Gulf Craft Majesty 120 Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The exterior of this custom Majesty 120 sets itself apart from the standard model straight away with a metallic silver hull, replacing the usual white. On the aft deck, there’s a large al fresco dining area. A crane is mounted discreetly to manage tender handling onto the bathing platform, which also links to the garage.

Up top, the sun deck includes a forward hot tub, a central bar with fridge and ice maker, matched chairs, and storage tucked in around the space. A TV folds down from the ceiling, adding another touchpoint for entertainment. Sunbathing areas flank either side. From up here, there’s a clear view over the wake when cruising.

The sky lounge is another key outdoor-adjacent zone, with a beautifully lit bar, retractable TV, detailed wood finishes and a cushioned chill-out area - all drawing together for a calm, sociable space.

At the bow, sunbeds can be shaded and there’s storage throughout. Another crane handles personal watercraft stowed up here. Under a flush hatch sits a laundry area - not a usual place to find one, but part of the owner’s requested layout. Anchor gear, winches, and the ship’s bell are located right at the front.

Moving around the superstructure, wing stations feature the Majesty logo and provide additional control points for docking. The bathing platform itself is fully hydraulic. It can lift flush with the quay or drop into the sea for water access. Just inside, the beach club sits behind a clamshell door, which forms a wide, sheltered lounging space at the water’s edge - shaded, protected, and ideal for relaxing at anchor.

The custom layout continues inside. The main deck saloon breaks away from the usual format - instead of a formal dining area forward, the owner has opted for a large open-plan entertaining space with a bar and huge wall-mounted TV. The interior is finished in a pale, light-toned scheme that keeps things bright and modern, softened by plush textures and a few darker wood highlights for balance.

The galley has been reimagined as a country kitchen - warm, sociable, and part of the guest experience rather than tucked away for crew use. Finished to a high standard, it’s fully functional with integrated refrigeration and ample storage, yet its layout and materials make it feel like a true heart-of-the-yacht gathering space.

Further up, the sky lounge mirrors this relaxed vibe with its well-detailed bar and elegant furniture. Feature woodwork and soft lighting make it ideal for quieter evenings or movie nights.

Owner's Cabin

Forward on the main deck, the owner’s cabin sets the tone for the private areas. Light tones keep it calm and fresh, and there’s a refined use of dark wood to add weight and contrast. The ensuite includes a large central shower, private WC, and smart-glass windows that can turn opaque at the touch of a button for full privacy. Dressing areas include full-height hanging space, shelving, and a concealed safe.

Sensor-activated lighting adds a subtle modern convenience as guests move around the space, creating a feeling of arrival and calm.

Guest Accommodation

On the lower deck aft, there are two large double cabins, each with a full ensuite, hull windows, ample storage, and AV systems. Just forward sits a third cabin with twin beds and a Pullman berth, also ensuite and with similar wardrobe and storage arrangements.

Where the layout becomes particularly distinctive is further forward. The owner has opted for a private two-cabin suite set up like a self-contained apartment - perfect for families. This space includes two bedrooms (both ensuite), a central shared space, and a pocket door that can extend the apartment to include the twin cabin, creating a private three-cabin area forward. It’s an unusual configuration, but one that adds significant versatility to the layout.

On the upper deck, the captain’s cabin - usually tucked away with private access - has been subtly reworked. Its entrance has shifted to a guest-accessible corridor, meaning it can function as a seventh guest cabin when needed. It’s ensuite, finished to a high standard, and includes wardrobes and AV setup. This adds a level of backup flexibility that owners cruising with large groups may appreciate.

Crew Accommodation

Crew areas are accessed from the main deck and kept entirely separate from the guest flow. There are three crew cabins, each with its own ensuite. A compact mess includes a sink and further laundry facilities. These zones were in use during filming, so details were brief, but the layout is clearly functional and tailored for practicality over polish.

Laundry storage also appears forward, tucked under a deck hatch in the bow, placed there by specific owner request. This is one of several signs that the layout was designed with real-world use in mind, both for guests and the working crew.

The engine space is clean, spacious, and fitted with emissions-reducing systems in line with newer environmental standards. A pair of MTU 16V2000 M97L engines sit at the core. Estimates put them around 2,500hp each, giving the Majesty 120 a top speed close to 20 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. Range at cruise is approximately 1,500 nautical miles.

Large generators are located aft, with access beneath the deck to stern gear and auxiliary systems. A water maker is also installed. The whole space is presented well, with careful attention to clean layout and access.

This Majesty 120 is a strong example of how far Gulf Craft is willing to go in meeting an owner's vision. From the metallic silver hull to an unconventional galley layout, through to the clever guest accommodation tweaks and additional flexibility with the captain’s cabin, it shows that there’s far more room for individuality than some might assume in a 37-metre yacht model.

Practicalities haven’t been forgotten either. The engine room is clean and well-specced, the crew areas are properly set up with three cabins and a mess, and the beach club makes full use of the bathing platform with clever crane integration and a generous sheltered seating zone.

Seven usable cabins, a proper entertaining galley, a three-cabin guest suite up front, and considered use of space throughout show just how adaptable this platform is. For an owner who wants to be closely involved, the Majesty 120 offers a lot more than just aesthetic choices - layout, flow, and function are all on the table.
