AMAALA Yacht Club formally opens to promote yachting, sailing and marine tourism
AMAALA
Yacht Club has officially begun operations, marking a significant step in
Saudi Arabia’s efforts to establish its Red Sea coast as an international
destination for luxury yachting, sailing and marine tourism.
Developed by Red Sea
Global (RSG), the yacht club is located within AMAALA Marina Village and is
now welcoming founding members and visiting yachts to the destination.
Positioned approximately 2,000 nautical miles from Monaco,
AMAALA Yacht Club is being positioned as a winter cruising destination for the
international yachting community. The location offers an alternative to
traditional winter routes to the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, while providing
access to the Red Sea and routes toward the wider Indian Ocean.
“The AMAALA Yacht Club marks the emergence of a truly global
yachting destination, offering unparalleled access to the stunning Saudi Red
Sea coast,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global. “More than a
world-class facility, it brings together luxury, wellness, and regenerative
tourism in a way that is unique anywhere in the world.”
