At the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival (CYF), Gulf Craft confirmed its strengthened focus on Europe, led by the debut of the Majesty 100 Terrace – now on the water just a year after its concept unveiling – and the award-winning Majesty 120. The company also showcased upcoming service and marine infrastructure projects designed to ensure long-term support for yacht owners.
Running from 9–14 September across Vieux Port and Port Canto, CYF is recognised as Europe’s largest in-water exhibition and serves as the traditional curtain-raiser for the continent’s yachting season.
“Twelve months after unveiling the concept in Cannes, we now present the finished Majesty 100 Terrace. Bringing a private owner’s bow-terrace to the 30-metre class – an amenity normally reserved for yachts over 42 metres. Alongside the yachts, we’re offering a first look at our new service facility – SYSC (Superyacht Service Centre) in the UAE, aimed to become a regional hub, delivering full-cycle refit, repair and lifecycle support to the yachting community. We are also highlighting our expansion in the Maldives, including the multi-phased ‘Gulf Lagoon’ maritime hub, with new manufacturing facilities at its core. And as global demand for power catamarans accelerates, we are scaling SilverCAT with a new UAE factory now under construction”, said Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman, Gulf Craft.
“Cannes Yachting Festival opens the European boat-show season and concentrates serious buyers in one of the most iconic marinas of the Cote D’Azur. We have been present consistently here since 2010 as a non-European manufacturer competing, and winning, on Europe’s main stage. Over the past five years, Europe has represented nearly a quarter of Majesty turnover, validating product–market fit and sustained investment. Looking ahead, a key ambition is to gradually introduce all our brands from the Gulf Craft Group to the European market. Next year we plan to present the Majesty 112 Terrace and introduce the Nomad adventure yachting brand with the arrival of the Nomad 101. Each vessel highlights the shipyard’s capabilities when it comes to Mediterranean lifestyles centred on indoor-outdoor living and excellent see-keeping capabilities”, remarked Erwin Bamps, Group CEO, Gulf Craft.
