History and shipyard

Public profiles place its main base in Umm Al Quwain, and note shipyard operations in the UAE and one in the Maldives. The company is described as a manufacturer focused on composite construction and in-house production capability.

Its brands include Majesty Yachts for luxury yachts and superyachts, Nomad for explorer-style yachts, Oryx for sport cruisers, and SilverCraft for fishing boats and smaller leisure craft. The builder has also been associated with patrol boats, touring passenger vessels, and other utility craft. This broad portfolio makes it a mixed leisure and commercial boatbuilder rather than a single-type specialist.
