SilverCat is sharpening its focus on Kuwait with the appointment of Sultan Al Salem & Sons as its exclusive dealer in the country.
The move gives the UAE-built catamaran brand a more established local foothold in a market where boating is less a weekend novelty than a serious coastal culture.
For Kuwaiti owners who use their boats often, particularly for fishing and family cruising, the partnership puts SilverCat’s wide-beam platforms closer to the buyers they were designed to serve.
At a glance
- SilverCat has appointed Sultan Al Salem & Sons as its exclusive dealer in Kuwait.
- The brand’s catamaran designs are built around broad deck space, hull stability and confident Gulf cruising.
- The agreement was signed at the SilverCat shipyard in the UAE, strengthening the brand’s regional dealer network.
A Kuwait partner with deep marine roots
The dealership agreement was formalised during an official ceremony at the SilverCat shipyard in the UAE.
Abdullah Al Salem, Director and Owner of Sultan Al Salem & Sons, travelled from Kuwait for the signing alongside Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft, and Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft.
Sultan Al Salem & Sons brings a long-established position in Kuwait’s marine sector, including its known association with Yamaha marine engines and personal watercraft.
That local credibility matters in Kuwait, where buyers tend to be experienced, technically aware and attentive to how a boat performs in real Gulf conditions.
Why SilverCat suits Kuwait’s boating style
SilverCat’s appeal in Kuwait is rooted in the practical advantages of the catamaran format.
The wide beam creates generous deck areas, which is especially useful for owners who spend long hours onboard with family, fishing gear or guests.
Catamaran hull stability is another central part of the proposition, bringing a settled feel on the water and helping make regular use less fatiguing.
The brand’s boats are positioned for high-frequency use rather than occasional display, which aligns neatly with the demands of Gulf boaters who want their vessels to work hard.
Sports fishing and family cruising sit at the centre of that use case, two activities that reward space, stability and straightforward onboard movement.
Gulf Craft’s Kuwait ambitions
Mohammed Hussein Alshaali described Kuwait as a vital market for Gulf Craft, pointing to local owners’ understanding of the sea and appreciation for reliable, high-performance vessels.
He also framed Sultan Al Salem & Sons as a natural fit for SilverCat, citing the company’s legacy in Kuwait’s marine industry.
Abdullah Al Salem said the SilverCat lineup is well aligned with local demand and highlighted the opportunity to support the brand’s growth in Kuwait.
For SilverCat, the appointment is not just about adding a dealer name to the map.
It places the brand in the hands of a company with established relationships, local product knowledge and a customer base already familiar with marine ownership.
What Kuwaiti boaters can expect
The partnership is set to improve access to SilverCat models in Kuwait while adding locally grounded sales support for prospective owners.
That should be particularly relevant for buyers comparing boats for regular fishing trips, coastal cruising and family use across Gulf waters.
With Sultan Al Salem & Sons now representing SilverCat exclusively in Kuwait, the brand has a clearer route into one of the region’s most informed boating communities.
For a catamaran builder focused on usable space and confident performance, that local connection could prove as important as the boats themselves.
