The Majesty 140 is a yacht that takes the word customisation seriously. Gulf Craft has built it to consider guest spaces and the crew's comfort too, which isn’t always the case in this sector.
And with six ensuite cabins, balconies that fold out over the water, a hot tub forward and even a 10.4-metre silver cat chase boat in tow, the guest side is well looked after just as well. Let's see how it compares to its rivals.

Review Video
The Majesty 140 was created in Gulf Craft’s own design studio with interiors by Italian designer Cristiano Gatto. Gulf Craft gave the boat its big volume and commercial backbone, while Gatto brought in softer touches - a neutral palette, curved furniture and textures. He’s known for interiors that are stylish but adaptable, and on the 140 he kept much of the furniture loose so an owner can update the look later without a refit headache.
The exterior carries the sharp glazing and angular lines you’d expect of a modern tri-deck, marked out by a reverse-angled wheelhouse window that improves visibility and adds some character to the profile. It looks sleek enough, but the substance is in the build.
The 140 is laid up in composite yet built to Bureau Veritas class and LY3 code, so you’re looking at the same fire suppression, watertight doors and safety systems you’d normally associate with a commercial vessel. It gives the yacht proper belt-and-braces credibility under the style.
Bulkheads aren’t set in stone, so the layout can be moved about to suit an owner. The platform has been delivered with six and even seven staterooms. One buyer turned the upper-deck lounge into a second master suite, another stripped out the formal dining inside to open the saloon and moved mealtimes outdoors. The yard is set up to support those changes, and the interiors were deliberately planned so the look can evolve with new owners.
Crew comfort has had unusual attention for a yacht this size. Instead of cramming everyone forward, there are crew cabins in both bow and stern, plus a captain’s cabin right by the bridge with arguably the best view on board. The split set-up makes for easier work patterns and a better life on board, which in turn keeps guests and owners happy.
The 140 replaced the successful Majesty 135 and quickly became Gulf Craft’s third-largest model, sitting above the 120 and below the new 160 and 175. At close to 400 GT, it delivers more volume than most 140-footers and you feel that in the beam of the cabins, the size of the galley and the headroom throughout.
Performance is long-legged too: at 10 knots the range can top 4,000 nautical miles, putting an Atlantic crossing in reach. Pricing has been pitched around 20 per cent below comparable European builds, which makes it a tempting alternative to brokerage for buyers who want something brand-new.
Though the depth of engineering is impressive, the exterior styling looks dated compared to its European rivals and it lacks some visual punch.
Step inside on the main deck and the first thing that hits you is the sheer scale. An enormous TV sits forward, only bettered by the size of the seating opposite. There’s a big statement coffee table in the middle, a long L-shaped sofa that would swallow ten or twelve adults, and a couple of loose chairs to balance the space.
Nearly floor-to-ceiling windows keep the view open and the light pouring in. The palette is kept light too, so the space feels generous and airy. A low cabinet separates the lounge from the dining table, and it’s not just decorative as it gives the crew somewhere to keep the table dressings and cutlery close to hand. The table shown here is laid for four, but with six guest cabins on board there’s space for everyone to sit down together inside if they want to.
Galley
The galley is seriously impressive for a yacht of this size. It takes up a good-sized footprint on the main deck. Professional-grade cooking kit sits along one side, and opposite, there’s almost an entire wall of cooling space. It was laid out with the captain's input, and the result is a space where chef and sous chef can move easily, work side by side, and plate up without tripping over each other. With the galley on this level, service runs are short and efficient, and the space feels every inch a working place.
Just aft of the galley is a pantry. It can be shut off from the saloon, so the crew have a discreet prep area and storage. There’s also a passage forward that links directly into the main guest corridor, plus a side door so crew can slip out to the decks without cutting through guest spaces. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a big difference to how the boat runs day to day.
Bridge Deck Lounge
Aft of the bridge, the space opens up again. First, there’s yet another day head - every deck has one, so you’re never far from the facilities. Then the lounge itself, which feels cosier than the main saloon but is still generously proportioned.
The bar is a standout here. It runs deep, with lovely back-bar space, a sink, fridge, freezer and a microwave, so it works almost like a second galley. Four stools line the counter, giving it the feel of a sociable hub as much as a service point. Opposite are armchairs and another TV, so you can treat it as a snug cinema as easily as a cocktail lounge.
Owner’s Cabin
Forward on the main deck, the owner’s suite takes up a generous slice of space. You first pass a bureau, a spot to sit with a laptop or fire off emails, made better by the large picture window alongside.
Just off that is the walk-in wardrobe. It runs nearly full beam, with double wardrobes, shelves, a safe and a big mirror, so there’s no shortage of stowage. Step into the cabin itself, and you notice the carpet, which was woven in Dubai and slightly contoured so it feels like ridges of water underfoot, with a soft blue running through. A large bed anchors the space, with a TV set on the forward bulkhead, and those windows on either side keep it light and open.
The bathroom carries the same sense of indulgence. A freestanding bath sits against backlit marble, there’s a big separate shower cubicle, smoked glass around the toilet, and twin sinks finished in yet more marble. It’s a striking space, but perhaps the best feature isn’t even inside.
The suite comes with its own private terrace. A fixed protected section extends with a fold-down panel, so in the morning you can step out over the water with a coffee, shaded but right on the edge of the sea.
VIP Cabin
The VIP sits amidships with the berth angled across the beam, which makes the room feel broad, though it does mean the window is behind the bed rather than in front of it. You lose the view from under the covers, but you gain an easy sightline straight to the TV.
Storage runs along the opposite wall, and the bathroom stretches the full length of the cabin. It’s wide enough for twin basins, finished in black-and-white marble, and has a big separate shower. The result is a space that feels comfortable, practical and worthy of its VIP tag.
Guest Cabins
Forward is a pair of doubles. They’re identical, each with the same carpet detail as the owner’s suite but in a different colour scheme. Big bed, hull window, bureau, double wardrobe, wall-mounted TV; everything you’d expect. Bathrooms are finished like those upstairs, with marble tops and a separate shower.
Amidships sit the twins. Again, they mirror each other, with single beds and plenty of space between them. Headroom is generous, storage is tucked behind the door, and TVs are set on the wall. Bathrooms are just as smart, echoing the style of the doubles. For charter, it works well, giving flexibility for couples, friends or children.
Crew Accommodation
Just off the wheelhouse is the captain’s cabin and it’s a space that wouldn’t look out of place as a guest suite. There’s a private bathroom on the way in, plenty of storage along one side, and then the berth itself with a massive window running the length of the cabin.
From the bed, the view is arguably one of the best on board. For the captain, it’s just supremely practical, right next to the bridge, connected to the action. It shows how much thought Gulf Craft put into crew comfort on the 140, giving the captain something far beyond the usual box room.
The rest of the crew space is aft through a side door on the port side of the main deck. There’s a mess, a small galley with fridge and microwave and plenty of storage. You also get oversight of systems here, so it doubles as a practical work zone.
The cabins themselves are a surprise for a 140ft yacht. Three identical bunk cabins are set up here, each with decent berths, a large porthole, bedside tables, a wardrobe and a private bathroom.
Forward, there are more crew cabins, plus the captain’s cabin by the bridge, so the team is properly spread out with space to themselves. Laundry machines are here too, keeping the day-to-day services close at hand. For the people who run the boat, this is about as good as it gets in this bracket.
Up on the bridge deck, the wheelhouse feels surprisingly open for a yacht of this size. Even here, there’s space to move around, and you don’t feel crammed in. A single helm seat sits at the centre, but there’s room to double up with another chair or even fit a row of leaning posts if that suits the skipper.
The console carries the usual suite of screens (navigation, systems, cameras) so the captain can keep an eye on every part of the boat. Throttles fall neatly to hand, and there’s a bow thruster as standard, with a stern thruster available as an option.
The wing stations are set just outside, giving the captain repeaters for engines and thrusters with a clear view down each side during close-quarters manoeuvres.
At cruising speed, the Majesty 140 settles into her stride. Twin 2,600hp MTUs push her to around 18.5 knots flat out, but ease her back to 10 knots, and the range extends to about 4,000nm - comfortable enough for a transatlantic run.
This 140 has a fixed aft platform. Some owners would go for a transformer here that lifts to the quayside, drops into the water and also doubles as a tender launcher. With the big 10.4-metre chase boat in play, there isn’t really a need for a tender in the garage, so the space is pressed into service for storage - rod holders, gear, etc.
If you wanted it set up differently, you could. Gulf Craft will configure it as a beach club, as they’ve done on the Majesty 120. And then you’ve got the passerelle, which folds out when you’re stern-to, solid and built for the job of getting people safely on and off.
Cockpit
Step up past the big, chunky mooring gear and the cockpit opens out as a huge space. The floor area is vast, and the standard-fit balconies hang on either side, and these make a real difference to life on board. The furniture is entirely up to the owner.
This boat has a neat split-table set-up with wraparound seating at the stern. If you’d rather have one large dining table, Gulf Craft will do it. A staircase leads up to the bridge deck, and to port is a fridge. The galley’s just forward on the main deck, but this fridge will keep cold drinks close so guests can help themselves without asking the crew.
Foredeck
Up forward, the foredeck works as another guest space. Right ahead of the wheelhouse, there’s a big table flanked by opposing benches, so a decent group can sit together with somewhere to rest a drink and enjoy the view. It’s open and social, very much an extra living area. Beyond that, the mezzanine is a technical area - anchor gear and mooring kit and it’s also where you’ll usually find a pair of jet skis. A crane sits in the middle to launch and recover them without fuss.
Bridge Deck Aft
This is the spot where guests are most likely to eat outside. You’re elevated and you’re in the open air, but you’ve still got the protection of the overhang, so at lunch, there’s shade when you need it. A staircase drops down to the cockpit, so service runs neatly between the decks. Right aft it opens out again with a bank of seating - a place to sit after dinner with a drink, or in the day when the sun swings around.
The lighting detail is nicely done. The pillars have strip lights built in, giving a soft glow in the evening. Overhead lighting is there too, but those strips make it feel atmospheric. For service, there’s a servery tucked just inside with a sink, fridge and ice maker, so the crew can serve from here without needing to run deep into the boat. From this deck, another staircase leads you up to the sun deck.
Sun Deck
Up onto the sun deck, and it really is vast. There's more flexible furniture and a crane here, too, if you’d rather stow more toys and tenders up top.
Beneath the hardtop sits a proper dinette. Big enough for meals, close enough for drinks and snacks, and it’s served by what is a galley-sized bar. Fridge, ice maker, big grill, four stools, where you can perch and serve, or be served.
Practicalities haven’t been ignored. There’s a day head tucked under the protection, which is always handy this high up. And, just like the decks below, there’s loads of clear floor space, so it never feels cramped.
Right forward, in the cut-out of the hardtop, sits the hot tub. Front and centre, looking out over the bow: the best seat in the house.
From the crew quarters, you step straight into the engine room, and the engineering quality carries on down here. Standing between the two MTUs, at about 6ft (1.83m) tall, there’s just enough clearance above your head. Any taller and it would get snug.
There’s a workbench with a vice, so tools can be set up and used on site. Systems are laid out tidily, with clear access around both engines and generators sitting on either side. Forward is the control panel, and dotted around you’ll find the watermaker, stabilisers and other support systems. For a boat carrying 2,600hp a side, nothing is crammed in, inspection points are easy to reach, and the layout feels intuitive.
Right aft, there’s an access hatch through to the tender garage, and below you can get down to the rudders. There’s also a secondary escape route here, a ladder that runs up to the cockpit. Main access is through the crew area, but if you ever need a quick exit, it’s there.
Obviously, $20,000,000 is no small amount of money, but for its size, Majesty does tend to undercut European rivals.
This is all the more impressive when you consider the amount of customisation on offer. For this budget, you'd be looking at semi-custom yachts in Europe, with the Majesty, anything (within reason) goes.
The materials and aesthetic details aren't up there with the best of the EU yards, but with that commercial backbone, the engineering is on song.
Our Verdict
The Majesty 140 lands in the right place. It’s priced competitively for its size, but it doesn’t feel like corners have been cut to get there. The balance is clear: it comes well-equipped from the outset, but still leaves room to adjust layouts and cabin mixes to suit private or charter use.
The styling leans traditional, which won’t appeal to every buyer, but if it does, the package underneath is compelling - proper commercial-level engineering, six ensuite guest cabins, crew areas that work, and the kind of volume usually found on bigger yachts. In this bracket, the 140 delivers a lot of yacht for the money.
The YachtBuyer Score provides a clear, category-by-category assessment of how the yacht performs in the areas that matter most. In this review, the Gulf Craft Majesty 140 receives an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Rivals to Consider
The Numarine 45 XP takes a very different route. It’s a full explorer yacht, built in steel, with the stance and stamina to head off the beaten path. At around 45 metres, it houses 10 guests across five cabins, sometimes six if you push the layout, and carries a crew of up to 7. Performance is modest: 16 knots flat out, with a range of roughly 4,000nm at cruising speed.
Step onto the Benetti Class 44M and you feel the difference immediately. This is a semi-custom displacement yacht with five guest cabins for 10 and room for nine crew, built for quiet, extended passages. She cruises around 11 knots, tops out at about 15, and will stretch to over 4,000 miles. The standouts are in the lifestyle spaces - a sun deck of more than 100 sq/m, a foredeck pool, and a main-deck master with its own office. It’s all very refined, with soundproofing and comfort levels tuned for long, calm journeys. Against the Majesty 140, the Benetti feels slower and more bespoke, but you trade off some of that volume.
The Custom Line 140 sits right in the same size bracket but comes from a different mindset. This is a planing yacht, built in composite, and it carries 10 guests in five cabins plus space for seven crew. The look is sporty, the feel modern, with big glazing and a private terrace for the owner. Performance is where it diverges most: a cruising speed in the high teens and a top end over 20 knots. There’s also a lot of effort in acoustic insulation and privacy, so the ride feels as smooth as it is quick. Where the Majesty 140 is about space, range and flexibility, the Custom Line 140 is about pace and style.
