This year's edition saw the announcement and revelation of the very first images of a brand-new superyacht; the Majesty 111, the world premiere of the tri-deck superyacht, the Majesty 120, the adventurous Nomad 70 SUV, and the versatile SilverCat 40 CC catamaran. All the models from Gulf Craft’s diversified range of crafts – ranging from fishing boats and family cruisers to state-of-the-art superyachts were received well with enthusiasm and great interest by visitors.

Dubai's growing stature as a superyacht production hub and maritime capital of the world was mirrored at the show with a remarkable footfall.
