Riyadh:Red Sea Global announced the launch of the "Yacht Network," a new operator designed to link marinas and yacht clubs along Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. This initiative aims to unify the company's marine services under a single management platform, offering a streamlined experience for yacht owners, charter guests, captains, and crews exploring the Red Sea.
According to Saudi Press Agency, starting in winter 2026, both private and charter yachts will be able to traverse a marine corridor from AMAALA to Shura Island at The Red Sea destination, under a unified berthing agreement. This will provide access to 278 berths spanning two marinas.
AMAALA Marina, part of the AMAALA Yacht Club, will offer 119 berths, while Shura Island Marina will provide 159 berths, accommodating yachts up to 120 meters long. Additional marinas and anchorage areas are expected to join the network by 2027.
Red Sea Global Group CEO John Pagano stated that the Yacht Network's launch is a significant milestone in strengthening the Red Sea's appeal as a destination for the international yachting community. The network will facilitate a connected experience along the coastline and simplify operations for captains and crews by coordinating berthing and marine services through a single platform.
Pagano highlighted the company's goal of ensuring seamless sailing between destinations, aiming to meet the expectations of the global yachting community. AMAALA Yacht Club, located approximately 2,400 kilometers from Monaco via the Suez Canal, serves as an entry point to the Red Sea and connects visitors with AMAALA, an ultra-luxury wellness destination under development by Red Sea Global.
Shura Island Marina, the largest island-based marina in Saudi Arabia, will serve as the network's second hub, offering direct access to Shura Island, the vibrant center of The Red Sea destination.
The Yacht Network's operations align with the regulatory code of the Saudi Red Sea Authority and the environmental stewardship initiatives led by the Corallium - Marine Life Institute at AMAALA. Red Sea Global is also affiliated with several international marine industry associations, supporting high standards of service and operational excellence across its facilities.
