Al Said is a luxury yacht owned by the Sultan Qaboos of Oman. The yacht was ordered to be made in 2006, by Lürssen.[1] The ship was code named Project Sunflower during its construction. It is currently the world's second highest displacement super-yacht (15,850 tons) after Dilbar, the third most powerful (16,500kW) and fifth longest super-yacht (155m).[2] Al Said was launched by the Lürssen shipyard in September 2007 and at the time of her launch she was the world's second longest yacht. The yacht was completed in the following months and delivered to her owners in 2008.[3]
