Majesty’s new offering offers elite design in reasonably sized packaging.
The first hull of the 106-foot Majesty 100 Terrace sets the stage for big design on a small scale. Majesty Yachts, a brand of Gulf Craft, debuted the vessel at the 2025 Dubai International Boat Show. Within a few months of its unveiling, the new owner stepped in just days before the boat made its European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, where Majesty announced a second hull (currently under construction) had been sold.
“The United Arab Emirates is our home turf, but we now export 80 percent of our inventory, with the Majesty brand doing very well on the international market,” says Alexander Souabni, head of marketing at Gulf Craft, who goes on to highlight the shipyard’s in-house manufacturing capability. “We’re a vertically integrated shipyard, which means we don’t need to account for the same margins in our manufacturing measurements, allowing us to truly maximize the amount of interior space that’s available on this 199GT yacht.”
This is evident in the size of the guest cabins, not to mention the amount of space allotted to the vessel’s six crew. On the lower deck, there are two crew bunk cabins forward and a large crew mess farther aft adjacent to the engine room. The captain’s cabin is also found on this level, accessed via the mess. A separate internal staircase for crew to port allows for smooth and discreet service, providing access to the commercial grade stainless steel galley — with views out to sea and plenty of fridge and freezer storage — on the main deck.
The Majesty 100 Terrace is the smallest member of the family – in contrast, the Majesty 175 is the world’s largest composite production vessel. The 100 Terrace is designed in collaboration with Phathom Studio, a Netherlands-based design house that dressed the exterior with fluid lines.
“The predecessor to the 100 Terrace was very successful with 18 hulls sold,” Souabni says. “We’ve always done well in the 100-foot range, even though it’s a hugely competitive size range, so we took the proven 100-foot model and built on that.”
The new model introduced fold-down balconies on either side, along with the yacht’s namesake feature, a new private owner’s open bow terrace on the main deck. The upper deck stretches overhead offering shade over a large lounging sunpad. The open sides to port and starboard allow for ocean breeze, while the solid forward edge provides a barrier to winds.
“We’ve got a little balcony terrace area on the 140, but we wanted to also give that sense of privacy to a 100-footer, which the beautiful bow terrace does well,” Souabni says. “It leads directly off the owner’s suite, with side access to port for the crew to lay out breakfast for the owners without having to interrupt them or walk through the bedroom,” he adds. “The idea is for owners to have a private space to relax away from the kids.”
When it’s time to lower the anchor, the crew can operate the remote-controlled anchor by lifting the sunpad and accessing the technical area underneath.
The bow terrace concept has been employed on other yachts, such as Damen’s Xplorer series and Ferretti Group’s INFYNITO range, though the differentiating point here is the access via the owner’s suite. It’s this convenience factor that has led the Majesty 100 Terrace to win multiple awards for its bow terrace, including a 2026 BOAT Design & Innovation award for outstanding lifestyle feature. It also proved to be a winning feature for the new owner.
“We visited a host of yachts from other yards, but the Majesty 100 Terrace immediately set herself apart,” the owner says. “The private terrace convinced us entirely; it offers the privacy we wanted while keeping the sea always within reach. Majesty Yachts was the clear choice for our family.”
The owner’s suite, with a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and drop-down television is conceived to make use of natural light. Positioned forward with a panoramic, forward-facing bed, the suite offers 270-degree views and expansive skylights.
It follows the minimalist theme that Phathom Studio applied throughout the fully customizable interior, using rich, natural materials such as marble, warm walnut and brushed brass. The four guest cabins on the lower deck — two VIPs and two twins — feature versatile layouts with optional Pullman berths and sliding beds, adding flexibility for both family use and charter.
Another key feature is the skylight atop the central stairwell in the main salon. “The skylight allows natural light to flow all the way down to the lower deck,” Souabni says. Skylights are also found in the sundeck and are available as an option in the Jacuzzi.
The main deck is arranged with a 10-seat dining table with copper inlays and floor-to-ceiling patio doors. Post-modern art installations sit either side of the flush-deck entryway from the aft deck, which has fold-down balconies, which add 15 percent more space to the deck area, and side decks flanking the main salon. Modular seating and flip-down arrangements create a versatile environment.
Key to the vessel’s offering is a 20 percent increase in entertainment areas designed for social gatherings. Together with the balanced interiors, there is a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The central staircase leads to the upper deck and its wide foredeck, which serves as a secondary terrace. The space is arranged with a Jacuzzi forward with sunpads and sofa seating, while glass cutouts in the upper deck filter sunlight into the private owner’s terrace below. The upper deck features a luxurious sky lounge — another new feature on the Majesty 100 — which replaces the previous raised wheelhouse. There’s a smaller pilothouse forward with an observation sofa for guests and a dayhead nearby.
The upper aft deck is partially shaded under a hardtop that protects the bar and al fresco dining table, and there’s a comfortable seating area in the sun farther aft. This deck acts as a serviceable second salon, allowing for multi-generational families to split up in the evenings — cocktails up top, board games down below.
The Majesty 100 Terrace has a semi-displacement hull allowing it to cover 1,366 nautical miles when cruising at 10 knots. It also boasts cutting-edge navigation and entertainment systems. Its onboard technology even extends to fog sprinklers, which are not a regulatory requirement but are one of several safety features added by Gulf Craft.
Engineered for optimal performance, it blends fuel efficiency with raw power for smooth cruising, whether in the Mediterranean or Caribbean.
