Leading UAE manufacturer installs the region's first Seakeeper stabilizer on Gulf 95 EXP
DUBAI, UAE, 12 March 2011: Following on from the Majesty 88's much-publicized use of anti-roll stabilizers to provide a smoother ride, Gulf Craft, the region's largest yacht builder has once again announced a Middle East exclusive offering.
Installed in all the top brands of luxury yachts and sports fishers, Gulf Craft has also been a key supporter of Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizers in its Majesty range, to ensure its clients smooth sailing whether underway or at anchor.
Providing anti-roll stabilizers for military, commercial and luxury yacht applications, Seakeeper's product is combined with Gulf Craft's expert application in the new Gulf 95 Expedition yacht - a luxury yacht built for extended cruising in the highest comfort.
"We have always encouraged feedback from our owners on what they want," explained Erwin Bamps, COO, Gulf Craft. "Being able to cater to our clients' requirements and respond by incorporating the latest technological offerings is a main driver behind why we are the region's most successful yacht manufacturers. We have so many options an owner can always get the yacht that is unique to their tastes."
As the largest luxury yacht builder in the Middle East, the UAE-based company's high profile Majesty range stretches from 44ft to 135ft, all constructed in the company's purpose-built waterfront facility.
"Our range is always growing with the demand from our customers," continued Bamps, "which is why the Gulf 95 Expedition is special to us - it is a departure from our yacht range to cater for the yachtsman who wishes to travel further in greater comfort. As the certified Seakeeper service and installation centre, Gulf Craft seeks to continue enhancing unforgettable yachting experiences for our customers."
Drawing on its experience in gyro-stabilizer design and fitting from its Majesty range, incorporating Seakeeper's latest 'Gravity in a bottle' technology M21000 ensures that owners can enjoy a leisurely lunch in rough seas, guests can stroll the decks safely and everyone can sleep in comfort.
"Using a Seakeeper anti-roll stabilizer makes even the best designed hull even better," explained Andrew Semprevivo, International Sales Manager, Seakeeper US. "Incorporating the installation within the design of the new 95 Explorer gains maximum effectiveness from the unit, and we have been very pleased to work with Gulf Craft to ensure smoother ride for all."
Perfected to counter the shorter wavelength of the Arabian Gulf, as well as deeper swell of the world's oceans, the combination of the new Gulf Craft 95 Expedition hull and Seakeeper gyro-stabilizer system will ensure an unrivalled cruising experience.
