Majesty Yachts, the superyacht brand of the Emirati boatbuilder Gulf Craft, is embarking on a new chapter. At a press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show, the brand unveiled not only new models but also a completely redefined design philosophy – with well-being and sustainability as its common thread.
A clear vision for the coming years
Mohammed Hussein Alshaali (Chairman of Gulf Craft) opened the event with an unequivocal statement: “We have a clear ambition for where we want to see Majesty in the next three to five years – and we are prepared to invest accordingly. Confidence in the future stems from a long-term vision and the courage to act on it.”
Well-being as a design principle
Erwin Bamps (CEO of Gulf Craft) described the philosophy behind the new collection: “The deliberate design focus on emotional balance and well-being at sea is reflected in the new generation of our Majesty superyacht collection.” At Majesty, wellbeing means more than just a spa area and a gym. It’s about natural light, views, seamless transitions between indoors and outdoors, well-thought-out spatial sequences, and the quality of everyday life on board – from sleep and exercise to social interaction. Designer Cristiano Gatto (founder of Cristiano Gatto Design) comments: “Today, luxury begins from within – with how a yacht allows us to live and feel.”
Majesty 125: A gateway to the new generation
The Majesty 125 is currently still in the development phase – yet it marks the launch of the brand’s new generation of superyachts. As the smallest yacht in the new collection, it is set to reflect the same design language and philosophy as its larger sisters. Details regarding the fittings and technical specifications will be announced at a later date. One thing is certain: the Majesty 125 will be built on the same principles – well-being, natural light, fluid transitions between spaces and a high level of everyday comfort on board.
Majesty 145: Already on the water
The Majesty 145 is the first yacht of the new generation to have been launched – and is therefore the most tangible result of the new design philosophy. At 45 metres in length, it embodies everything that Majesty associates with the concept of well-being.
Six cabins can accommodate up to twelve guests. The extensive glazing allows daylight to flood deep into the interior, creating a bright, open atmosphere. Two infinity pools invite guests to relax and provide a direct visual connection to the sea. Easy access to the water is also a key feature: Majesty places great importance on ensuring that guests can swim, dive or use water toys with ease at any time.
A fully equipped gym and an infrared sauna ensure physical wellbeing. The interior and exterior were developed by Cristiano Gatto Design in close collaboration with the Majesty in-house team and set the design benchmark for the entire new collection.
Majesty 160: Speed meets spaciousness
The Majesty 160 extends the new design language to a 49.5-metre platform – whilst introducing a technical innovation: a high-speed displacement hull developed in collaboration with the Dutch engineering firm Van Oossanen Design. This hull type combines the efficiency and excellent handling characteristics of a classic displacement hull with higher cruising speeds – ideal for owners who cover long distances and wish to combine comfort with economy.
The layout of the Majesty 160 is spacious and well thought-out: the owner’s suite spans the entire width of the main deck. Seven further guest cabins provide accommodation for guests and crew. An infinity pool, a hybrid beach club and fold-out balconies that connect the outer decks directly to the water round off the design.
The Hybrid Beach Club is particularly noteworthy: it can be used in a variety of ways – as a quiet retreat, as a starting point for water sports, or as a sociable meeting place in the evening. The fold-out balconies enhance the feeling of being right on the water – a design choice that is fully in keeping with the philosophy of ‘living with the sea’.
Majesty 180: The flagship of a new era
The Majesty 180 was also a surprise at the press conference – and proof that Majesty is serious about its ambition to push the boundaries of composite superyacht construction. With an overall length of 54 metres, the Majesty 180 will be the the world’s largest mass-produced Composite Yacht – a name that highlights Gulf Craft’s exceptional manufacturing expertise.
