Aman has commenced the construction of its luxury motor yacht, Aman at Sea. A traditional steel-cutting ceremony was held at the T.Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy. A joint venture with Cruise Saudi, Aman at Sea is expected to launch in 2027.
Aman is directing the entire development process of the project. T.Mariotti, constructors of ultra-luxury custom cruise and expedition vessels and yachts in Italy since 1928, has been appointed to deliver the vessel and will provide the highest standard of design, mirroring the level of detail and care experienced across Aman’s hotels.
Vlad Doronin, chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said “The steel-cutting signifies a key milestone in the development of Aman at Sea and my strategic evolution of the brand, as we continue to diversify our geographical portfolio on land and at sea to offer exceptional travel experiences which deliver Aman’s core values of privacy, peace, generosity of space and unparalleled service. We are partnering with T.Mariotti to bring to life our pioneering vision for Aman at Sea, providing a whole new category in on the water exploration.”
At 600 feet, the vessel will be the first dual fuel-powered new-build, using marine diesel oil and methanol to run, showcasing Aman Group’s commitment to sustainability. Aman at Sea will have just 50 spacious luxury suites, each with a private balcony. The vessel will be home to an array of dining options, a club and lounge, a spacious Aman Spa complete with a Japanese garden and two helipads, plus an expansive Beach Club, which will offer guests direct access to the water at the stern of the yacht.
The keel-laying is expected to take place this summer and the vessel’s official name will be announced in due course.
