Gulf Craft’s Majesty 100 Terrace has emerged as one of the most compelling yacht debuts in recent years, a bold reinvention of one of the UAE shipyard’s most iconic models. First unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the 32.25-meter vessel immediately drew attention for its sculpted exterior, expansive interiors, and innovative design choices that set a new standard for contemporary yachting.
With the handover of its first hull, the Majesty 100 Terrace now begins its life at sea, heralding a new era in elevated cruising. At the heart of the design lies the feature that lends the yacht its name: a raised owner’s terrace positioned at the bow, delivering sweeping 270-degree views and a sense of privacy rarely found in vessels under 40 meters.
This secluded retreat, equally suited for sunrise coffee or starlit dinners, underscores Gulf Craft’s ability to deliver superyacht-level amenities within a more agile profile. The Majesty 100 Terrace combines the intimacy of a personal yacht with the presence of a larger vessel, bringing together comfort, innovation, and craftsmanship in a single package.
Space has been masterfully configured to enhance both private living and social gatherings. Offering 199 gross tons of volume, the yacht features a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck and four additional cabins below, ensuring versatility for family or guests.
Entertainment is at the forefront of the design, with fold-down balconies expanding the aft cockpit by nearly 20 percent, a generous beach platform allowing direct access to the sea, and side decks that run the full beam of the yacht. With its shallow draft, the Majesty 100 Terrace is able to access secluded bays and hidden anchorages that remain out of reach for larger superyachts, extending its appeal to owners seeking both exploration and elegance.
Design innovation runs throughout the yacht. The repositioned wheelhouse makes room for a panoramic sky lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering the atmosphere of a penthouse at sea. The garage door cleverly doubles as a flip-down seating area, transforming into a water-level lounge, while modular furniture allows seamless transitions between daytime relaxation and evening entertaining.
Inside, skylights, glass doors, and a sunlit stairwell dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior, while a palette of walnut wood, brushed brass, and marble enhances the refined atmosphere.
Performance has not been overlooked. With a fuel-efficient hull and advanced navigation systems, the Majesty 100 Terrace offers long-range cruising capability while accommodating ten guests and six crew in comfort. At just over 105 feet, it strikes a balance between grandeur and agility, ensuring both statement-making presence and access to more intimate destinations.
The launch of this yacht signals not just another chapter for Gulf Craft but a leap forward for the industry. The Majesty 100 Terrace embodies the brand’s forward-thinking approach, proving once again that the future of yachting is being shaped in the UAE. For its new owners, it represents the start of unforgettable journeys. For the market, it sets a bold new benchmark in luxury design at sea.
