Gulf Craft appoints Thailand and Malaysia dealer

Derani Yachts has been appointed as dealer in Thailand and Malaysia for three brands produced by Gulf Craft, the UAE-based shipyard that manufactures composite yachts and leisure boats. The appointment covers Majesty and Nomad yachts and superyachts, as well as Oryx cabin cruisers.

The agreement expands the range of vessels represented by Derani Yachts in southeast Asia and adds models designed for different cruising profiles. The portfolio spans boats from 10 metres to 55 metres, providing options for owners seeking day use, island cruising or longer passages in tropical conditions.

Majesty yachts are positioned as larger platforms within the range, with an emphasis on interior volume, onboard comfort and layout efficiency.

Nomad yachts focus on extended time aboard, with interiors adapted for warm climates and hull designs aimed at maintaining stability across varying sea states.

Oryx models complete the line-up, offering smaller cabin cruisers intended for shorter trips, day cruising and coastal use.

The appointment covers established boating centres in Thailand, including Phuket, Krabi and Pattaya, as well as areas across the Gulf of Thailand. In Malaysia, the agreement includes Langkawi, Penang, Lumut, Port Dickson and marinas along the southern Johor coastline, alongside cruising areas on the country’s eastern seaboard.

“Southeast Asia continues to be one of the world’s most exciting growth regions for yachting, and partnering with Derani Yachts allows us to serve these markets with the level of expertise and local knowledge they deserve,” says Abdul Gaffar Saiyed, regional sales manager at Gulf Craft. “Derani Yachts’ reputation, professionalism, and long-standing commitment to premium boating make them an ideal representative for Majesty, Nomad, and Oryx in Thailand and Malaysia.”

Hakan Lange, managing director of Derani Yachts, adds: “We are thrilled to represent Majesty, Nomad, and Oryx lines in Thailand and Malaysia. These yachts and boats are exceptionally well-suited to how people cruise in southeast Asia – from family trips among the islands to extended passagemaking. Our team is committed to providing owners with the highest standards of service, support, and guidance throughout their ownership journey.”
