Majesty 175 Exterior Design
The yacht’s exterior design by Cristiano Gatto Design Studio blends technical innovation with contemporary luxury.
The four-deck Majesty 175 carries a sleek, contemporary profile with long, flowing lines. The streamlined silhouette gives the yacht the look of something lighter. The design leans toward European superyacht styling, but with Gulf Craft’s signature emphasis on outdoor living.
The flawless paint on the Majesty 175 was implemented by Gulf Craft’s paint team and is based around the Awlcraft SE Paint System. Her metallic silver-grey hull is an ever-changing tone of dark grey to light silver in the dawn-to-dusk lighting conditions.
Techniques for post-curing, especially the black painted areas of the hull, are driven by the need to find solutions to cope with the Gulf region’s harsh marine environment.
