Delivered in 1982, Al Mabrukah is a 103.85m motor yacht built by Italian shipyard Picchiotti. Her naval architecture and exterior design comes from the drawing boards of Picchiotti.
Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and superstructure she features a 16.2m beam and a 5m draft. The yacht has an internal volume of 4,633 GT (Gross Tonnes). The design also incorporates a heli-pad.
The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards.
Exterior Design
Originally built in 1982 by Italian shipyard Picchiotti, Al Mabrukah is a 103.6-meter (340-foot) yacht with a commanding presence. She now carries the understated grey livery of the Royal Navy of Oman, her luxurious exterior fittings removed as she serves a new role as a naval training vessel. Despite this stripped-back appearance, her lines still reflect her origin as a pleasure yacht built for Sultan Qaboos bin Said. The yacht’s silhouette is that of a traditional full-displacement superyacht of the early 1980s, with expansive open decks and a generous beam suited for large-scale entertaining or, now, training operations.
During her time in private and charter service under the name Loaloat Al-Behar - translated as "Pearl of the Seas" - the yacht featured a helipad, dedicated storage for tenders and support craft, and multiple open-air areas that would have accommodated both guests and practical maritime operations. Whether any of these amenities remain in her current configuration is unclear, but the vessel retains the fundamental spatial footprint and structure that once supported VIP travel, day charters, and high-traffic events.
Interior Design
The original interior of the yacht was created by Omani design studio Oman Rys, drawing inspiration from the opulence of regional royal style in the early 1980s. The decor was in keeping with other high-profile projects of the time, including the interior of Oman’s Royal Flight Boeing 747-SP, reflecting a preference for ornate detailing and traditional materials. This styling was retained during an extensive refit in 2009, which modernized some aspects while preserving the overall aesthetic. At that stage, the interior was considered luxurious but already dated when compared to contemporary superyacht interiors.
Photos and promotional footage from her chartering years reveal a highly decorative space tailored more toward comfort and formality than minimalism or cutting-edge design. Given her current role as a training ship, it is unknown whether any of the original interior layout or finish remains intact, or if it has been refitted again for institutional or functional use.
Accommodation
Al Mabrukah could accommodate up to 28 overnight guests across 14 guest cabins. These were supported by facilities for a crew of 80, allowing for a high level of service and operation during both private use and commercial charter. For day excursions, the yacht could host as many as 180 passengers, reflecting the vast internal volume of the hull and its capacity for flexible guest arrangements.
Performance & Capabilities
Powered by twin diesel Detroit Diesel (TA 420-6) 4,800hp engines, motor yacht Al Mabrukah is capable of reaching a top speed of 18 knots, and comfortably cruises at 16 knots.
