Gulf Craft is a UAE-based manufacturer with production facilities in Umm al-Quwain, producing a range of motor vessels including the Majesty series of fibreglass crewed charter yachts. The yard entered the larger yacht segment with the Majesty line, covering 48 to 175 feet, and the build approach emphasises production efficiency and practical volume at accessible price points. Gulf Craft charters are available to a broader range of budgets than most Bahamian superyacht options.
Three Gulf Craft yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean. The vessels in service draw from the Majesty series and range from around 48 to 75 feet, accommodating between six and ten guests in three to four cabins. Crew sizes of four to six cover passage management and hospitality. The layouts emphasise social deck space, with generous flybridge areas and aft decks suited to Bahamian day-use.
Weekly charter rates for Gulf Craft yachts in the Bahamas fall broadly between 20,000 and 60,000 euros per week, representing the most accessible price point in the Bahamian crewed charter market. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent for fuel, food, port fees, and crew gratuity. Caribbean season runs December through April. Availability on a fleet of three is reasonably flexible outside the peak holiday weeks.
Long Island suits a compact, agile charter yacht well. The shallow anchorages at Stella Maris, Cape Santa Maria, and Salt Pond are easily approached by moderate-draft hulls, and the tendency of the island to be overlooked by larger vessels means less competition for the best spots. Dean Blue Hole is within tender reach of the Clarence Town anchorage. For a group that wants a genuine Bahamian experience at a practical budget, Long Island delivers.
