The first hull of the yacht, christened Suzie Q, marks the builder’s first foray into the 40-meter market. It comes as part of Gulf Craft’s flagship model, Majesty, announced at the 2025 Dubai International Boat Show, where the owners signed the contract.
The Majesty, which has now entered sea trials, is designed by Cristinao Gatto, in partnership with Gulf Craft’s internal design team. The vessel joins the Majesty 175 and Majesty 160 in yachts above 40 meters. The Majesty 160 is set to launch in late 2027.
“This preview is not only a celebration of a new yacht, a brand milestone or the capabilities of a shipyard. It is also a reflection of the UAE’s growing strength as a manufacturing nation. The Majesty 145 demonstrates the resilience, ambition and technical capability that exist within our industry, and our ability to compete on the global stage alongside the world’s finest yacht builders,” said Gulf Craft CEO Erwin Bamps.
“The Majesty 145 is a celebration of the entire team behind her. Every detail reflects the dedication of our designers, engineers, craftsmen, project managers, production teams and everyone who contributed to bringing this yacht to life. A vessel of this scale is never the work of one person. It is the result of shared commitment, discipline, experience and pride in what we build. For me, this moment is about recognising the people who continue to carry our standards forward and show what can be achieved from the UAE,” added Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft.
Gulf Craft has recently announced a new dealer for the Majesty series in the Philippines and Hong Kong, appointing Asia Yachting to act as the brand’s exclusive dealer in the key Asian markets.
