Doha, Qatar – Gulf Craft is making a major statement at the Qatar International Boat Show (QIBS) 2026, joining forces with its local dealer, Gulf Yachts, to present the largest fleet at this year’s event. Featuring eight vessels across luxury yachts, power catamarans and commercial passenger boats, the showcase includes three new model previews, alongside the Group’s independent superyacht service and refit division, SYSC.

On the opening day, Gulf Craft and Gulf Yachts hosted a press conference aboard the Majesty 120, bringing together local media and marine industry representatives to discuss the Group’s latest developments, its established presence in Qatar and the continued evolution of its yacht and boat brands.

The event also celebrated the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Gulf Craft and Gulf Yachts, highlighting two decades of collaboration that have played a significant role in strengthening the Group’s position in the Qatari market.

Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft Group, said: “Qatar has been an important market for Gulf Craft for many years, and our 20-year partnership with Gulf Yachts reflects the value of long-standing relationships built on trust and a shared understanding of the market. Qatar has a strong marine culture and continues to offer opportunities for the development of leisure boating, luxury yachting and the wider marine industry. Despite the current regional situation, we remain confident in the resilience of the region and committed to maintaining business continuity, supporting our customers and continuing to invest in the long-term development of our business.”

Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft Group, added: “Hosting this year’s press conference aboard the Majesty 120 allows us to bring the Majesty experience directly to our guests in Qatar. Following our press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show, where we presented the new design language of Majesty superyachts together with Cristiano Gatto, we are continuing that conversation here, highlighting the Majesty 145, Majesty 160 and the recently announced Majesty 180. These yachts reflect the continued evolution of the brand, bringing together contemporary design, thoughtful engineering and a considered approach to life at sea.”

The Group’s display also features the Majesty 65 and Majesty 60, giving visitors the opportunity to explore a wider selection of models and configurations within the brand’s luxury yacht portfolio.

Majesty Superyachts Put Well-being and Longevity at the Forefront

During the press conference, Gulf Craft highlighted the growing importance of well-being and longevity in shaping the Majesty superyacht experience. This philosophy focuses on creating onboard environments that promote physical wellness, comfort and healthier lifestyles through dedicated fitness areas, swimming pools, spa facilities and carefully designed living spaces.

Natural light, privacy and a closer connection with the sea are equally central to this approach. Features such as outdoor lounges, open beach clubs and fold-down balconies provide spaces for relaxation and social interaction, while allowing guests to enjoy the surrounding marine environment and retreat into more private settings when desired.

The Majesty 120 serves as a notable example of this philosophy, combining expansive living areas with thoughtfully integrated features designed to enhance comfort and elevate the overall experience of life at sea.

Nomad 101 Delivery Highlights a Sustainability-Focused Approach

QIBS 2026 also marks an important milestone for the Nomad brand, with the latest Nomad 101 hull officially delivered to its owner during the event.

Nomad’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its approach to design, material selection and responsible resource management. Designed by renowned Dutch design studio Phathom Studio, the Nomad 101 combines spacious interiors with carefully selected materials, creating an environment that balances functionality, comfort and refined aesthetics.

The yacht also embodies the brand’s emphasis on long-term ownership, with a design philosophy centred on comfort, multigenerational experiences and extended stays on the water.

SilverCat Unveils Next Generation of Power Catamarans

Gulf Craft’s power catamaran brand, SilverCat, is represented at the show by the SilverCat 35 Offshore, alongside previews of two upcoming models: the SilverCat 47 Offshore and SilverCat 47 Family, ahead of their official debuts at the Dubai International Boat Show.

The new additions demonstrate SilverCat’s continued expansion and development of its power catamaran portfolio, combining spacious layouts, enhanced stability and flexible onboard configurations to accommodate a variety of boating needs.

The Family and Offshore versions offer distinct configurations tailored to different lifestyles and boating preferences, reinforcing the brand’s ambition to broaden its international footprint and expand its global dealer network.

Touring 50 Strengthens Gulf Craft’s Commercial Vessel Portfolio

Gulf Craft is also offering visitors an exclusive preview of the Touring 50, representing the latest addition to its commercial passenger vessel portfolio.

Building on the Group’s extensive experience in designing and constructing vessels for passenger transportation and commercial marine operations, the Touring 50 has been developed as a practical and reliable platform tailored to the operational demands of regional marine transport.

Its appearance at QIBS 2026 marks its first official presentation to the GCC market, underlining Gulf Craft’s continued commitment to diversifying its portfolio and addressing the evolving needs of the commercial marine sector.

SYSC Showcases Comprehensive Yacht Service and Refit Expertise

Beyond its yacht and boat brands, Gulf Craft is also placing the spotlight on SYSC, its independent business unit specialising in servicing, maintenance, repairs and refit solutions for yachts and superyachts of all brands, with a capacity to accommodate vessels of up to 60 metres.

Leveraging more than four decades of experience within the Gulf Craft Group, SYSC provides comprehensive solutions to help yacht owners maintain, upgrade and extend the operational life of their vessels. Its services also cover vessel registration, crew management and certification, offering support throughout every stage of yacht ownership, from routine maintenance to major refit projects.
