What Is Aman at Sea?

Aman at Sea is the luxury yacht division of the Aman Group, the global hospitality brand founded in 1988 by Indonesian hotelier Adrian Zecha and acquired in 2014 by Vladislav Doronin for $358 million. Operating under the entity Positive Ocean OpCo Ltd. (Aman at Sea trades under license from The Aman Group S.A.R.L.), the maritime business launches in Spring 2027 with the inaugural luxury motor yacht Amangati.

Designed by SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design in the Netherlands and constructed at T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, Amangati welcomes just 94 guests across 47 expansive suites - alongside 10 additional Host Suites. With a 2:1 crew-to-guest ratio and an inclusion model that mirrors Aman's land-based resorts rather than a traditional all-inclusive cruise, Amangati functions as a floating Aman sanctuary rather than a cruise ship.

The Aman maritime heritage: Aman has operated Amandira, a 52-metre handcrafted Phinisi sailing vessel, since 2015 in Indonesia's Flores Sea. Aman at Sea formalizes the brand's transition from intimate Indonesian sailings to global ocean voyages - a strategic evolution announced in 2023 as a joint venture with Cruise Saudi, the cruise development arm of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

Amangati: Yacht Specifications

Amangati is positioned as one of the smallest commercial yachts in the hotel-branded luxury segment by guest count. Built to exceed environmental standards, the vessel operates on dual fuel - marine diesel oil and methanol - with the latter reducing carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% compared with conventional marine fuels.

Suite Categories Aboard Amangati

Every suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, a private terrace, marble-appointed bathrooms, and residential-style proportions. Bespoke furnishings, natural materials, and Aman's signature minimalist design carry the brand's land-based identity to the open sea.

Host Suites on Deck 4 are bookable for nannies, personal staff, or extended travel parties.

The inclusion model is more generous than a standard yacht but more selective than an all-inclusive cruise: all meals at Alira, soft drinks and beer, Wi-Fi, daily laundry, watersports, and gratuities are included; wines and spirits, speciality dining at Akari, Hiori, and Aman Grill, spa treatments, and shore excursions are charged separately.

Amangati is constructed at T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, to international maritime safety standards. The yacht is registered in Malta. Crew training, medical staffing, and onboard safety protocols meet or exceed industry standards for ultra-luxury vessels. The Captain has full authority to adjust itineraries for weather or safety considerations; alternative ports are substituted when needed, and the yacht's size allows flexibility larger ships cannot offer.

Amangati is T. Mariotti's first dual-fuel powered vessel - capable of running on both marine diesel oil and methanol. Methanol reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% compared with conventional marine fuels. Hybrid engines and long-life battery storage further reduce environmental impact, allowing the yacht to enter less-trafficked harbors and shallow anchorages traditional cruise ships cannot reach.

Exterior and interior design is by SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design, a Netherlands-based studio specializing in superyachts. Construction is at T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy. The yacht operates under Positive Ocean OpCo Ltd., trading as Aman at Sea under license from The Aman Group S.A.R.L.
