Red Sea Global Launches 278-Berth Yachting Network Across AMAALA and Shura

Red Sea Global has launched Yachting Network, a new marina and yacht-club operating platform intended to connect its growing yachting infrastructure along Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. From winter 2026, the network will link AMAALA Marina and Shura Island Marina under a single management structure for private and charter yachts.

The first phase provides access to 278 berths across the two destinations, with both marinas able to accommodate yachts up to 120 metres. Red Sea Global says additional marinas and anchorages are planned to join the network during 2027.

One contract across the AMAALA-Shura corridor

The operating model is designed to let yachts move between AMAALA and Shura under a single berthing contract rather than treating each marina as an entirely separate destination. Red Sea Global says the arrangement is intended to simplify cruising logistics for owners, charter guests, captains and crew.

AMAALA Yacht Club acts as the northern gateway within the network, while Shura Island Marina provides a second base within The Red Sea destination. The two facilities create a connected cruising corridor on Saudi Arabia's northwest coast at the start of the programme.

278 berths for yachts up to 120 metres

AMAALA Marina contributes 119 berths to the network and can receive yachts up to 120 metres in length. Shura Island Marina adds 159 berths with the same stated maximum yacht length, bringing the combined initial capacity to 278 berths.

The scale gives the network relevance to both production yachts and the largest visiting superyachts. It also turns the Red Sea Global portfolio into a multi-marina proposition rather than a single-stop destination centred only on AMAALA.

Common operating and environmental standards

Red Sea Global says Yachting Network will operate in line with the Saudi Red Sea Authority Code and its own environmental approach. The company also points to Corallium, AMAALA's marine-life institute, as part of the stewardship framework surrounding the yachting programme.

Common management should allow service standards, berth coordination and guest support to be handled more consistently across the network. That is particularly important for charter and large-yacht itineraries where crews need predictable shore support at successive stops.

Expansion planned from 2027

Further marinas and anchorages are due to join Yachting Network in 2027, extending the initial AMAALA-Shura corridor. Red Sea Global has not yet presented the first phase as a finished network, but as the operating foundation for a broader coastal system.

AMAALA is around 1,300 nautical miles from Monaco via the Suez Canal, placing the network within reach of Mediterranean-based yachts moving east. The launch therefore strengthens the practical infrastructure behind Saudi Arabia's effort to establish the Red Sea as a regular international yachting region.
