The award was presented during the Superyacht Design Festival, held from 1-3 February 2026 at K3 Convention centre in Kitzbühel, Austria, where the international superyacht design community gathered to celebrate excellence in design and innovation.

Central to the win is the Majesty 100 Terrace’s defining feature: a private owner’s terrace positioned forward, offering expansive 270-degree sea views and a level of privacy more commonly associated with significantly larger superyachts. Designed in collaboration with Phathom Studio, the terrace is directly connected to the owner’s stateroom and conceived as a personal retreat, transferring a larger-yacht privilege into a more agile 100-foot platform.

Erwin Bamps, Gulf Craft Group CEO, said: “This recognition reflects our belief that meaningful innovation begins with understanding how owners truly live on board. The Majesty 100 Terrace was designed to deliver a level of privacy and personal space rarely seen in this size category. The recognition reflects the strength of our design thinking and the collective expertise of the Majesty and Phathom Studio teams, who brought this concept to life”.

“We are delighted to celebrate this remarkable achievement together with the Majesty brand. This award recognizes our commitment to continous innovation and highlights our contribution to enhancing the owner’s experience aboard the Majesty 100 Terrace superyacht. Our sincere thanks go to the Gulf Craft team for another successful and prolific collaboration,” – shared Raquel H. Grijota, the Design Partner at Phathom Studio, who also joined the stage to receive the award.

The BOAT Design & Innovation Awards are among the industry’s most respected accolades, celebrating excellence in design, naval architecture, and onboard lifestyle across the global superyacht sector.
