Aman at Sea Completes Successful Float Out of Amangati

Aman at Sea Completes Successful Float Out of Amangati
Jackie Sheckler Finch

Aman at Sea’s inaugural yacht reaches a major construction milestone ahead of its maiden voyage in May 2027.

Aman at Sea today announces the successful Float Out of Amangati, its inaugural ocean-going yacht, at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy.

Following centuries of Italian shipbuilding tradition, the ceremony marks the completion of the exterior build and the transition of Amangati from dry dock to sea.

“Today is a defining moment in the story of Aman at Sea,” Jonathan Wilson, President and CEO of Aman at Sea, said in a press release.

“To see Amangati painted, afloat and taking shape for the first time is to see years of design, craftsmanship and vision meeting the water together,” Wilson said.

The Float Out is one of the most significant milestones in the construction of an ocean-going vessel, signaling that the hull is complete, sealed, painted and watertight.

Amangati now moves to the outfitting quay in Genoa, where the finishing of the interiors will unfold in the months ahead – including the yacht’s 47 expansive suites, the Aman Spa (the largest in luxury yachting), four signature restaurants, Selora lounge and the Marina – ahead of sea trials, delivery and preparation for guests.

“We are grateful to the T. Mariotti shipyard, Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, and to every hand that has brought Amangati to this milestone,” Wilson said. “Every step from here brings us closer to welcoming our first guests aboard next May.”

Amangati will depart Palma de Mallorca on a six-night voyage bound for Nice on May 7, 2027, opening its inaugural Mediterranean season with voyages of between five and eight nights across the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean seas.

Reservations for the maiden season, along with its newly added Autumn 2027 Caribbean voyages are now open for reservations.

                                             About Aman at Sea

Aman at Sea brings the Aman philosophy to the world’s oceans, extending more than three decades of tranquil sanctuary-making beyond land for the first time.

Founded on the same defining qualities that have shaped Aman since 1988 — privacy, peace, enduring design and unparalleled service — Aman at Sea carries the brand’s pathfinder spirit from shore to sea, conceived as a sanctuary of serenity and space where each voyage restores balance and inspires discovery.

The inaugural yacht, Amangati, meaning “peaceful motion” in Sanskrit, embarks on its maiden voyage on May 7, 2027, departing Palma de Mallorca for Nice.

Designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and currently under construction at T. Mariotti S.p.A. in Genoa, Italy, the 180-metre luxury motor yacht welcomes just 94 guests across 47 expansive ocean-facing suites, each with a private terrace, full-height windows and uninterrupted sea views.

Interiors are shaped by natural materials including eucalyptus and sen woods, travertine and hand-carved glasswork, reflecting Aman’s signature pared-back aesthetic reimagined at sea.

Across nine decks, Amangati features four signature restaurants, the Aman Spa, the largest in luxury yachting, Selora and The Marina with direct sea access, and a dedicated Suite Host for every suite, embodying Aman’s intuitive and discreet approach to service.

Amangati’s inaugural Mediterranean season comprises voyages of between five and eight nights across the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean seas, designed for deeper immersion through longer stays, late departures and limited days at sea.

Itineraries reveal lesser-told stories of picturesque coastlines and intimate harbors, historic ports and remote anchorages often beyond the reach of larger vessels.

Select voyages aligning to cultural moments provide exclusive access to Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix, among others. Aman at Sea is a joint venture between Aman and Cruise Saudi.

                                                        About Aman

Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home.

The first, Amanpuri (place of peace), in Phuket, Thailand, introduced theconcept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 36 exquisitely serene hotels, resorts and branded residences, ranging from the urban to the remote, in 21 destinations across the globe.

Aman has a robust pipeline of future projects under construction including Aman at Sea, the brand’s first ultra-luxury yacht.

 Reservations are now open for the inaugural Mediterranean season and newly announced Caribbean itineraries.
