Jeddah Yacht Club Marina Highlights 120m Superyacht Capacity

Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina offers a significant operating base on the Saudi Red Sea, with an official berth limit extending well into the superyacht fleet. The Yacht Harbour Association lists 94 berths and a maximum vessel length of 120 metres, while the marina's Five Gold Anchor recognition provides an independent benchmark for owners comparing regional facilities.

A marina sized for 120-metre vessels

The Yacht Harbour Association's current directory entry gives Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina 94 berths with a stated maximum yacht length of 120 metres. These numbers separate it from smaller recreational facilities and make the marina relevant to captains assessing an extended Red Sea season. Individual suitability still depends on the available berth's beam, draft, utility connections and manoeuvring limits; a headline length capacity does not mean any 120-metre yacht can enter any allocated berth. The listed location on Jeddah's waterfront places yachts near the Corniche and within approximately fifteen minutes of King Abdulaziz International Airport, subject to normal road conditions.

The value of an independently assessed operation

Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina received Five Gold Anchor status at its first assessment under the programme in 2026. The assessment looks beyond dock presentation to operational procedures, customer service, safety and environmental management, making it relevant for managers evaluating a new destination. Recognition does not replace vessel-specific due diligence, but it offers a starting point when comparing infrastructure and the consistency of service delivery. The marina's official profile identifies fuel, water and electricity at berths, pump-out, engineering trades, electronic services, chandlery and customer facilities. Captains should verify current capacity and availability rather than assume every listed service can be delivered simultaneously at peak demand.

Guest movement and shoreside logistics

The adjoining yacht club and waterfront district provide a guest-facing setting as well as a technical stop. Jeddah's Corniche, restaurants, boutiques and leisure facilities are close to the marina, making short transfers less complex than at a remote industrial quay. Crew operations remain a separate question: suppliers, contractors and yacht agents still need access clearance, workable delivery routes and an agreed service plan. Travel itineraries should be planned against immigration, customs and local maritime requirements, particularly for foreign-flagged yachts arriving after an international passage. The marina's published contact route is the proper point for berth and facilities confirmation.

Part of a developing Red Sea yachting network

The marina sits alongside broader Red Sea tourism and yachting investment, including new berth infrastructure elsewhere in Saudi Arabia and digital permitting services. An owner considering several destinations will need to understand the differences between Jeddah, AMAALA and other planned facilities rather than treat them as one interchangeable network. Port distances, fuel, security, crew requirements and seasonal weather can change the itinerary. This report uses the association's current marina profile and the marina's official aerial image. It presents the Five Gold Anchor milestone in the context of practical superyacht access, not as a substitute for a berth quotation or operational clearance.
