UAE-based Gulf Craft, a manufacturer of luxury yachts and fibreglass boats, has unveiled its newly renovated Silvercraft 31 HT, with added features and improved design.

The new-look boat now boasts higher engine capacity of 600hp, compared to its predecessor’s 400hp, better utilisation of space, and several ergonomic features, with a sleeker and contemporary appearance, said Gulf Craft in a statement.

It has been revamped to further enhance the overall customer experience, inspired by the region’s passion for family days out on the sea and fishing trips, it said.

Measuring 9.4 m in overall length, and fitted with a 760-liter fuel tank capacity, the Silvercraft 31 HT can accommodate up to 8 persons and hold a maximum of 800 kg, it added.

The new craft has more storage space allowing passengers freedom to bring additional equipment and supplies to help prepare for a more comfortable journey, said the company statement.

The cockpit seats can now be temporarily folded away to provide more surface area when needed, a number of cabinets have been added under countertops, a net holder has been fastened to store important documents requiring easy access, two small ice boxes have been removed in exchange for a single larger ice box, an additional forward seat has been installed, and even the headroom of the hard top has been expanded, it added.

For fishermen, the foldable seats allow for more space to hold catches, and the larger ice box can keep more fish fresh during the in-bound journey to land.
 
Other alterations include a fitted footrest in the console area, and the slide door on the bathroom that replaces the L-shaped swing door to allow for a hassle-free entrance and exit.

Subtle changes in the appearance and fine detailing were also implemented as part of the Silvercraft 31 HT upgrade, presenting a more chic and modern appeal.

CEO Erwin Bamps said: “In addition to creating pioneering products that fulfil new demands and market needs in the ever-evolving yacht and boating industry, we are committed to uncovering ways to improve our customers’ journeys through our existing offerings.”

“Specifically designed with regional fishing hobbyists and family boating in mind, our engineers and architects critically evaluated every corner and feature of the craft to determine how we can make better use of the boat’s surface space,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
