Gulf Craft Fleet at DIBS 2025

Dubai-based Gulf Craft, a cornerstone participant of the Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) since it began over three decades ago, launched its presence with impact last Wednesday, February 19, the first of the five days of the show’s 31^st edition. It unveiled eight brand-new new models to the world and enjoyed a visit from Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.

In all, the 18 vessels on display were selected across the luxury yacht and superyacht Majesty and Nomad lines – the latter built with a longer-range, explorer-yacht capability and exterior styling, the sub-50ft SilverCat power catamarans and onto the smaller Oryx line, which has been enhanced with three new models to stake its claim in the increasingly popular dayboat/weekender/adventure-boat segment.

At a press conference on day one of the show, Mohammed Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, introduced the company’s renewed vision and branding: “Built for Life,” emphasising a dedication to building vessels with durability and providing owners and others on board with quality life experiences. “As a brand deeply rooted in Emirati heritage, Gulf Craft’s presence at the Dubai International Boat Show is not just a celebration of our past, but a bold statement of our future,” he said.

“With eight new launches, our unmatched time to market sets a groundbreaking industry standard in efficiency. Our refreshed branding and ‘Built for Life’ philosophy reflect our promise to create enduring masterpieces that deliver lasting value and timeless appeal.”

Alshaali went on to announce the opening of the Gulf Craft Superyacht Service Centre in Ajman, a world-class facility capable of servicing yachts up to 600 tonnes that is scheduled to open later in 2025 – a further commitment to the company’s place in the UAE and to the industry, offering to service not only every Gulf Craft model but also superyachts built by other shipyards.

Following its initial reveal in September at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Majesty 100 Terrace, made its global debut at DIBS, with the Crown Prince of Dubai, enjoying an exclusive walkthrough. This model is so-named as it introduces a glass-fronted owner’s suite with direct access to a private enclosed foredeck terrace. The Majesty 100 Terrance brings panoramic views inside and out with oversized glazing throughout. Interiors are designed by Gulf Craft’s in-house team in collaboration with Netherlands-based Phathom Studio.

Gulf Craft also unveiled the Majesty 112 Terrace, an elegant tri-deck superyacht with six en-suite cabins and an expanded deck space and cutting-edge design – also in collaboration with Phathom Studio. In the mid-size category, the Majesty 65 made its debut at DIBS, offering a balance of performance, space, and style.

The Majesty 145, a conceptual reveal designed in collaboration with Christiano Gatto Design, built on the success of the Majesty 140 platform, complete with a plunge pool was announced as sold by Gulf Craft during DIBS.

Majesty 120, 72 and 60 were part of the 18-vessel fleet, as were five Nomad models: the Nomad 101, 95, 75, 70 and 65.

In the SilvercCat line, the two World Premieres were the SilverCat 35CC and 35CX, and 46WA and 46LUX models were also shown.
