When I arrived in the UAE in 2002, Gulf Craft was still more or less a start-up, even though it had been around since 1982.

Now that I\u2019m back after a few years away, I\u2019ve found that the other brands, Nomad, Oryx and SilverCat, aren\u2019t represented globally in the same way as Majesty Superyacht.
