Gulf Craft Inc, based in Umm Al Quwain in the United Arab Emirates, exports more than 70 per cent of its output and its super-luxury vessels are to be found in virtually every major harbour of the world.Although Gulf Craft Inc began life building small pleasure craft, it is now a mainstream producer of multi-deck masterpieces where neither expense nor effort are spared in setting the definitive 'state of the art' standard for ocean-going luxury.
It is one of only a handful capable of producing vessels of 100-ft and over, with sport cruiser annual production of about 700 vessels up to 150 ft overall length.
Since launching its Majesty Yachts brand in 2004 and its Oryx brand in 2005, orders have been pouring in. Its first top-of-the range Majesty 130-footer is delivered to its Australian customer and a 145-footer is now on the drawing boards.
