Gulf Craft appoints new dealer for the Majesty brand in key Asian yacht markets

UAE-based shipyard Gulf Craft is expanding further into the Asian superyacht market. The builder has named Asia Yachting as the exclusive dealer for Gulf Craft’s Majesty brand. Majesty, the yard’s flagship line, will be sold in the Philippines and Hong Kong exclusively through the dealer. 

“We are pleased to welcome Asia Yachting as our dealer for Hong Kong and the Philippines. Their strong regional presence, market knowledge and commitment to client service make them a natural partner for Majesty,” said Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft.

“We are pleased to welcome Asia Yachting as our dealer for Hong Kong and the Philippines. “The brand’s reputation for design, craftsmanship and innovation aligns well with the expectations of our clients in the region. We look forward to introducing the full Majesty lineup from 100-feet [30.5 metres] up to 145-feet [44.2 metres] to a wider audience and delivering a seamless ownership experience,” said Olivier Besson, Asia Yachting’s founder and CEO.

The announcement follows a previous partnership announced by Gulf Craft in 2026, where it appointed Derani Yachts to represent the Majesty, Nomad, and Oryx lines in Thailand and Malaysia. 

The south-east of Asia has been a key market for Gulf Craft, affirmed by the luxury boat builder’s appearance at the Singapore Yachting Festival in April.
