The world’s largest composite production superyacht had its premiere at Dubai Harbour on Sunday.

The locally-manufactured 'Majesty 175' is made from composite material like fibreglass.

It was unveiled by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council.

Fully manufactured in the UAE, the Majesty 175 successfully completed a series of sea trials before its global premiere.

The yacht will soon venture on voyages across the world, taking the UAE flag to global events, marinas and exotic destinations.

Smart design

The Majesty 175’s exterior and interior were designed by the award-winning Cristiano Gatto Design Studio in Italy, while the naval architecture was developed by Massimo Gregori of the Yankee Delta Studio.

Its stand-out features include a 5-metre infinity pool at the forward deck and a hybrid sky-lounge that can be converted to an open sun deck.

The smart layout accommodates seven lavish staterooms and can host a crew of up to 10 members.

It also has the ability to effortlessly cruise low-draft areas, drawing just 2.05 metres of water, as it was built using advanced composite materials such as carbon fibre and vinyl ester.
