The 70-foot Nomad 70, Gulf Craft's new long-range cruiser, finally entered the water. Launched in front of the brand's construction site in the United Arab Emirates, the model represents a further step forward for the Nomad range, extending from 65 to 101 feet. Designed for shipowners looking for a balance between living spaces, ability to navigate and comfort, the Nomad 70 is designed for long-lasting cruises, in which the quality of life on board is crucial. The boat was developed with Phathom Studio, a Dutch design studio, to offer a unique combination of functionality and comfort.
Design and philosophy of Soft Minimalism
The Nomad 70 project follows the philosophy of the “Soft Minimalism”, which favours natural materials, warm shades and an essential architectural approach. The goal is to create contemporary environments but not flaunted, where the quality of life on board is priority than aesthetics. The design focuses on a distribution of spaces that favours continuity between interior and exterior, with particular attention to the daily life of guests.
The full-beam shipowning suite on the main deck offers a panoramic view of 270 degrees, ensuring privacy and comfort.
The Nomad 70 offers four guest cabins with private bathroom, including a full-beam shipowning suite on the main deck. This room, with a panoramic view of 270 degrees, is designed to ensure privacy and comfort. To complete the configuration, a large lounge on the upper deck, two cabins dedicated to the crew and a professional kitchen for the crew. The distribution of the rooms is designed to make the most of the available volumes, keeping a clear distinction between spaces for guests and those necessary for the management of the yacht.
Robustness, autonomy and navigation ability
The Nomad 70 aims to combine performance, sea tightness and robustness with a particularly large space availability for its length. The goal is to offer a housing dimension that is normally associated with top-class yachts, but in a more accessible format. The model is designed for cruises in different climatic conditions, with a balance between stability, ability to face the sea and structural robustness.
Nomad philosophy is based on the possibility of living on board for prolonged periods, maintaining living conditions similar to those of a real home.
The combination of autonomy, navigation ability, robustness and comfort defines a model for those who interpret the yacht not only as a means to reach a destination, but as a real platform to explore and experience the sea. The Nomad 70 is one step from the final delivery to its owner, who can enjoy this jewel of design and technology.
