The sensible centre of the fleet
Every high-volume builder has one boat that quietly pays the bills, and for Gulf Craft's yacht range it has long been the 62. She offers the essential Majesty proposition, more cabins and more standard equipment than the European names at the length, at a price that leaves budget for the actual boating, and she does it without a single exotic engineering bet. Generations of the yard's flybridge buyers have started at this size, and the model's longevity is its own review.
The recognition followed the sales. At the Yacht Style Awards in 2019 the 62 took the prize for best Asia-built motor yacht between 15 and 24 metres, a category thick with capable competition, and the win marked the point where the region's press stopped grading Gulf Craft on a curve.
Four cabins plus crew at 18.8 metres
The berthing plan is the boat's core argument. A master and a VIP, both en suite, a twin and a single sharing the third bathroom, seven guests sleeping in real beds on a hull under 19 metres. A separate crew cabin with its own head completes the plan, so a captain or a deckhand-cook lives aboard without borrowing guest space.
For the family buyer the arithmetic is decisive, children in the twin, grandparents in the VIP, a friend in the single, and the owners keep their full beam master. Boats a full class larger from the fashion brands frequently sleep fewer people, which is why the 62 keeps winning comparisons she is theoretically too small to enter. The berths are real ones with real stowage, drawn for a fortnight aboard, which is where optimistic layouts usually surrender.
Seven guest berths, a crew cabin and 25 knots on 18.8 metres, the boat that quietly built the brand's owner base.
MAN 800s, 25 knots, no drama
Twin MAN i6-800 diesels, straight sixes of 800 horsepower each, drive the 62 to 25 knots with a comfortable 20 knot cruise. The engines are the segment's dependable choice, compact, efficient and serviceable across every market the boat sells in, and they leave the machinery space accessible in a way owners who check their own dipsticks appreciate. Parts and service knowledge for these engines exist in every serious yard from Marseille to Male, which keeps downtime short wherever the boat lives.
With 3,646 litres of fuel the practical envelope is the classic coastal one, 450 nautical miles at displacement pace, ample for the marina-to-anchorage rhythm the boat is built around. The 1.2 metre draft opens beaches, sandbanks and shallow berths, which in the Gulf and the islands is where the weekends happen.
A flybridge sized like the second deck it is
The semi-covered flybridge is drawn for maximum outdoor living, helm forward, then dining and sun space running aft under the option of shade. It converts an 18.8 metre boat into a two storey residence, and in the brand's home climate the upper deck carries most of the day, breakfast through sundowners.
Down below, the main deck keeps the galley in the conversation and the glazing generous, and the cockpit connects to the swim platform where the tender, the toys and the swimming traffic live. None of it is novel, all of it is proportioned a size more generously than the length suggests, which is the recurring family trick.
The boat that builds Majesty owners
The 62 is where many of the brand's longest relationships start. She is bought as a first crewed boat or a step up from sport cruisers, run for some seasons, then traded against a 72 or a Nomad as the itineraries grow, with the yard's trade-in ecosystem smoothing each move up the ladder. High production volume means the model benefits from continuous small refinements, hull after hull.
Her position has since been reinforced from below by the newer, restyled Majesty 60, but the 62 keeps the fuller cabin count and remains the value benchmark of the pair. For buyers comparing spec sheets across brands at this length, she remains one of the strongest sums in production boating.
Who it is for: A pragmatic family owner who counts berths, service bills and standard equipment before badges, and wants a crew cabin without a crewed-yacht budget.
