Gulf Craft’s Majesty 160, revealed at the recent Monaco Yacht Show, will be the company’s second largest vessel and will be a class apart in its segment through its exceptional design, architecture and technological features

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Gulf Craft – which is a world leader in composite hull production and the creator of the world’s largest composite-built production superyacht, the Majesty 175 – revealed the first details of Majesty 160 superyacht at a packed press event hosted onboard its Majesty 120.

Established in 1982 in the UAE, Gulf Craft is one of the world’s fully integrated boat and yacht manufacturers with a proven track-record in designing and delivering high-quality, super-performing vessels that define the contemporary marine lifestyle. Over the past four decades, Gulf Craft has evolved from a regional boatbuilding pioneer to a global brand known for its innovation in yacht and boat building.

Unveiling the details of the brand-new Majesty 160 superyacht, Gulf Craft’s Chairman Mohammed Hussein AlShaali said: “The Majesty 160 is an evolution of our Majesty 155, and follows the new design precedent of our Majesty line-up which was introduced earlier this year with the Majesty 111 at Dubai International Boat Show.

“The Majesty 160 will be our second largest vessel and will be a class apart in its segment, catering to the needs and requirements of customers through its exceptional design, architecture and state-of-the-art engineering and technological features,” he said.

“Our ongoing expansion plans, extensive global dealer network and a distinct product portfolio have seen us build a strong foothold in international markets, especially in Europe and the United States, where we have witnessed a demand for larger lightweight yachts which provide competitive fuel economy and easy access to shallow waters. We have listened to our customers and have created the Majesty 160 which reinstates our position as the world’s leader in composite hull production.”

The Majesty 160, which goes into production this year at Gulf Craft’s fully integrated state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the UAE, is designed by the award-winning Cristiano Gatto Design Studio in Italy while the naval architecture is penned by the world-renowned Van Oosennen Dutch Naval Architects. Built to the specifications outlined by the Bureau Veritas Commercial Yacht Rules for yachts under 500 gross tonnage (GT), the Majesty 160 has a gross tonnage of 498 meeting all safety requirements of a vessel of 500 GT.

Taking its design cues from the iconic Majesty 175, the brand-new superyacht’s interior and exterior have been carefully designed with immaculate attention to detail to create a seamless balance between the outdoor and indoor spaces.

Redefining the segment through its opulent and contemporary interiors, the Majesty 160’s most notable feature is the phenomenal Master Suite. Ideally located at the end of the forward main deck corridor, the suite includes a private lounge, retractable balcony, large ensuite with both bath and shower room, along with a full-beam Master cabin.
