Gulf Craft sells its first Oryx 46 Fly-Bridge Luxury Yacht with IPS600

The luxury Sports Yacht is now available with revolutionary Volvo Penta IPS600 system.

Dubai, UAE, 08 February, 2008: Gulf Craft Inc, one of the world’s leading boat and yacht manufacturers, has today announced the first sale of its innovative Oryx 46 fly-bridge luxury sports yacht featuring the performance enhancing Volvo Penta IPS600 system into Cyprus. The sale of the yacht was brokered by Nautico Yachting Ltd, the official Oryx dealer in Cyprus.

“With its outstanding value-for-money orientation, the Oryx 46 fly continues to generate excellent sales volumes even during the present economic climate and with its distinct design features and excellent on-water performance it has succeeded in capturing a niche market and strong following among sport yacht enthusiasts since the range was first launched,” said Erwin Bamps, Executive Manager, Gulf Craft.

The Oryx 46 fly-bridge offers ample accommodation with its 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms lay-out, a large seating and separate dining area with a convenient galley; its sporty and contemporary exterior styling is complemented with its equally young yet luxurious interior finishing, with an eye for detail, optimum space usage and functionality.

Recently Gulf Craft decided to optimise the Oryx 46 fly-bridge with the revolutionary Volvo Penta IPS system, offering unmatched ease of use through enhanced electronic steering of the system’s innovative drive system and lower fuel consumption for the same performance.

The Oryx range of sports yachts and cruisers was launched in 2004 and has ever since gained considerable industry recognition in the Middle East for its unique product range catering for the young customers. Gulf Craft originally launched the open sport cruisers Oryx 36 and Oryx 40 in 2004 before creating the larger sized fly-bridge yachts Oryx 40 Fly and Oryx 46 Fly in 2007 offering customers a choice of luxury motor yachts with the same signature orange and sporty lines.

Nautico Yachting Ltd’s sales veteran, Adonis Michaelides has sold the Oryx 46 fly-bridge at the beginning of 2009. “My client has been looking for close to a year to find the right boat for his particular requirements” said Adonis Michaelides of Nautico Yachting Ltd. “It was wonderful to find this caliber of luxury sports yacht in Cyprus. It fits his needs perfectly.”
