Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, on Sunday unveiled the Majesty 175, the world’s largest composite production superyacht, at its world premiere at Dubai Harbour.
The Majesty 175 is the flagship superyacht by Gulf Craft. It completed a series of sea trials before its global premiere and was fully manufactured in the UAE.
The company invested nearly four years of effort to build the vessel, which is faster than the usual timeframe, despite the Covid-19 challenges said Mohammed Alshaali, the chairman of Gulf Craft.
Features
Advanced composite materials such as carbon fibre and vinyl ester were used to build the yacht. This enables close beach access, a key consideration for many marine lifestyle enthusiasts.
Its features include a 5-m infinity pool at the forward deck and a hybrid sky lounge that can be converted to an open sun deck. It’s equipped with seven staterooms and can host a crew of up to 10 members with six large crew cabins and a private captain accommodation.
It has a full speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Majesty 175 has a range of 4,000 nautical miles, making her a transoceanic vessel.

The 55-metre long superyacht with a beam of 9.6m has a gross tonnage of 780 and was built to the specifications outlined by the UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for yachts over 500 gross tonnage (GT),
The yacht will venture on voyages across the world soon to global yacht events, marinas and exotic destinations.
“The UAE has quickly rebounded as one of the world’s safest tourist destinations, further driving the growth of the yachting tourism sector. With nearly 830 superyacht projects built or ordered globally this year, the Middle East continues to be one of the strongest markets for superyachts," said Helal Saeed Al Marri, director-general, Dubai Tourism.
