Gulf Craft has been distinguished for its unique ability to deliver both quality and value to its clientele by one of the most coveted recognition in the international super yacht manufacturing industry, the World Super yacht Awards.

Hosted by Boat International, the annual World Super yacht Awards are sought-after by the world’s leading super yacht builders and are considered a prominent achievement in the leisure marine industry. The Emirates-based yacht and boat builder received the accolade at a glamorous ceremony in Italy, where owners and industry leaders gathered to celebrate the remarkable ingenuity demanded by the design, engineering, and construction of the world’s finest luxury yachts.

Three of Gulf Craft’s brilliant innovations – the Majesty 155 (M/Y Escape), the Majesty 135(M/Y Jewel), and the Majesty 122 (M/Y Nashwan) – were named as finalists in different categories, with the luxurious 37-metre Majesty 122 ultimately taking the Quality and Value Award.  This award is presented to a yacht that demonstrates high quality while avoiding undue escalation in high cost.

The Majesty 122 (M/Y Nashwan) was competing against all named finalists at the World Super yacht Awards – 66 internationally produced super yachts – for this prestigious recognition, marking yet another milestone for Gulf Craft as the shipyard continues to consolidate its position as a global leader for the manufacturing of world-class super yachts.

This is the third international award theMajesty 122receives since the superyacht was globally launched at last year’s Dubai International Boat Show. In 2015, theMajesty 122showed an early start to success when it received the Best Asian Built Yacht Award at the Asia Boating Awards. The superyacht also won ‘Best Yacht Installation’ at the 2015 CEDIA Awards, which celebrate excellence in home technology design, installation, and integration across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

According to the judges, the quality of Gulf Craft’s yachts has significantly increased over the last few years, and this was certainly reflected in the Majesty 122(M/Y Nashwan). Not only is the superyacht built to a high standard in all areas, but it displayed a spacious layout that includes a tender garage and a commodious crew area, as well as outstanding facilities for both owners and guests – representing exceptional value for its USD 9.5 million price tag. In the judges’ opinion, this yacht is well-suited for entry level Mediterranean and Gulf cruising.
