Gulf Craft staged the premiere of its flagship Majesty 175 by showing the superyacht in public for the first time at Dubai Harbour. With an overall length of 54m and a beam of 9.6m, the Majesty 175 is the world’s largest composite production superyacht and underlines the shipyard’s position as the Middle East’s foremost yacht builder.
Mohammed Alshaali, co-founder and Chairman of Gulf Craft, said: “The Majesty 175 cements the reputation of Gulf Craft as a leader in the global yachting industry. Gulf Craft invested nearly four years of effort in building this vessel, quicker than the normal timeframe, despite the challenges of the pandemic. With the regional premiere at Dubai Harbour, we are reiterating the appeal of the UAE as a fullfledged yachting destination.”
The premiere was organised in partnership with the Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), with dignitaries and high-ranking officials touring the Majesty 175 asi ventured into the Gulf.
Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, said: “We are honoured to be associated with the launch of this unique superyacht. This new state-of-the-art vessel highlights Dubai’s position as a leading hub for cruise tourism and the global maritime industry, as well as the UAE’s proven track record in the boat-building sector.”
The Majesty 175’s exterior and interior design are by the Cristiano Catto Design Studio in Italy, while the naval architecture is by Massimo Gregori of the Yankee Delta Studio. The 780GT yacht was built to specifications outlined by the UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for yachts over 500GT yet can cruise low-draft areas due to a draught of just 2.05m.
Stand-out features include a 5m infinity pool with a swim-jet system at the forward deck and a hybrid sky-lounge that can be converted to an open sun deck. The yacht has seven staterooms for guests and can host up to 10 crew in six cabins and captain’s cabin. It has a top speed of 16.5 knots and a transoceanic range of 4,000nm. Safety features include a SOLAS rescue boat and an emergency generator.
Majesty is one of Gulf Craft’s five brands of boats and yachts along with Nomad (explorer yachts), Oryx (sports cruisers), Silvercraft (family and fishing boats) and Touring Passenger Vessels.
