Majesty

Burton Waters represents Majesty Yachts in Southern UK and can help prospective owners explore both the Yacht Collection and the Superyacht Collection. The range shown by Burton Waters begins with the Majesty 60, 62, 65 and 72, then progresses to models including the Majesty 100 Terrace, 112, 120, 145, 160 and 175. It therefore covers luxury motor yachts for private cruising as well as much larger yachts intended for extended stays aboard, substantial guest groups and professionally managed operation.

Burton Waters can help customers look beyond model names and compare how each yacht’s size, accommodation, deck arrangement, cruising capability and available specification may suit their plans. The conversation may cover family holidays, Mediterranean cruising, entertaining, longer passages or moving up from a smaller motor yacht.

Across the range, Majesty yachts emphasise contemporary design, generous onboard space, panoramic glazing and indoor-outdoor living. The appropriate model still depends on practical needs, including guest numbers, intended cruising grounds, berthing and whether crew will be required. Burton Waters can provide model information, brochures, quotations and guidance on the next appropriate step. Current availability, viewing opportunities and build positions vary, so buyers should confirm these details directly rather than assume every model is immediately available.

Burton Waters’ Majesty service is suitable for experienced owners moving into a larger luxury motor yacht and for buyers entering this part of the market for the first time. It is particularly relevant to people seeking spacious accommodation, refined interiors and flexible social areas, but who also want practical help with selection, purchase and ownership planning.

Some customers may be considering an owner-operated model at the smaller end of the range. Others may need separate crew areas, more guest cabins, increased storage and facilities for extended cruising. Burton Waters can help explain these differences before a buyer focuses on one model. Useful starting points include the yacht’s expected home port, normal guest numbers, journey length, cruising area and whether professional crew will be engaged.

The service may also suit existing Burton Waters customers whose requirements have developed beyond their current vessel. The company has said its Majesty appointment allows it to support clients moving into the larger yacht and superyacht segment while retaining a familiar UK relationship.

Not every model will suit every owner, marina or cruising plan. Berth dimensions, draught, insurance, crewing, training, maintenance and annual running costs need separate consideration. Burton Waters can identify these matters early, while surveyors, insurers, finance providers, marinas and specialist advisers may also need to contribute.

Burton Waters can turn a buyer’s intended use into a practical model brief. Instead of comparing Majesty yachts only by length or appearance, the team can help examine guest capacity, cabin configuration, crew accommodation, privacy, flybridge space, tender storage, galley position and movement between interior and exterior areas.

Cruising plans are equally important. A yacht used mainly for shorter coastal trips may need a different specification from one intended for extended Mediterranean use or longer passages. Buyers should also consider the intended berth, how often the yacht will change location, whether it will be owner-driven or professionally crewed, and the amount of entertaining expected onboard.

Burton Waters can provide model information and brochures for the Yacht Collection and Superyacht Collection, discuss quotations and, where possible, help with viewing arrangements. Availability should be checked for each enquiry, particularly with larger or semi-custom yachts, because production schedules, configuration choices and delivery locations may affect what can be offered.

This guidance helps reduce a broad range to a realistic shortlist. Burton Waters can clarify the practical differences between models before the buyer commits to detailed technical, financial and operational work, lowering the risk of selecting a yacht that is visually appealing but poorly matched to the owner’s actual plans.

The process begins with an enquiry and a detailed discussion of the buyer’s plans. Burton Waters can then identify suitable Majesty models, provide specifications and brochures, and establish whether the enquiry concerns a yacht that is available, incoming or built to order. A viewing may be arranged where an appropriate yacht can be accessed, subject to its location and availability.

After a preferred model is identified, the buyer can request a quotation and review the proposed specification. A built-to-order or semi-custom yacht may involve choices concerning layout, finishes, equipment packages, navigation systems, entertainment features, tenders and other options permitted by the builder.

The contract should clearly record the yacht, agreed specification, payment schedule, estimated build or delivery programme and each party’s responsibilities. Independent legal, tax, registration and financial advice may be appropriate, particularly where the yacht will be company-owned, registered overseas or used across several jurisdictions.

No single completion period applies to every Majesty yacht. Timing may be affected by shipyard capacity, customisation, equipment choices, transport, commissioning, documentation and delivery location. Burton Waters can act as the buyer’s local contact and provide guidance through the agreed stages, but final dates depend on the contract, manufacturer and relevant third parties.

The cost of a Majesty yacht depends primarily on the model, size and whether the vessel is already specified or being built to order. Two yachts of similar length can still have different prices because of their layout, engine package, interior finish, technical systems and optional equipment.

Depending on the model and the choices permitted by the builder, the specification may include selected materials, appliances, navigation equipment, entertainment systems, exterior furniture, water toys, tenders and other upgrades. Changes after the specification has been agreed may increase the price and affect the delivery programme. Burton Waters can provide a model-specific quotation and explain what is included, optional or excluded.

Buyers should also budget for costs outside the yacht’s purchase price. These may include tax, registration, legal advice, insurance, survey or inspection work, delivery, commissioning, berthing, crew, training, fuel, servicing and maintenance. Which costs apply will depend on the owner, cruising area and operating arrangements.

Because the Majesty range covers very different sizes and specifications, there is no single representative price. A written quotation and schedule of inclusions are essential. Buyers should also prepare a separate annual ownership budget before committing, especially where professional crew or complex onboard systems will be required.

Burton Waters can discuss whether an existing boat may be accepted in part exchange against a Majesty yacht. This may help an owner upgrade without first completing a separate private sale. Any proposal will depend on the current boat’s make, model, age, condition, service history, documentation and market demand, and further information or inspection may be needed before terms are confirmed.

Where part exchange is not suitable, Burton Waters also operates a boat and yacht brokerage service. Brokerage can provide another route for selling the existing vessel, although the timing and final sale price cannot be guaranteed or assumed to match the new yacht’s payment schedule.

Finance may be available subject to status, income, lender criteria and the proposed transaction. Burton Waters is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for credit-broking activities and acts as a credit broker, not a lender. It can introduce customers to a limited number of finance providers, while approval, pricing, deposit requirements and affordability decisions remain with the lender. Customers may also obtain alternative quotations elsewhere.

Part exchange and funding should be discussed early so that the purchase structure, deposit timetable and disposal of the existing boat can be considered alongside model availability. Independent financial, legal or tax advice may still be appropriate for a high-value transaction.

Burton Waters supports customers from initial enquiry and model comparison through quotation, specification discussions and the agreed purchase process. As Majesty’s official dealer for Southern UK, it provides a UK-based contact for a yacht range built by Gulf Craft in the United Arab Emirates.

Before handover, the parties should agree arrangements for commissioning, documentation, registration, delivery, familiarisation and any necessary training. The scope depends on the yacht, its operating area and whether professional crew will be used. Burton Waters also has established boating facilities and services, including workshop capabilities at Lincoln, engineering support, mooring-related services and access to RYA training. Buyers should confirm which services are suitable for their particular Majesty model and where they can be delivered, especially for larger superyachts.

After handover, Burton Waters can provide after-sales guidance and help identify the appropriate route for servicing, warranty enquiries, maintenance planning, upgrades and technical support. Some work may need to be undertaken by the manufacturer, an authorised specialist or a provider nearer the yacht’s home port.

Customers should not assume every service is included in the purchase price or available at every Burton Waters location. A clear handover plan should identify key contacts, warranty procedures, service intervals and responsibilities, helping the owner begin operating the yacht with fewer uncertainties.
