Craft to showcase its commitment to after-sales service and customer satisfaction. The company announced the opening of its Superyacht Service Centre in Ajman. It’s a state-of-the-art facility capable of servicing yachts up to 600 tons.
All the surprise announcements notwithstanding, the Majesty 100 Terrace remains intriguing, and we hope to deliver a detailed walkthrough soon.
