The Nomad 101 is Gulf Craft’s flagship tri deck explorer, a near 31 metre motor yacht that pairs genuine long range ability with the shallow draft and robust build that have made the Nomad name. Launched in 2023 and given a refreshed exterior and interior for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, with interiors reworked by Phathom Studio, she is built in composite at Gulf Craft’s yard in the United Arab Emirates. Twin MAN V12 diesels drive her to a top speed of around 22 knots and an easy 12 knot cruise, while a fuel capacity close to 14,000 litres gives a range of roughly 3,100 nautical miles for serious passage making.
Across three decks she accommodates ten guests in five cabins, with a dedicated crew area for the captain and team. The explorer layout makes the most of her volume: a beach club aft, a protected foredeck, generous sunbathing and dining areas, and a flybridge that commands the view. A tender and toy garage carries jet skis and a tender, in keeping with the go anywhere brief. For an owner who wants an ocean capable yacht that can also slip into shallow bays other 30 metre yachts cannot reach, the Nomad 101 is a practical and well proven flagship.

Twin MAN V12 diesels, rated around 1,550 horsepower each, give the Nomad 101 a top speed of about 22 knots and a comfortable cruise near 12 knots. With a fuel capacity close to 14,000 litres she offers a range of roughly 3,100 nautical miles, enough for genuine ocean passages rather than just coastal hops. An MTU engine option has been offered on some hulls. Just as important for an explorer is her shallow draft, which lets her reach anchorages that deeper 30 metre yachts cannot, and her composite hull, engineered for distance and reliability. She is tuned for seakeeping and endurance, a yacht built to go a long way and stay out, rather than to chase outright speed.
The refreshed Nomad 101 wears cleaner, more contemporary lines over the same capable tri deck explorer hull. Three decks give her the volume to lay out a beach club aft at water level, a protected foredeck seating area, broad side decks and a flybridge that makes the most of the view. The styling is purposeful rather than flashy, in keeping with the explorer brief, with large windows bringing light into the interior and generous outdoor space for a life spent at anchor. A tender and toy garage carries jet skis and a tender, and the robust composite structure is built for the demands of long range cruising in varied conditions.
Inside, the Nomad 101 sleeps ten guests across five cabins, with the owner given a private suite and the layout arranged for family cruising. The 2025 refresh brought a reworked interior by Phathom Studio, with a lighter, more contemporary palette while keeping the warmth and practicality the explorer brief demands. The main deck galley and salon are set up for real living aboard on longer trips, and the raised pilothouse gives a commanding helm. A dedicated crew area with a captain’s suite and additional crew cabins keeps the professional team separate from guest spaces, so the yacht can be run properly on extended passages.
The Nomad 101 is designed for a life spent away from the marina. The aft beach club brings guests down to the water, the flybridge offers shade and a vantage point, and the foredeck gives a quieter place to relax under way or at anchor. Three decks mean the social spaces can spread out, so a family or a group can gather or find their own corner. The explorer layout, generous tankage and shallow draft all point the same way: towards long, self sufficient cruising in places more conventional yachts of this size would struggle to reach, with the comfort of a far larger yacht on board.
The Nomad 101 is built in composite at Gulf Craft in the United Arab Emirates, one of the region’s largest and most established yards, and is offered built to order so owners can tailor the specification. She carries around 195 gross tonnes of volume across her three decks. New build pricing is by order through Gulf Craft’s dealer network; as a guide, nearly new examples have been offered from around 8.8 million euros, with recent resales of 2023 hulls reported near 11 to 12 million euros depending on specification. For a buyer who values a proven, ocean capable explorer with shallow draft and real range, backed by a major builder, the Nomad 101 is a well supported flagship choice.
