New Model: Majesty 120

Gulf Craft is proud to announce the official launch of its brand-new super yacht, the 37-meter tri-deck Majesty 120. The stunning addition to the Majesty Yachts, Superyacht Collection took to the waters of the Emirates for the first time on 18th February. Launched on schedule, advancement of the technologically engineered and exquisitely designed super yacht represents a major milestone for the Emirates based yacht builder. The launch of the Majesty 120 represents the latest chapter in the story of a project that was first announced during the Monaco Yacht Show 2019 by Mohammed H. Alshaali, Executive Chairman. Constructed using advanced composites such as GRP and carbon fibre, the Majesty 120 is one of the company’s most highly anticipated projects to date. Since its announcement, the team has received multiple interests in this super yacht. In a series of engineering breakthroughs for Gulf Craft, the super yacht is the first-ever Majesty Yacht model to have its onboard equipment fully electrically powered, with no hydraulic systems being used. The result is a noise-free environment and a less demanding maintenance lifespan. Only the engines and generators remain powered by conventional diesel methods. The super yacht’s dynamic exterior profile features angular lines and contemporary styling. The shipyard’s in-house design team followed the new DNA of Majesty Yachts – Superyacht Collection as featured on the award-winning Majesty 140. One of the key features onboard is the vast sun deck space, which is 30 per cent larger than yachts in its class. The Italian studio of Cristiano Gatto Design Team undertook the interior design, following their collaboration with Gulf Craft in the design of the Majesty 175 and the interior of the Majesty 140. The team worked to a brief that called for a minimalist yacht to meet international tastes, resulting in a modern and contemporary interior design. Onboard, the Majesty 120 accommodates up to 11 guests across five spacious staterooms in a first of its kind asymmetric layout. A total of seven crew are also accommodated onboard. The launch of the Majesty 120 follows a series of construction updates in recent months. The hull was first released from the mold in the first quarter of 2019 in an example of Gulf Craft’s efficient production methods. Then in December, Gulf Craft announced that the superyacht’s main deck and sun deck had been successfully joined to the hull. This sandwich-construction and smart module thinking ensured the build schedule would be shorter, thereby ensuring that the completion deadline of March 2020 was met. The Majesty 120 has a confirmed Gross Tonnage of 290 GT and is powered by twin MTU 2600hp each.

New Model: Mag Bay 42

Mag Bay presents its new 42 model.  This the second model in the Mag Bay line following a 33 outboard center console which by end 2019 had arrived at hull number 35.  Designed by Micheal Peters the Mag Bay 42 is a fine looking express sportfish cruiser, in a market which contrary to a decade ago or before, and due to the success of the outboard center consoles is really flat at the moment.  The Mag Bay 42 is powered by twin 1000hp Volvo with line shaft propulsion.  No speed data has so far been announced.  The first hull from design to tooling took just over six hundred days to complete, showing the amount of technical detailing that Mag Bay has went before it launched its new big second model.  Founded in 2016 Mag Bay comes from the same family which founded Cabo in 1991,  who are renowned for getting production and details close to perfection.  With this model the Mag Bay founders return to a style of an inboard powered sportfish cruiser, which with the previous brand they dominated in the sub forty feet size, especially in between late nineties and up until 2007.  History might repeat itself again, I guess time will tell, the product does seem to have all the credentials to do it.
