Gulf Craft launches 2027 model Nomad 70 

UAE-based builder Gulf Craft has premiered the 2027 model of its long distance cruising line, Nomad, which is aimed at the family and charter market. 

The Nomad 70, reunites the shipyard with Phathom Studio, the Dutch studio which has been behind some of Gulf Craft’s contemporary designs. 

Following the client’s brief, seeking a “generous living space, extended cruising capability and the confidence to venture further from familiar shores,”  the design firm have updated both interior and exteriors 

In the last several months, the yacht maker has been strengthening the Nomad brand’s presence in a number of international markets, with local sales and aftersales support. Last month, Jonacor Yachts announced its partnership with Gulf Craft to represent the Nomad and Majesty lines in Italy. 

In January, the company appointed Derani Yachts as Nomad’s, along with the Majesty and Oryx brands, official dealers in Thailand and Malaysia. Meanwhile, it named Seastemia S.A. to oversee the brand in Luxembourg and Belgium back in February 2026.
