The partnership strengthens SilverCat’s presence in one of the Gulf’s most established marine markets, combining advanced catamaran design with trusted local expertise.
Umm Al Quwain, UAE, 24 June 2026: SilverCat has officially appointed Sultan Al Salem & Sons as its exclusive dealer in Kuwait, marking a significant step in the brand’s regional expansion and reinforcing its presence in one of the Arabian Gulf’s most established marine markets.
The dealership agreement was signed during an official ceremony at the SilverCat shipyard in the UAE. Mr. Abdullah Al Salem, Director and Owner of Sultan Al Salem & Sons, travelled from Kuwait to attend the signing alongside Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, and Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft.
The appointment represents an important new chapter for SilverCat in Kuwait, a market with a strong boating culture and a deep appreciation for reliable, high-performance vessels. Through this partnership, SilverCat aims to bring its advanced catamaran platforms closer to Kuwaiti boaters, supported by the trusted reputation and local expertise of Sultan Al Salem & Sons.
Sultan Al Salem & Sons has long been recognised as a respected name in Kuwait’s marine industry. The company’s established association with Yamaha marine engines and personal watercraft has given it a strong foundation in serving the country’s boating and recreational communities. Its deep understanding of local customer needs makes it a natural partner for SilverCat as the brand continues to grow across the Gulf.
SilverCat’s catamaran range is particularly well suited to the Kuwaiti market. Built with a wide beam and advanced twin-hull design, the vessels offer generous deck space, strong hull stability, fuel-efficient performance, and a smooth on-water experience. These features make the lineup ideal for sports fishing, family cruising, and frequent use across Gulf waters.
“Kuwait has always been a vital market for Gulf Craft. Kuwaiti boat owners possess a deep-rooted understanding of the sea and a clear appreciation for reliable, high-performance vessels built for authentic use. Sultan Al Salem & Sons is a highly respected name with a legacy in the marine sector, making them the ideal partner to represent SilverCat and elevate our presence in Kuwait,” commented Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft.
Mr. Abdullah Al Salem, Director and Owner of Sultan Al Salem & Sons, added: “We are proud to represent SilverCat in Kuwait and to partner with Gulf Craft, a regional pioneer with an exceptional reputation and a profound understanding of Gulf boating. SilverCat’s lineup is perfectly aligned with the desires of our local market, and we look forward to driving the brand’s growth and supporting its customers in Kuwait.”
With the new partnership officially underway, SilverCat and Sultan Al Salem & Sons are positioned to deliver an enhanced level of sales support, technical knowledge, and marine expertise to Kuwaiti customers. The collaboration brings together SilverCat’s innovative catamaran designs and Sultan Al Salem & Sons’ long-standing local legacy, creating a strong platform for future growth.
For boaters in Kuwait, the appointment means greater access to SilverCat’s high-performance vessels, designed for the practical demands of Gulf cruising, fishing, and family leisure. It also ensures that customers will benefit from trusted local guidance, product knowledge, and after-sales support.
As part of the Gulf Craft Group portfolio, SilverCat draws on more than 40 years of boat-building expertise. The brand is known for combining innovative twin-hull engineering with practical layouts, fuel-efficient performance, and versatile designs ranging from open-console sports fishing boats to family-friendly vessels.
This appointment reflects SilverCat’s wider ambition to expand its footprint across the region by working with partners who understand the culture, expectations, and needs of Gulf boaters. In Kuwait, that vision now moves forward with Sultan Al Salem & Sons, a company with more than five decades of experience in the marine and recreational market.
Together, SilverCat and Sultan Al Salem & Sons are set to offer Kuwaiti enthusiasts a stronger connection to world-class catamaran craftsmanship, regional marine heritage, and a boating experience built around performance, comfort, and trust.
