Giga Yacht Large Yacht Notable Fleet Record

Last reviewed: June 1, 2026

Superyacht Guide Awards are editorial ratings based on available information and review criteria.

Al Said is a major Omani royal yacht and one of the largest yachts delivered by Lürssen. Launched in 2008, she measures about 155 metres and is widely reported at around 15,850 GT. The yacht is notable for her scale, formal guest capacity and reported concert-hall capability. She belongs in the Superyacht Guide fleet as a historically important royal yacht and as one of the largest private or state-associated yachts by both length and volume. Because many royal-yacht details remain private, Al Said should be presented as an editorial intelligence record based on reliable public particulars rather than as a fully disclosed technical profile.

Reported owner · 2020
