According to the latest data published by Boat PRO, the benchmark for superyacht market analysis, Gulf Craft ranks 13th worldwide this year in terms of the number of yachts over 30 metres delivered globally. This ranking, established in May 2025, marks an important milestone in the Emirati manufacturer's international trajectory.

Based in the United Arab Emirates, Gulf Craft continues its international development with an offering that appeals far beyond its traditional markets. Its Majesty Yachts and Nomad ranges have helped to establish this presence, thanks to semi-custom models that are both high-performance, suitable for long cruises, and designed to meet the demands of a discerning clientele.

Gulf Craft's rise in this global ranking reflects the growing interest of owners in vessels that combine contemporary design, extensive customisation and navigational efficiency. The shipyard's strategy is based in particular on complete vertical integration, from design to production, a rare model in the sector that guarantees greater control over each stage of manufacture.

Erwin Bamps, CEO of the Gulf Craft group, emphasises that this performance is based on customer confidence, the quality of the offering and the commitment of the teams. According to him, the company has maintained a positive momentum that could take it even higher in future rankings.

Beyond the figures, Gulf Craft affirms its desire to strengthen its position on the world stage by focusing on innovation, particularly in the areas of sustainability and on-board technologies. This ambition is part of a transformation process, with the desire to actively participate in the evolution of the luxury yachting sector from its base in Dubai.

The recognition achieved this year confirms that the Emirati shipyard has found its place among the key players in the highly competitive world of superyachts. This strategic positioning also illustrates the rise of Gulf nautical expertise on the international stage.
