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.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.
Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
