Majesty 125 Raises UAE Manufacturing Profile

Dubai, November 28, 2010: Gulf Craft, the region's largest and internationally renowned boat manufacturer added to its growing accolades by winning a coveted Arabian Gulf Yachting Award for its flagship Majesty 125 yacht. 

Following its globally debut earlier this year at the Cannes International Boat and Yacht Show, the Majesty 125 has succeeded in raising the UAE manufacturing profile on the global stage with successful appearances in Monaco and Genoa boat shows, helping once again to consolidate Gulf Craft's growing market share in Europe.

Commenting at the awards ceremony, Erwin Bamps, Gulf Craft's Chief Operating Officer, said: "As one of the UAE's leading manufacturers, the launch of the Majesty 125 marked a milestone, not only for Gulf Craft as a luxury yacht manufacturer but for the UAE export industry as well. The exceptional quality and rigorous engineering standards that the Majesty 125 stands for, is a testament to what is possible in the UAE."

With immaculately designed interiors, the Majesty 125 combines style and cutting edge engineering prowess. With a set of 2,400 HP engines, zero-speed fin stabilizer system, and redundancy on major on-board systems, the yacht is at the forefront of engineering innovation. The yacht was the first of its size to be constructed using the latest FRP vacuum infusion techniques, reducing weight while improving structural strength.

Established in 1982, Gulf Craft has been among the region's forerunners in commercial and industrial development, and has emerged as an ambassador for UAE manufacturing capable of producing world class products and exporting them globally.
