Gulf Craft Brings Luxury Sea Travel to Oman

Jan. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Speaking at the company’s exclusive preview event at the Almouj Marina at Al Mouj Muscat, Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft, said this increased desire to spend more quality time on water mirrors regional trends, in which comfort, space, and the capacity to entertain are becoming a priority for existing and prospective owners.

“The Sultanate of Oman has always had a strong affinity with the sea, but what we are witnessing today is evolving aspirations,” Bamps said. “The country’s devoted sea travelers are looking for more than just a quick fishing trip along the coastline. They recognize the promise of on-water living, and they want to share that extraordinary experience with others.”

This, combined with the country’s deeply-rooted passion for boating, its ongoing waterfront developments, and beautiful scenery, makes the Sultanate of Oman a favorable market for luxury sea travel, says Bamps.

“However, this does not mean everyone is looking for the same experience,” added Bamps. “Although we have noticed this emerging trend, we understand that our discerning Omani clientele have diverse needs and requirements, and that is why each innovation in our wide range of semi-custom craft offers a distinct cruising experience.”

Wayne Shepherd, General Manager of Mourjan Marinas, commented, “The award-winning five-star state-of-the-art facilities of Almouj Marina are the perfect showcase for this outstanding premium event, reflecting and radiating the exclusive luxury lifestyle it epitomizes. The Almouj Marina team is very much looking forward to a second successive year of rewarding collaboration as it helps the Gulf Craft Exclusive Preview make the most of the Marina’s myriad of amenities and advantages. I know our discerning boating community is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to explore the possibilities of this select seafaring portfolio, share their insights into its latest innovations, and assess potential purchases.”

Among the yachts and boats on display at Gulf Craft’s Exclusive Preview event (www.gulfcraftinc.com/landingpage/gc_exclusive_preview_in_sultanate_of_oman_2016), which runs until Saturday, 16th of January, are the award-winning superyachts, the Majesty 135 and the Majesty 122. These ‘floating palaces’ combine sophisticated technology with opulent design for a truly royal cruising experience.

Characterized by its ability to maximize both space and natural light from the inside and out, the Majesty 135 offers a roomy and bespoke interior that emanates luxury, from the vanity table tops made from premium quality marble to the lustrous silver leaf ceilings in the main saloon and the owner’s stateroom. The novelty features onboard this superyacht are abundant, stretching from the use of state-of-the-art technology and environmentally friendly equipment, to advanced entertainment systems and ample lounging areas.

Gulf Craft’s stunning Majesty 122, which launched earlier this year, has also proven to be a welcome addition to the shipyard’s line of luxury fly-bridge superyachts. With unrivaled lounging areas for entertaining both inside and out, including two decks with lavish interiors, an extended balcony, a spacious fly-bridge, and large windows offering panoramic views of the sea, superyacht aficionados will be immediately enamored by this craft’s eloquent charm and prolific elegance.

The impressive range on display also includes Gulf Craft’s recently launched Nomad Yachts collection, a series of powerfully engineered and comfortable loft-style yachts built for avid explorers of the sea, as well as its Silvercraft fishing boats and family cruisers, and its Oryx sport cruisers.

All of Gulf Craft’s semi-custom yachts and boats are built in the Emirates-based manufacturer’s state-of-the-art shipyard, cementing the Middle East’s presence as a global player in the leisure marine sector, and the region’s position as a recognized hub for the production of world-class craft.
