Gulf Craft, one of the leading superyacht manufacturers, reinforced its focus on Europe during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, presenting its newest vessels, the Majesty 100 Terrace and the award-winning Majesty 120. Alongside the yachts, the company also highlighted its ambitious plans for global service facilities and maritime investments aimed at supporting yacht owners over the long term.
The Cannes Yachting Festival, held from 9-14 September across the iconic Vieux Port and Port Canto, is Europe’s largest in-water boat show. It serves as the perfect launchpad for the European yachting season, attracting serious buyers from across the continent and providing a platform for leading yacht manufacturers to showcase their latest innovations.
Majesty 100 Terrace: A New Standard in Yacht Living
Just twelve months after revealing the concept, Gulf Craft unveiled the completed Majesty 100 Terrace. Measuring 30 metres, the yacht introduces a private owner’s bow-terrace, an amenity usually reserved for vessels over 42 metres. This unique feature sets a new benchmark for the 30-metre class, combining luxury, comfort, and practical functionality for both family use and charter operations.
Designed in collaboration with the Netherlands-based Phathom Studio, the Majesty 100 Terrace features fold-down cockpit balconies, full walk-around decks, and a layout that emphasizes seamless indoor-outdoor living. The yacht has five staterooms, ensuring ample space for guests and owners while maintaining privacy and luxury.
Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, commented:
Twelve months after unveiling the concept in Cannes, we now present the finished Majesty 100 Terrace. It brings a private owner’s bow-terrace to the 30-metre class, an amenity usually reserved for larger yachts. Alongside our yachts, we are introducing our new Superyacht Service Centre in the UAE, which will serve as a regional hub for full-cycle refit, repair, and lifecycle support for the yachting community."
Majesty 120: Award-Winning Design and Efficiency
In addition to the Majesty 100 Terrace, Gulf Craft showcased the Majesty 120, a 37-metre tri-deck superyacht constructed entirely from composite materials. The yacht features six cabins, making it rare for vessels in this size range. Known for its generous interior volume and operational efficiency, the Majesty 120 has been recognized with the "Best Naval Architecture" and "Eco Award" at the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards.
The Majesty 120 combines innovative design with functionality, offering excellent sea-keeping capabilities and luxurious living spaces suitable for family cruising or charter use. Its design reflects Gulf Craft’s commitment to building yachts that balance performance, sustainability, and lifestyle.
Expanding Global Support and Infrastructure
Gulf Craft is actively expanding its service and production capabilities to meet growing global demand. The new Superyacht Service Centre (SYSC) in the UAE is designed to become a regional hub, offering full-cycle refit, repair, and lifecycle support for superyachts.
The company is also investing heavily in the Maldives, where the multi-phase ‘Gulf Lagoon’ maritime hub is being developed. This project includes new manufacturing facilities and aims to strengthen Gulf Craft’s regional presence. Additionally, with global demand for power catamarans increasing, Gulf Craft is scaling production of its SilverCAT line with a new UAE factory under construction.
These investments reflect Gulf Craft’s long-term strategy of combining world-class yacht design with comprehensive owner support, ensuring that customers receive both exceptional vessels and excellent service.
Europe: A Key Market for Gulf Craft
Europe has been a significant market for Gulf Craft over the past decade. The company has consistently participated in the Cannes Yachting Festival since 2010, competing as a non-European manufacturer and earning recognition for its innovative designs. Over the last five years, Europe has contributed nearly a quarter of Majesty brand turnover, demonstrating strong demand and confirming the product-market fit.
Erwin Bamps, Group CEO of Gulf Craft, stated:
"Cannes Yachting Festival attracts serious buyers in one of the most iconic marinas of the Côte d’Azur. Our goal is to gradually introduce all Gulf Craft Group brands to Europe. Next year, we plan to unveil the Majesty 112 Terrace and launch the Nomad adventure yachting brand with the Nomad 101, reflecting our commitment to Mediterranean lifestyles with indoor-outdoor living and excellent sea-keeping capabilities."
Innovation and Lifestyle
Gulf Craft continues to lead in combining luxury, innovation, and sustainability in yacht design. With a focus on the European market, expanding global service hubs, and launching new brands, the company is set to strengthen its position as a world-class superyacht manufacturer.
Visitors to Cannes 2025 were able to experience the Majesty 100 Terrace firsthand, appreciating its luxurious living spaces, innovative bow-terrace, and seamless indoor-outdoor design. The Majesty 120 also drew attention for its award-winning architecture and operational efficiency.
By focusing on both product excellence and long-term owner support, Gulf Craft is not only building yachts but also shaping a complete yachting lifestyle for owners around the world. With its continued investment in design, service, and production, Gulf Craft is poised to remain a leading force in the superyacht industry for years to come.
