UAE-based power catamaran builder SilverCat has appointed Sultan Al Salem & Sons as its exclusive dealer in Kuwait. The strategic agreement aims to strengthen the brand’s presence in the Arabian Gulf marine market.

Operating via the Kuwait Development and Trading Company, Sultan Al Salem & Sons is an established distributor in the region, known for its long-standing association with Yamaha marine engines and personal watercraft.

SilverCat, a brand within the Gulf Craft Group portfolio, manufactures composite power catamarans designed for sports fishing and family cruising.

The partnership was formalised at the SilverCat shipyard in the UAE. Abdullah Al Salem, director and owner of Sultan Al Salem & Sons, signed the agreement alongside Gulf Craft chairman Mohammed Hussein Alshaali and chief executive officer Erwin Bamps.

SilverCat’s advanced catamaran platforms are uniquely suited to the Kuwaiti market. Engineered with a wide beam, the vessels offer expansive deck areas, exceptional hull stability, and a smooth, confident on-water experience. The range is purpose-built for high-frequency use.

Alshaali, chairman of Gulf Craft, says: “Kuwait has always been a vital market for Gulf Craft. Kuwaiti boat owners possess a deep-rooted understanding of the sea and a clear appreciation for reliable, high-performance vessels built for authentic use. Sultan Al Salem & Sons is a highly respected name with a legacy in the marine sector, making them the ideal partner to represent SilverCat and elevate our presence in Kuwait.”

“We are proud to represent SilverCat in Kuwait and to partner with Gulf Craft, a regional pioneer with an exceptional reputation and a profound understanding of Gulf boating. SilverCat’s lineup is perfectly aligned with the desires of our local market, and we look forward to driving the brand’s growth and supporting its customers in Kuwait”, adds Abdullah Al Salem, director and owner of Sultan Al Salem & Sons.

Gulf Craft recently gave an update on its new production facility for its leisure craft division, located in the Emirate of Ajman.
