The Pear Qatar marina in Doha saw a procession of yacht-lovers for three days last month as the “Majesty Yachts Exclusive Preview” by Gulf Craft Inc. a global manufacturer of luxury yachts and fiberglass boats, ran to a great reception from Qatari customers from the 28th to the 30th of March.The event, which saw the sale of two Majesty Yachts, was Gulf Craft’s second exclusive display in Qatar in as many years. The preview featured the Qatari premiere of a new Majesty 125 - Gulf Craft’s third-largest superyacht model - and a brand new Majesty 105, which has already garnered rave reviews at the recently concluded Dubai International Boat Show 2013. Also on display were other popular Gulf Craft models including the Majesty 63, the Majesty 70 and Majesty 77.

“We were delighted by the fantastic response to our Majesty Yacht range in Qatar. We sold two Majesty Yachts during the event, which is a result of the strong relationship we have with our clientele in Qatar - a country which has a traditional affinity for the sea and a culture of yachting,” said Mohamed Hussain AlShaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft. “In fact, the Qatari market has been making up nearly 20% of our revenues recently and our customers there appreciate the finer aspects of yacht-building. It is always a pleasure to showcase our range in Doha as customers not only appreciate sailing and cruising as a recreational activity, but also have a connoisseur’s eye for well-engineered yachts built to a high finishing standard.

Speaking about the response to the preview and the Qatari market, Erwin Bamps, Chief Operating Officer for Gulf Craft, said: “It was heartening to see the level of interest in our Majesty Yachts range among Qataris, however, it was not a surprise. We are market leaders in Qatar and already have a large number of vessels of all dimensions berthed in Doha’s marinas – and this number increased further during the event with the sale of two Majesty Yachts. Our dealers in this market ensure that Gulf Craft’s Qatari customers get the best in terms of service and technical support. The ‘Majesty Yachts Exclusive Preview’ is our way of being close to our customers here and to show our commitment to the Qatari market.”

Embark on a tour of the Americas or visit 10 legendary destinations in 2014.

Departure. Few words in the English language carry such excitement and promise (especially when spotted at an airport). It means you’re going places - in more ways than one. Now, after selling out all three Around the World by Private Jet tours to date, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts reveals a boarding pass for two new 2014 itineraries that promise a departure from ordinary travel with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Rediscover the Americas takes flight from February 24 to March 13, 2014, and touches down in seven of the most stunning Four Seasons destinations in the Americas: Miami, Nevis, Buenos Aires, Carmelo, Costa Rica, Punta Mita and Beverly Hills.

Around the World is a 23-day itinerary sure to fill a passport with exotic stamps as travellers explore 10 legendary destinations across the globe starting March 14, 2014: from the idyllic islands of Hawaii, Bora Bora and Bali to the vibrant city streets of Sydney, Mumbai, Istanbul and London.

Rediscover the Americas guests may wish to greet the sunrise with a beachfront yoga session at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita one day, and take a horseback ride through the rolling grasslands that surround the lakeside golf course at Four Seasons Resort Carmelo the next.

Around the World travellers might cool off in the pool at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney after climbing the city’s famous Harbour Bridge, unlock the secrets of Balinese cuisine with a cooking class at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan or bathe, feed and ride an elephant in the jungles of northern Thailand at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai. Simply speak to the in-flight concierge or Four Seasons Guest Services Manager and the arrangements will be handled without questions — well, except, “What time would you like to start?”

Tempted to join this group of globetrotters? It’ll be time for departure before you know it. So book a ticket, pack a bag and get on board. Once in a lifetime starts here. For bookings, contact TCS & Starquest Expeditions: 888 215 2728 (North America) or +1 206 753 0048 (worldwide). Or, email Scott Leviton at sleviton@TCSandSQ.com

Gulf Craft returns to Doha with its second exclusive display of Superyachts and yachts for the Qatari market in as many years.

The ‘Majesty Yachts Exclusive Preview’ event will dock at The Pearl Qatar from March 28th to 30th and will witness the Qatari premiere of a new Majesty 125 – Gulf Craft’s third-largest superyacht model, and a brand new Majesty 105 – a revolutionary superyacht model that received high praise for its excellent outdoor entertainment capabilities at the recently concluded Dubai International Boat Show 2013, and at last year’s Dubai edition where the model was launched. The yacht line-up will also feature other popular Gulf Craft models including the Majesty 56, Majesty 63 and the Majesty 70.

“Qatar is a market that is highly boating oriented and a booming one for Gulf Craft. We have delivered a number of yachts and superyachts to Qatar in recent years, a development which has coincided with the number of new marinas that have come online in the country,” says Mohamed Hussain AlShaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft.
“There is a high interest in larger-sized yachts, to almost the same degree as in the UAE. We consider Qatar a home market and following the interest received at the Dubai Boat Show, we were keen to showcase some of our most popular models to the Qataris on their home turf,” he added. “We presented a similar showcase in late 2011 which was very positively met and indicated a very strong interest in what we bring to the market.”

Visitors to the Majesty Yachts Exclusive Preview will be able to tour the superyachts on display from 4pm – 10pm, March 28th-30th, with a special “Ladies Only” viewing arranged for the morning of March 30th from 10am - 3pm.

The water here is not deep and so is therefore ideal for younger children. There are slides, water cannons and other water based toys. Nearby is the Lazy River where you can ride on tubes around long flowing river.
The star attractions are the Boomerango and multi slides complex where you can choose between a series of different flume rides. On one of them you sit on inner-tubes and go down a sharp drop. Coming out the other end you race up an almost vertical wall. Close to the top there is a reverse free fall.
Other attractions include a giant wave pool, a family pool, an exotic village, bar pool and several restaurants.
While you are in the water park you don’t need to worry about your money. You can keep all your stuff safely in a locker.
You may also choose to keep your money with the friendly restaurant owner who will keep your money separately in plastic cups and keep a track of how much you spend there.
I read about Aqua Park while it was still being built the last year year. I had the impression that is was going to be a small place but to my surprise it is built in a huge area which extends to around 50000 sq mts with some amazing fun rides and water attractions which is great to kill the heat of the crazy summer in Doha.
To have a look at some of the pics from Aqua Park Qatar….

There is of course the impressive technology being proposed for the stadiums. It is certainly an ambitious goal of creating a stadium that will be open-air, but keep the on-field temperature a comfortable 27 degrees in a Qatar summer. But the technology that will be necessary for Qatar to win the bid goes way beyond the flashy stadiums. The most important technology is the communications systems that will allow the games to be shared with the world, enable security and public works to operate without interruption and also create a new experience for the thousands that would come to Qatar for the matches.

Tell us your views: do you think technology can help Qatar win the bid? And what technologies are most important in your opinions?
