History

Gulf Craft was founded in 1982 in the UAE by three brothers, Mohammed, Jamal and Abdullah Alshaali and their friend Dr Mohammed Hamdan. The company’s initial service offering fell in the small open boat category. By using a crafted combination of pioneering technology, state-of-the-art engineering practices and classic design techniques Gulf Craft soon started manufacturing a diverse range of premium seafaring vessels between 27 and 155 feet long. In 1992 the product range was expanded to include fly-bridge designs with inboard diesel installations, and Gulf Craft started tapping into the European market. The early 2000s saw rapid expansion into manufacturing larger yachts for an increasingly wide market and this led to a new shipyard being launched at Umm Al Quwain. In 2009 it was announced that the newly appointed CEO would be Nasser Al Shaali and Erwin Bamps was appointed as COO of Gulf Craft. This was followed by the launch of the Majesty 125 superyacht in 2010. In 2014 Bamps took over from Shaali as CEO and in 2017 he announced that the company intends to build more superyachts and megayachts. As in September 2017 Mohammed Hussain Alshaali, one of the founders 4 serves as Chairman of Gulf Craft.

The interior of the Majesty 125 second to none. Whether you are in the expansive main saloon or dining in one of its warm areas, the Majesty 125 is a superyacht that offers a lot more space than any other yacht in its class. __________ #GulfCraft #MajestyYachts #Majesty125 __________ #monaco #mydubai #instagood #france #uae #dubai #abudhabi #superyacht #yacht #boat #yachtlife #superyachtlife #boatlife #life #live #love #lifestyle #luxury #luxurytravel #travel #rich #instagood #instadaily
