Gulf Craft, the UAE-based global leader in luxury yacht manufacturing, has unveiled the redesigned Nomad 101 as the centerpiece of its participation at the Qatar Boat Show 2025. The luxury yacht manufacturer announced on November 8, 2025, that the 30-meter triple-deck vessel will showcase enhanced design features combining stable performance, comfortable accommodations, and elegant aesthetics at the exhibition running from November 5-9, 2025.
The Nomad 101 represents Gulf Craft’s response to demand from boating enthusiasts who value both luxury and freedom on the water. According to the company, the semi-displacement hull delivers a maximum speed of 22 knots while offering exceptional range, capable of cruising up to 1,800 nautical miles at 10 knots. The vessel provides interior spaces that surpass those typically found in yachts of similar class.
Luxury Yacht Design Tailored for Gulf Waters
The Nomad brand has maintained a strong presence in the Qatar market since 2005, supported by Gulf Yachts, the exclusive authorized dealer for the brand in Qatar. The luxury yacht design reflects forward-thinking engineering that addresses the specific challenges of navigating Arabian Gulf waters, incorporating shaded decks, enclosed air-conditioned salons, and layouts that prioritize privacy and family needs.
These features make the Nomad 101 an ideal choice for both long-range and short cruises throughout the year. The robust hull construction and efficient engineering deliver an extended cruising experience that balances comfort, privacy, and seamless functionality for discerning yacht owners.
Innovative Interior and Exterior Features
The 2025 version of the Nomad 101 reveals refreshed design elements, including bolder and more elegant exterior styling and reimagined interior spaces developed in collaboration with Studio Fathom of the Netherlands. Shaded terraces, sun lounging areas, and open dining spaces provide panoramic views across all three decks, creating an immersive connection with the marine environment.
Additionally, the interior layout accommodates five customizable guest cabins, two crew quarters, and a dedicated captain’s suite. An upper deck lounge area provides sophisticated hospitality for up to 10 guests and five crew members, ensuring comfortable accommodation for extended voyages.
Guests begin their journey from a hydraulically equipped aft platform designed for launching the tender boat. The covered garage accommodates an additional tender and three-seat jet skis, expanding recreational options for water sports enthusiasts aboard the yacht.
Integrated Living Spaces and Climate Control
The 30-square-meter shaded aft platform opens onto a redesigned salon and dining area that exemplifies elegant yacht design. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors create panoramic sea views, offering guests a complete visual experience of their surroundings. The flexible galley features retractable panels that transform it from a chef’s workspace into an interactive social corner.
Meanwhile, the master suite is positioned forward on the main deck, just steps away, completing the interior design’s balance between privacy and openness. The calming color palette harmonizes with natural materials throughout, providing visual warmth and tangible comfort in all living areas.
However, the design goes beyond aesthetics. Panoramic windows enhance natural lighting while regulating temperature, maintaining comfortable conditions in hot and humid climates typical of the Gulf region. The upper deck features a convertible bar that transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, alongside a dayhead shower facility, providing year-round flexibility regardless of weather conditions.
Advanced Engineering for Qatar Boat Show 2025
The upper deck terrace offers a comprehensive social space including an outdoor bar, grill, and alfresco dining area with a seating corner and helm station. According to Gulf Craft, this area was innovatively designed to provide a social experience that combines comfort and interaction away from direct sunlight, addressing the specific needs of Gulf-based yacht owners.
In contrast to conventional yacht layouts, the Nomad 101 was engineered to adapt easily to different cruising styles, whether for family trips or professionally crewed voyages. The intelligent distribution balances comfort, privacy, and movement efficiency, delivering a seamless and integrated boating experience for all aboard.
The semi-displacement hull design ensures stable cruising performance while maintaining fuel efficiency across the vessel’s impressive range. This engineering approach makes the luxury yacht suitable for both coastal cruising and longer offshore passages in Gulf waters and beyond.
Visitors to the Qatar Boat Show 2025 can experience the advanced design of the Nomad 101 firsthand at Gulf Craft’s display at platform OD-07. The exhibition provides the first opportunity for regional yacht enthusiasts to explore this redesigned model and its innovative features before it becomes available to buyers in the market.
