Exterior Design
Crafted with the timeless elegance of a classic cruise liner, Al Said's exterior design is by the renowned naval architect Espen Oeino. The yacht's sleek lines and balanced proportions exude a sense of majesty and grandeur.
Spanning six impressive decks, Al Said's silhouette is both commanding and graceful upon the water. Her steel hull, married with an aluminum superstructure, provides a robust framework for the myriad of features and amenities housed within. The vessel's expansive decks are thoughtfully laid out to ensure privacy and comfort, offering guests a variety of open-air lounges and secluded nooks, perfect for enjoying the ocean's vistas or engaging in social festivities. A prominent feature of Al Said's exterior is the helipad, which ensures not just the convenience of travel but also underscores the yacht's ability to cater to the highest standards of luxury and accessibility.
Interior Design
The palatial interiors showcase exquisite Omani details, with much of the décor crafted by skilled Omani artisans.
At the heart of Al Said's interior splendor is the concert hall, a remarkable space capable of hosting a 50-strong orchestra. This extraordinary feature not only exemplifies the yacht's commitment to cultural enrichment but also provides a unique venue for entertainment that is unmatched by any other vessel afloat.
Each of the yacht's six decks is accessible via an elevator, ensuring full accessibility and seamless flow throughout the vessel. Guests can indulge in cinematic experiences in the 50-seater cinema, or unwind in the numerous lounges that dot the yacht, each designed with meticulous attention to detail and the finest materials.
