Gulf Craft: Where Heritage Meets Horizon
Founded in the United Arab Emirates in 1982, Gulf Craft has grown into a global superyacht brand with a diverse fleet of Majesty and Nomad yachts. With unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability and visionary design, Gulf Craft has elevated the Middle East in the superyacht industry.
At the heart of Gulf Craft’s success is their bold approach to design. The Majesty series, epitomised by the MAJESTY 175 and MAJESTY 100, reimagined luxury yachting with sprawling decks, bespoke interiors, and engineering precision. Meanwhile, the Nomad series catered to adventurers who value rugged versatility without compromising opulence. Each vessel in Gulf Craft’s fleet stands as a testament to their philosophy and dedication to pushing boundaries.
As the industry tunes into environmental consciousness, Gulf Craft has surfaced as a trailblazer, embedding sustainability into every aspect of its operations. The shipyard uses glass reinforced plastic (GRP) for hull construction; a material renowned for its strength, durability, longevity and low maintenance, which reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements. Additionally, Gulf Craft enhanced energy efficiency by minimising electrical consumption, enabling smaller generators and lowering fuel consumptions significantly. The company continues to strive for sustainability through ongoing research into hydrogen technology for its fleet.
From the 19th to the 23rd of February 2025, the Dubai International Boat Show will once again transform the UAE into the epicentre of global yachting, and Gulf Craft is set to take centre stage. Mohammed Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft explains that, 'This year, we are proud to showcase an unprecedented number of new launches – 11 new boats among 17 vessels on display. These milestones reflect our unwavering flow commitment to excellence, offering a glimpse into our plans for 2025'. Gulf Craft's showcase at DIBS embodies its vision to create masterpieces and solidifies their standing as a symbol of the UAE's dedication to luxury, innovation, and maritime excellence.
"Since day one, DIBS has always been our premier stage, where Gulf Craft challenged the boundaries of innovation and design."
