Shabab Oman II

A Sailing Ambassador of Peace and Friendship

Since 1979, the naval ship Shabab Oman has carried the Sultanate of Oman’s message of peace, friendship and cultural exchange across the world’s seas. In 2014, Shabab Oman II took over this mission from her predecessor. This impressive ship is much more than a symbol of maritime tradition — she is an ambassador under sail and a proud emblem of 400 years of maritime connection.

With her graceful lines, three imposing masts and 34 sails, Shabab Oman II is one of the longest sailing ships of the clipper class. Her V-shaped hull and 2,630 m² of sail area allow her to reach speeds of up to 17 knots.

But the ship is also a place for development. Every year, dozens of young people from Oman are trained on board. They learn traditional seamanship, navigation and leadership, with teamwork and personal growth at the core. The ship can accommodate 54 crew members and 36 trainees.
