Saudi Tourism Authority Showcases Saudi Red Sea Year-Round Yachting Destinations at Monaco Yacht Show 2026

The Saudi Tourism Authority (STA), participating under its Saudi Red Sea brand, is showcasing Saudi’s Red Sea coastline at Monaco Yacht Show 2026, highlighting year-round yachting destinations combining extensive cruising waters, dedicated yacht infrastructure, marine services and experiences extending well beyond the water.

Following the first day of the show, STA is engaging with yacht owners, charterers, brokers and operators to highlight the Saudi Red Sea as a natural extension of the Mediterranean cruising season.

With more than 1,800km of coastline, over 90 islands and warm waters throughout the year, the Saudi Red Sea offers opportunities for cruising, island exploration, diving and snorkeling, alongside access to distinctive coastal destinations and marine environments.

The proposition is supported by an expanding network of yacht clubs and marinas, including Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, Shura Marina and AMAALA Yacht Club. Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina offers 94 berths for yachts up to 120 metres and has received Five Gold Anchor accreditation, while the newly launched Yachting Network connects AMAALA and Shura through a single operating network. From winter 2026, private and charter yachts will be able to access 278 berths across the two marinas under a single berthing contract, with both facilities accommodating yachts of up to 120 metres.

The wider ecosystem is designed around the practical needs of visiting yachts, with marine services supporting maintenance, refit and technical requirements, alongside licensing, permits and visitor procedures. This is complemented by hospitality and leisure experiences for owners, guests and crew, including luxury resorts, dining, wellness, golf and water-based activities.

Looking ahead, the Red Sea Yacht Show will take place at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina from 14–17 October 2027, bringing together yacht owners, builders, brokers, designers and luxury brands. The event will provide another opportunity for the international yachting community to experience the Saudi Red Sea first-hand.

Beyond the Saudi Red Sea, yacht itineraries can connect with Saudi’s wider cultural and heritage offering, including AlUla, Diriyah, Riyadh, and Historic Jeddah, which together form part of Saudi’s eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The country’s luxury hospitality proposition has also been recognised through the 2026 MICHELIN Key selection, which includes 17 hotels across Saudi, giving visitors further opportunities to extend their stay on land.

Through its participation at Monaco Yacht Show, STA is showcasing Saudi Red Sea diverse destinations where yacht owners and operators can extend their cruising season, explore a new coastline, access dedicated yachting infrastructure and connect time on the water with Saudi’s luxury, cultural and lifestyle experiences.
