A UAE company has launched the world’s largest superyacht made from composite materials.

Gulf Craft's flagship superyacht, Majesty 175, is 54 metres in length with a beam of 9.6 metres and was produced in the company's boatyard in Umm Al Quwain.

The sleek yacht, with its wood-panelled interior, was built using composite materials such as carbon fibre and vinyl ester. The shallow draft also enables close beach access.

It has a five-metre infinity pool, a lounge that can be converted to a sun deck, seven staterooms and accommodation for 10 crew members.

The yacht was launched by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed, chairman of Dubai Sports Council, during its world premiere at Dubai Harbour.

The yacht, which was unveiled late last year, took four years to build and has completed a series of sea trials.

Superyachts are luxury vessels that are at least 24 metres long and are manned by a professional crew.

Also referred to as megayachts, the vessels have become popular among wealthy tourists during the pandemic.

Mohammed Al Shaali, chairman of Gulf Craft, said the launch indicated the appeal of the country as a major yachting hub.

“Gulf Craft invested nearly four years of effort in building this vessel, quicker than the normal timeframe, despite the challenges of the pandemic,” he said.

"With the regional premiere of the Majesty 175 at Dubai Harbour, we are reiterating the appeal of the country as a full-fledged yachting destination."

Mr Al Shaali said it demonstrated the company’s capability to manufacture world-class vessels.

The lightweight material will aid cruising in low-draft waters, allowing for quicker beach access, a key element sought by yacht enthusiasts.

Gulf Craft has built more than 10,000 yachts and boats, ranging in length from 9.5 to more than 50 metres, at its premises in the UAE and the Maldives.

Dubai Harbour: Sheikh Mohammed unveils major new project with Middle East’s biggest marina

Ahmed Al Khaja, chief executive officer of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, said the launch of a superyacht during a pandemic showed the country’s ability to remain at the forefront of the world’s recommended safe travel destinations.

“The new state-of-the-art vessel highlights Dubai’s position as a leading hub for cruise tourism and the global maritime industry, as well as the UAE’s proven track record in the boat building sector based on innovation and excellence,” he said.

The yacht was docked at Dubai Harbour, which has not yet officially opened, although several privately owned yachts are moored off it.

When fully operational, the harbour will have 1,100 berths for yachts of up to 160 metres in length.

The vast marina, near Bluewaters Island and The Palm, Jumeirah, is managed by luxury marina group D-Marin Dubai.

It will have restaurants, hotels, residences, a crew club, independent fuel pumps and a helipad.

Dubai Harbour’s cruise liner terminals will have a combined floor area of almost 2.8 square kilometres.

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.

Fly from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Chiang Mai in Thailand, via Bangkok, before taking a five-hour bus ride across the Laos border to Huay Xai. The land border crossing at Huay Xai is a well-trodden route, meaning entry is swift, though travellers should be aware of visa requirements for both countries.

Flights from Dubai start at Dh4,000 return with Emirates, while Etihad flights from Abu Dhabi start at Dh2,000. Local buses can be booked in Chiang Mai from around Dh50
