Alshaali: We have a clear vision for Majesty's future, with a roadmap outlining our goals for the next three to five years.

Bamps: “We are introducing a consistent design language and a unifying theme to the collection, while ensuring that each yacht retains its own unique character.

A new chapter in luxury at sea is beginning, with well-being, longevity, and quality of life becoming central to the design brief. At its Monaco Yacht Show press conference, Majesty Yachts embraced this market shift.

Moderated by yacht consultant and content creator Kevin Koenig, the press breakfast brought together Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft, and Cristiano Gatto, Founder of Cristiano Gatto Design.

 The brand’s ambitions for the years ahead

In his opening speech, Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, set out the brand’s ambitions for the years ahead: 'We have a clear vision of where we want Majesty to be in three to five years, and we are prepared to invest accordingly. Having a long-term vision and the commitment to act on it gives us confidence in the future. We are investing in the brand, our people, and the capabilities that will enable us to build the next generation of Majesty superyachts.”

 Longevity and well-being are common themes throughout the new superyacht line-up.

The discussion explored how longevity and well-being are common themes throughout the new superyacht line-up. The aim is to create environments that support the way people want to live, relax and spend time at sea, offering serenity and quiet in a loud world. The yachts are designed to be easy to use and maintain, and to remain durable and desirable over time.

A consistent design language 

Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft, connected this broader vision to the evolution of the Majesty superyacht collection: “The deliberate design pursuit of emotional balance and well-being at sea is reflected in the new generation of our Majesty superyacht collection. From the new Majesty 125, currently under development, through the recently launched Majesty 145 and Majesty 160, to the upcoming Majesty 180 that we are teasing here for the first time today, we are bringing a consistent design language and common theme to the collection while ensuring that each yacht retains its own distinct character.”

The Majesty 145

The Majesty 145, launched earlier in 2026, is the latest model to enter the water. At 45 metres, the yacht combines six cabins for up to twelve guests with expansive glazing, dual infinity pools, easy accessibility to the water, a gym and an infrared sauna. Its interior and exterior design by Cristiano Gatto Design, developed together with Majesty’s in-house team, set out the design direction now being carried across the wider collection.

The upcoming Majesty 160

The upcoming Majesty 160 extends this design language to a 49.5-metre platform, combining a fast-displacement hull developed with Van Oossanen Design with a full-beam master suite, seven staterooms, an infinity pool, hybrid beach club and fold-down balconies that connect the large outdoor entertainment decks with the sea.

The new Majesty 180 flagship

The new Majesty 180 flagship will become the world’s largest semi-production composite yacht at 54m in overall length, further demonstrating the capability of Majesty’s composite know-how while extending the design language established across the latest generation.

Cristiano Gatto said: “Today, luxury begins from within - with how a yacht makes us live and feel. The outside becomes an extension of that inner experience, connecting us with nature and the sea. When wellness becomes part of everyday life, it naturally becomes part of longevity.”

Designing for how people live

Across the collection, Majesty is placing greater emphasis on the relationship between the built environment and everyday well-being. Natural light, expansive views, indoor-outdoor connections, adaptable spaces and carefully considered circulation are becoming integral to how the yachts are conceived.

The approach extends beyond dedicated wellness facilities. Sleep, movement, privacy, social interaction and connection with the sea are considered as part of the overall onboard experience, allowing owners and their guests to use the yacht in ways that support different routines and lifestyles.

“Longevity” also informs the way Majesty approaches the yacht itself. Gulf Craft’s vertically integrated production model brings design, engineering and composite construction together under one organisation, allowing the company to develop its yachts with greater control over the entire process, from concept and construction through to delivery and ownership.

For Majesty, the result is a collection increasingly defined by a shared design philosophy, while retaining the flexibility to develop each yacht around the way its owner intends to live.

From the Majesty 125 to the Majesty 180, the next generation of the superyacht collection reflects a broader shift in what owners expect from a superyacht: not simply more luxury, more space or more features, but environments designed to support a better way of living at sea, for longer.
