In brief
Al Said is a luxury yacht owned by the Sultan of Oman. The yacht was ordered to be made in 2006, by Lürssen.
The ship was code named Project Sunflower during its construction. 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.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 15,850 gross tons, Al Said is the 30,288th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 2nd by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
Al Said was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT; within it this ship is the 1,095th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 44 vessels to Lürssen, with a median tonnage of 3,949 GT, delivered between 1956 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 155.0 m overall, Al Said is 89.8 m longer than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 24.0 m and a draft of 5.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9463774 this registry holds 57 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2007 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9463774, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 6×5 + 3×4 + 7×3 + 7×2 = 164 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
