A custom paint job is a surefire way to distinguish one superyacht from another. Just ask Majesty Yachts.
The burgeoning shipyard, one of five owned by UAE-based behemoth Gulf Craft, has finished the fifth Majesty 120 in a bespoke gray hue that sets it apart from its four sister ships. The 123-foot Abigail, which hit the water earlier this month in Umm Al Quwain for sea trials, showcases “Liquid Silver” and “Futura Dark Grey” shades that outshine the regular white.
Color is only one highlight of the 120, of course. The semi-displacement yacht is crafted from a combination of lightweight composites and carbon fiber, ensuring it is well-suited to cruising the shallow waters of the Caribbean, the Greek Islands, and beyond. It is also equipped with twin 2,400 hp Caterpillar C32B engines that enable a respectable top end of 23 knots and a range of 1,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots.

With a beam of just over 27 feet, the 120 offers impressive interior volume and ample space across all four decks. The interior, styled by Cristiano Gatto, features four guest cabins, a full-beam owner’s suite, a formal dining area, and a main salon with a built-in ice bar. The exterior is outfitted with a plush bow lounge, a large beach club with another ice bar, a tender garage, and two cranes that can help deploy toys.
The Majesty 120 was first unveiled in 2020 and has become Gulf Craft’s best-selling superyacht. The yard delivered the first hull in 2021, the second in 2022, and the third and fourth in 2023. The model has garnered multiple awards and helped Gulf Craft expand from the small yachting circles in the Middle East to the larger markets of Europe and North America. Hull number two in the series, which Robb Report toured at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2022, actually went to U.S. owners.
“A decade ago, I wasn’t so interested in this builder,” Juan Morillo, the Miami-based broker who had the listing on the boat in Cannes, said at the time. “But Gulf Craft has made tremendous improvements in build quality.”
Abigail is set to be delivered at the end of 2024, after which she will embark on her maiden voyage to the U.S. for her debut at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show.
