    Measuring 37.5m in length, with a fuel capacity of 25,250 litres, Majesty 122 costs a staggering $11m (Dh40.40m). It can accommodate up to 10 guests and has five spacious ensuites with an extended balcony and fly-bridge.

    Mohammed Al Shaali, chairman of Gulf Craft, explained why he decided to launch the Majesty 122 in Dubai.

    He said: “The Dubai International Boat Show is a key international platform for launching our latest yachts and boats to the world. 

    “By globally launching the Majesty 122 in Dubai, where people have a true appreciation for waterfront lifestyle, we continue to bring that memorable experience to our customers.”

    The Nomad 65 and 75 ranges are ideal for those who enjoy their leisure activities out at sea. With the Nomad 65 price starting at Dh5.6m, and the 75 model from Dh8m, the vessels are designed to meet an emerging market for comfortable long-distance travel.

    “The Nomad ranges are aimed for family and friends who want to enjoy their yachting experience,” said Erwin Bamps, chief executive officer at Gulf Craft.

    “It’s not just about the destination that counts but the experience itself. We believe yachting should be an experience to remember. It’s not just about getting somewhere as fast as you can.

    He added: “For us at Gulf Craft, it’s not just about building bigger and more extravagant boats. We think of ideas and do changes 

    “Yachting that is done in the UAE doesn’t need to be a carbon copy of what needs to be done in the Caribbean, Mediterranean or Australia. Our yachts and boats are unique in their own way.

    Besides their three yachts, the Majesty 135 as well as their latest models of Oryx Sport Yachts and Cruisers, and Silvercraft fishing boats and family cruisers will be on display.
