Gulf Craft is developing a new flagship, the Majesty 180, as the Majesty Yachts brand continues to focus on well-being, longevity and the quality of life at sea in its modern range of superyachts. With an overall length of 54m, the Majesty 180 will become the world’s largest semi-production composite yacht, taking over the mantle from the Majesty 175 launched and delivered in 2021.
Along with the upcoming Majesty 125, the Majesty 180 expands the UAE brand’s modern ‘Superyacht Collection’ (100-180ft), which has already been updated by two 2026 models: the Majesty 145 (click for Review), which appears on the cover of Yacht Style Issue 91, and the Majesty 160.
Both the Majesty 145 and 160 feature exterior and interior design by Cristiano Gatto Design, while the latter also features a fast-displacement hull developed with Dutch studio Van Oossanen Naval Architects.

Cristiano Gatto, who founded his Venice-based design studio in 2001, said: “Today, luxury begins from within – with how a yacht makes us live and feel. The outside becomes an extension of that inner experience, connecting us with nature and the sea. When wellness becomes part of everyday life, it naturally becomes part of longevity.”
Gatto discussed the importance of wellness in a Monaco Yacht Show 2026 panel with Mohammed Alshaali and Erwin Bamps, Chairman and CEO respectively of Gulf Craft Group, which owns the Majesty, Nomad, Oryx and SilverCat brands.
The discussion explored longevity and well-being as the common thread throughout Majesty’s new superyacht line-up, creating environments that support how people want to live, relax and spend time at sea in serenity and in search of quiet in a loudening world, while building yachts that remain easy to use and maintain, durable and desirable over time.

Bamps said: “The deliberate design pursuit of emotional balance and well-being at sea is reflected in the new generation of our Majesty ‘Superyacht Collection’. From the new Majesty 125, currently under development, through the recently launched Majesty 145 and Majesty 160 to the upcoming Majesty 180, we are bringing a consistent design language and common theme to the collection while ensuring that each yacht retains its own distinct character.”
Across the collection, Majesty is placing greater emphasis on the relationship between the built environment and everyday well-being. Natural light, expansive views, indoor-outdoor connections, adaptable spaces and carefully considered circulation are becoming integral to how the yachts are conceived.
The approach extends beyond dedicated wellness facilities. Sleep, movement, privacy, social interaction and connection with the sea are considered as part of the overall onboard experience, allowing owners and their guests to use the yacht in ways that support different routines and lifestyles.

Longevity also informs the way Majesty approaches the yacht itself. Gulf Craft’s vertically integrated production model brings design, engineering and composite construction together under one organisation, allowing the company to develop its yachts with greater control over the entire process, from concept and construction through to delivery and ownership.
Alshaali, Gulf Craft’s co-founder and Chairman, said: “We have a clear ambition for where we want Majesty to be in the next three to five years, and we are prepared to invest accordingly.
“Confidence in the future comes from having a long-term vision and the commitment to act on it. We are investing in the brand, in our people and in the capabilities that will allow us to build the next generation of Majesty superyachts.”
