Doha: Among the spectacular displays at the inaugural Qatar Boat Show 2024 at Old Doha Port, one vessel stands out as a testament to the GCC's growing prominence in luxury yacht construction. 

The 50-metre custom wooden yacht Afra represents a masterful fusion of traditional Arabian maritime heritage and cutting-edge design innovation.

Named after the owner's sister, who personally crafted its interior design, Afra is part of an exclusive fleet, with only four such vessels existing worldwide. 

Built entirely in the Emirates with a focus on GCC sensibilities, this 9 million USD masterpiece showcases the region's capability to compete with traditional European yacht builders.
