Red Sea Global has launched Yachting Network, a new marina and yacht club operator on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, beginning this winter with AMAALA Marina within the AMAALA destination and Shura Island Marina at The Red Sea, with more marinas and anchorages set to join in 2027.
Under the network, private and charter yachts will be able to cruise between covered locations under a single berthing contract. Its operating standards will follow the Saudi Red Sea Authority Code and environmental practices led by Corallium, AMAALA’s marine life institute, while serving yacht owners, charter guests, captains and crew.
Yachting Network initially includes AMAALA Marina and Shura Island Marina, providing 278 berths across the two locations. AMAALA Marina is based at AMAALA Yacht Club, a centrepiece of the AMAALA destination that officially opened last week, offering 119 berths for vessels measuring up to 120 metres and operating as a full international port of entry. Further along the corridor, Shura Island Marina is Saudi Arabia’s largest island marina, offering 159 berths for vessels up to 120 metres, alongside direct access to Shura Island at The Red Sea destination.
John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global, said: “The launch of Yachting Network marks an important milestone in establishing the Red Sea as a destination for the international yachting community. It allows us to offer yacht owners and charter guests a connected experience across the coast, and for captains and crew, it means greater simplicity on the ground, with berthing and marine services coordinated through a single network. The aim is to make cruising between destinations as seamless as possible, while delivering the level of service expected.”
