One of the leading luxury yacht builders in the region, Gulf Craft has announced the Nomad 101 as the headliner of the Qatar Boat Show 2025, unveiling a reimagined tri-deck yacht that combines exceptional performance with residential-style comfort and elegant design. Purpose-built for those who enjoy life at sea, the 30-metre Nomad 101 offers remarkable space for its class, a smooth semi-displacement hull with a top speed of 22 knots, and up to 1,800 nautical miles of effortless cruising at 10 knots.
After its first unveiling to Qatar in 2005, the Nomad brand has a long-standing presence in the market, proudly supported today by the local dealer Gulf Yachts. Its comfort-first layouts – with shaded decks, enclosed and climate-controlled lounges, and private, family-friendly circulation – are proven for the Gulf’s conditions, making Nomad brand a natural fit for year-round coastal and offshore cruising. Robust build and efficient engineering support longer stays at anchor with comfort, privacy and effortless day-to-day use.
This year the Nomad 101 debuts a refreshed exterior profile and thoughtfully renewed interiors in collaboration with Phathom Studio (Netherlands). Expansive shaded terraces, sun-lounges, and dining areas deliver uninterrupted vistas across every deck, while a flexible five-cabin layout, two crew cabins, a dedicated captain’s suite, and a fly-bridge rest area comfortably host up to 10 guests and 5 crew.
Guests embark via a recreational aft platform with a hydraulic tender-launch, plus a sheltered toy garage sized for two three-seat jet skis and a tender boat. The shaded 30 m² cockpit opens into a newly curated salon and dining space; full-height patio doors create a horizon-to-horizon great room. A versatile galley with retracting panels transforms from private chef’s domain to an interactive social hub, with the forward master suite just steps away.
Inside, a soft-minimalist palette of tactile, natural materials brings warmth and visual harmony. Panoramic glazing maximises light while managing heat, ensuring cool, climate-controlled comfort in hot and humid regions. On the upper deck, a convertible indoor-outdoor bar and day head encourage year-round use; the fly deck adds an exterior bar, barbecue, al-fresco dining, a seating area, and a helm station, all designed for shaded, sociable living.
The Nomad 101 flexes effortlessly between private family cruising, owner-operator lifestyles, and fully crewed or charter operation, supported by generous storage, efficient crew circulation, and considered privacy between service and guest areas.
