Reaching a top speed of 31kts and cruising easily at 25kts, using a mere 15gal/hr of fuel, the Majesty 50 is awesome.

Following a quality program administered by Al Masaood Marine, Gulf Craft has met and exceeded the requirements to have the installation of Volvo Penta D9 575 engine certified in the Majesty 50. The procedure is intense, with Sea trails alone taking more than 8 hours to complete. The system checks required, ensure the engines and the accessories fitted to the yacht are installed to give optimum performance and service life.

'It is important to provide our customers with the standards and qualities they demand of their luxury yachts. We are delighted to have partnered with Volvo Penta to provide certified engines for our Majesty 50 yachts adding value and improving overall satisfaction for our clients. We look forward to a long lasting and successful relationship with Volvo Penta and one which will enhance the Majesty Yacht experience even further,' said Erwin Bamps, Executive Manager for Gulf Craft Inc.

The benefits for the customer are wide-ranging and very positive:
1)Firstly the customer has the knowledge that the installation is of the highest quality and done is unison with the manufacturer. This means the engine's location, air, fuel, exhaust and drive systems are in accordance to the designed specifications.

2)The engines are not over stressed, delivering the required horsepower, on board comfort and service life.

3)Warranty is world wide and the owner has the sure knowledge that the Volvo Penta representative in the area of operation will support the products and can get installation information from the VP net including wiring diagrams, performance details and commissioning dates.

4)Added value to the craft and reduced maintenance costs.

5)Increased customer satisfaction and minimized disputes concerning responsibility.

6)Resale value is improved.
