The Emirati shipyard Gulf Craft lands at the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show 2025 (ADBSW) with the Oryx range and a world premiere that marks a new step in the brand’s growth: the new 37LX, a model that fits perfectly into the evolution of the lineup and confirms its direction.
It all began last February at the Dubai International Boat Show 2025, when the shipyard unveiled its new generation of boats, consisting of the Oryx LX cross cabin cruisers and the open FX variant. On that occasion, three models—the 32FX, 37FX and 47LX—captured visitors’ attention, showcasing a more modern design, more livable spaces and significantly enhanced versatility.
It is from this path that the new Oryx 37LX was born, completing the family and best expressing its spirit: sporty like the entire range, yet offering superior comfort and extra protection from the elements. The enclosed layout allows to enjoy the boat in any season and in any condition—whether cruising under the midday sun or anchored at sunset—facing hot days or more variable weather without sacrificing the pleasure of navigation.
Designed to be a dynamic day boat, the Oryx 37LX is nonetheless comfortable enough to become an ideal weekender for family trips or short outings at sea. The deck spaces invite socializing, while the cabin impresses with its volume and brightness. Large glass surfaces—from the panoramic windshield to the hull windows and the skylight—flood both the main deck and the lower deck with natural light, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere that goes well beyond what one would expect from a 37-footer.
Below deck, the 37LX combines practicality and comfort: the spaces include a dinette that, generously sized, can quickly transform into a comfortable sleeping area, and there is a second berth further aft, complete with an equipped galley, a bathroom with shower and numerous intelligently distributed storage compartments. The result is a compact but surprisingly livable cabin, ideal for accommodating up to four people overnight.
Every detail of the new Oryx 37LX has been carefully designed to deliver a warm, contemporary atmosphere. On request, the lower deck and cockpit flooring can be finished in high-quality synthetic teak, a solution that not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures excellent grip, great wear resistance and worry-free maintenance.
The seating in the saloon, cockpit and helm station is upholstered with premium materials and enhanced with contrasting stitching, giving the interiors a dynamic character perfectly aligned with the 37LX’s performance-oriented nature.
Under way, the Oryx 37LX combines safety and comfort with excellent seakeeping, an enclosed cockpit, high bulwarks and ergonomic handrails designed to make every outing pleasant and secure. The lightweight yet robust fiberglass hull is paired with a 1,135-liter fuel tank and a 113-liter freshwater capacity, enabling extended trips without compromise. Whether for families seeking relaxation, anglers or water-sports enthusiasts, the Oryx 37 offers the right balance of adrenaline and comfort.
At ADIBS 2025, the Oryx 37LX will certainly not go unnoticed: it is not just a new model, but the manifesto of a new ORYX generation waiting to be discovered. Those looking for an agile, high-quality cruiser with no compromises will find here the perfect balance between functional layout, refined finishes and intelligent use of space. Stepping on board means experiencing a boat that blends performance with the pure pleasure of navigation, winning you over at first glance.
