Aman At Sea And Cruise Saudi Building First Aman At Sea 600-Foot Yacht

Known for the tranquil escapes offered by its luxurious sanctuaries, Aman will be welcoming guests on board the Aman at Sea 50-suite motor yacht, expected to begin itineraries in 2027.

Upon signing a joint venture contract with Cruise Saudi's Managing Director, Mr Fawaz Farooqui, and a ship building contract with Italian shipbuilder T. Mariotti S.p.A at the end of 2023, the Aman luxury motor yacht build is designed to deliver the ultimate luxury cruise experience.

Aman Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin commented, "With 35 hotels, resorts, and branded residences across 20 destinations, Aman at Sea marks a new direction for the brand and the chance to bring Aman's exceptional design, which is integral to the brand's ethos, into an entirely new setting." Additional remarks addressed the significance of the contract as an exciting milestone in Aman's partnership with T. Mariotti.

Financing granted by a pool led by Intesa Sanpaolo and coordinated by Nanni Grazzini has been arranged. A sponsor of the Made in Italy campaign and an industrial powerhouse in business since 1928, Mariotti is a strong contributor to the growth of the city of Genoa, a center of maritime business.

Jonathon Wilson has been selected to lead the development and implementation of the yacht with the title of Chief Executive Officer of Aman at Sea. Wilson is expected to work closely with Doronin to ensure appropriate brand connection.

The yacht will measure 600 feet (183 meters) and will be the first dual fuel powered new build for Mariotti, employing marine diesel oil and methanol propulsion systems. The systems will emphasize Aman's commitment to sustainability while enhancing the on-board experience for guests.

The yacht will be fitted with 50 spacious luxury suites graced with private balconies. Several dining options will be available to guests, including an informal all-day restaurant, international fine dining options, and a relaxed club and lounge. The Aman Spa will reflect the serenity and space of their resorts. An expansive beach club, two helipads, and a Japanese garden continue to emphasize the brand's Zen-inspired properties on board.

Superyacht master designer SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design , luxury yacht outfitter De Wave Group , and electrotech expert Ortec Santamaria will contribute respective details to the Aman at Sea yacht.

In July, 2024, the Aman at Sea ceremonial keel laying was held at the T. Mariotti San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy shipyard. Wilson was joined by Marco Ghiglione, CEO of T. Mariotti, to watch the 200-ton steel block as it was lowered into place. As per tradition, newly minted coins were placed on the steel, ensuring good luck for the vessel's future.

Ghiglione announced, "Laying the keel of the world's most luxurious yacht brings to life the ambitions design our team has produced with their efforts so far."

Many Aman properties are nestled close to beautiful water, boasting Aman watercraft appropriate to the environment. None, however posh, quite approach the level of space and luxury planned for Aman at Sea.
