Gulf Craft Majesty 100 (Gen 1, 2017 - 2024) 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 100 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Asia-built motor yacht (over 30m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 100 delivers speeds of up to 20 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: twin salon design with upper lounge, five cabins, main deck owners suite, 20-knot maximum speed and main deck balconies.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Gulf Craft 100 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft Majesty 111 and Hatteras 105RPH have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 100 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon RP97 and Hatteras M90 Panacera are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Gulf Craft 100 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 15 knots and a top speed of 20 knots. The Gulf Craft 100 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Sanlorenzo SL106 which has an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots powered by its twin 2,400hp MTU 16V 2000 M96 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots. This is closely followed by the Ferretti Yachts 960 with a notable cruising speed of 27 knots and top speed of 31 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Ocean Alexander 32L impresses with its extensive range of 3,496 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 90, Maiora 30 Walkaround and Johnson Yachts 110 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Ferretti Yachts 960 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Sanlorenzo SL106 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 31 knots. The Gulf Craft Majesty 111 has an impressive gross tonnage of 240GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Gulf Craft Majesty 100 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.
