Gulf Craft, based in the UAE and best known in the superyacht segment for its Majesty range, produces a series of composite motor yachts that have found buyers and charter operators across the Mediterranean and Caribbean. The Majesty range combines modern Gulf-influenced design with functional layouts and full MCA compliance, making the vessels straightforward to deploy into the charter market.
The Leeward Islands offer Gulf Craft charter yachts a variety of sheltered anchorages and calm-water passages suited to the size range and displacement of the Majesty fleet. The protected bays of Guadeloupe and the Saintes, the calm anchorage of English Harbour on Antigua and the sheltered approaches to St Barts and St Martin all suit these vessels well, particularly during the settled trade wind season from December through April.
Gulf Craft charter yachts in the Leeward Islands typically range from 30,000 to 100,000 euros per week depending on size. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, port dues and drinks, adds approximately 25 to 30 percent. Gulf Craft vessels represent accessible pricing relative to European builders of similar length, making them suitable for guests new to superyacht charter.
From a Leeward base, Gulf Craft yachts work best on the shorter passages between nearby islands. Antigua to Guadeloupe, Guadeloupe to the Saintes and the inter-island routes of the northern chain between St Barts, St Martin and Anguilla all suit the comfort and speed profile of these vessels.
