Gulf Craft Majesty 135 (2012 - 2020) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Majesty 135 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Asian Built Yacht"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Majesty 135 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Gulf Craft Majesty 135 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess 40M offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Majesty 135 features a master cabin . Equivalently, the Sunseeker 40M and Benetti Classic Supreme 132' also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Gulf Craft Majesty 135 delivers a steady 17 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sunseeker 40M with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots or the Sunseeker 42M Ocean with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Gulf Craft Majesty 135 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti Classic Supreme 132', with the slowest cruising speed of 14 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wider Yachts Wider 43 impresses with its extensive range of 4,700 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean, Wider Yachts Wider 43 and Benetti Oasis 40M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Riva 130 Bellissima focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 20 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunseeker 40M offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean has an impressive gross tonnage of 448GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Gulf Craft Majesty 135 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
