Developed with Dutch design house Phathom Studio, the latest Nomad combines long-range cruising capability, refined interiors and expansive onboard living.
Gulf Craft has introduced the new 2027 Nomad 70, marking another significant step in the evolution of its adventure-focused Nomad range. Fresh from the construction shed and now on the water at Gulf Craft’s UAE shipyard in Umm Al Quwain, the new model brings together modern design, long-range capability and an impressive sense of space for owners seeking greater freedom at sea.
Building on the refreshed design direction introduced with the Nomad 101, the Nomad 70 features a newly developed exterior profile and reimagined interiors while preserving the robust, practical character that has defined the brand.
Designed for owners who want to travel further, remain at sea for longer periods and experience the comfort of a true home on the water, the yacht represents a carefully considered balance between adventure and luxury.
A New Expression of Modern Adventure
The Nomad 70 has been developed in collaboration with award-winning Dutch design company Phathom Studio, bringing a distinctly contemporary perspective to the yacht’s interior.
At the heart of the design is Phathom Studio’s “Soft Minimalism” philosophy, an approach that combines understated sophistication with natural textures, warm materials and a calm architectural atmosphere.
Rather than relying on excessive decoration, the interior focuses on proportion, light and functionality. The result is an environment created to feel relaxed and welcoming during both short escapes and extended voyages.
Every area has been designed around the needs of the modern adventurer, giving owners and guests the ability to enjoy comfortable living without sacrificing the practical requirements of serious cruising.
A Main Deck Designed Around Connection
The main deck places social living at the centre of the onboard experience.
Open spaces create a natural flow between different areas of the yacht, allowing guests to gather, relax and enjoy uninterrupted views of their surroundings. The design encourages connection while maintaining a strong sense of privacy whenever required.
One of the defining features of the Nomad 70 is its full-beam owner’s suite positioned on the main deck.
Offering panoramic 270-degree views, the suite creates an exceptional private retreat where owners can remain closely connected to the ocean while enjoying the comfort and privacy normally associated with significantly larger yachts.
This combination of expansive visibility, generous proportions and intelligent placement strengthens the Nomad 70’s appeal as a yacht designed not simply for travelling, but for genuinely living aboard.
Remarkable Space Within a 70-Foot Platform
The new Nomad 70 delivers an impressive amount of accommodation and functionality within its dimensions.
Four en suite guest cabins provide comfortable private accommodation, while the upper deck features a spacious salon that can adapt to different styles of cruising and entertaining.
Dedicated crew facilities have also been carefully integrated into the design. Two crew cabins and a separate professional-grade crew galley allow the yacht to operate efficiently during longer journeys without disrupting guest spaces.
Importantly, these features have been incorporated without compromising technical areas or operational functionality.
The result is a yacht that offers the practicality required for serious cruising while delivering the space, comfort and flexibility owners increasingly expect from larger luxury yachts.
Engineered to Go Further
While design and comfort play a major role in the Nomad 70 experience, its underlying purpose remains firmly connected to exploration.
The yacht has been engineered to deliver strong performance, dependable seaworthiness and confident long-distance cruising.
For Gulf Craft, the Nomad philosophy has always been about providing owners with the ability to explore diverse destinations and climates without sacrificing comfort. The new Nomad 70 strengthens that philosophy by combining robust construction and intelligent engineering with a more refined and contemporary onboard environment.
Its capabilities are complemented by flexible deck spaces, thoughtful storage, shaded areas and enclosed environments suited to changing weather conditions and cruising requirements.
Whether travelling through warm coastal waters or undertaking extended passages, the yacht has been created to offer stability, confidence and ease of operation.
A Home Away From Home
The Nomad range occupies a distinctive position within Gulf Craft Group’s portfolio.
Spanning models from 65 feet to 101 feet, the brand focuses on seaworthy yachts and superyachts designed for extended periods of comfortable living on board.
Family cruising remains central to the Nomad identity, with layouts designed to maximise usable space while maintaining privacy, functionality and efficient movement throughout the yacht.
Each model is developed to accommodate different climates and cruising styles, giving owners the flexibility to explore new destinations while enjoying the familiarity and comfort of a thoughtfully designed living environment.
The philosophy is simple: owners should be able to travel further without feeling that they are leaving home behind.
The Next Chapter for Nomad
With the launch of the 2027 Nomad 70, Gulf Craft continues to refine its interpretation of modern adventure yachting.
The collaboration with Phathom Studio introduces a sophisticated new visual language, while the yacht’s engineering, accommodation and practical features remain firmly connected to the values that have built the Nomad name.
Spacious yet capable, luxurious yet purposeful, the Nomad 70 has been created for owners who see yachting as more than a weekend escape.
It is designed for those who want the freedom to explore unfamiliar waters, remain aboard for extended periods and experience life at sea with confidence, independence and comfort.
For Nomad, the destination is only part of the story. The real luxury lies in having the freedom to keep going.
