Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina Opens in Early 2022

While the official opening isn’t until early 2022, the Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina hosted over 40 superyachts and smaller vessels for a preview and the inaugural Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix on the weekend of December 5. Some vessels in attendance included 95-meter M/Y O’Pari , 85-meter M/Y Sunrays , and 82-meter M/Y RoMEA .

"What a weekend we have had and what a fitting preview for this fantastic facility. It is clear from this F1 weekend that the Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina will be a perfect home port for private yachts, but also a great place to meet, enjoy sailing and water sports, and revel in the quality of services we have on offer,” General Manager Oliver Rees said in a press release.

It is the first marina along the Red Sea coast that will be able to accommodate yachts up to 120 meters, and the official opening will come in time for the return of the F1 Grand Prix to Jeddah on March 25-27, 2022. Built in record time by local Saudi Arabia events and resorts business SELA — six months from first breaking ground — the complex is in the northern part of Jeddah, only a few kilometers from the new King Abdulaziz airport and the city center. Not only does it include the new marina, the complex is home to the Jeddah Yacht Club and a selection of world-renowned retail and entertainment venues.

"We're delighted that the world of yachting now has its first home address on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. This weekend has been a fitting preview of what’s to come,” says Mohideen Nazer, director, Parks & Resorts at SELA. “We have developed a beautiful yacht club and marina and the people of Jeddah have shown their welcoming hospitality.”

With berths for 100 yachts up to 120 meters, the marina is “the first step of a series of major yachting developments that will take place in the Kingdom over the next ten years, stretching from Neom in the North to Amaala and the Red Sea Project further south down to Jeddah and beyond,” the press release states. It will provide customs clearance and immigration services to all vessels or be a stop on yachts’ way to the cruising grounds of the East Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia.

Short-term and long-term berths are available ahead of the official launch. For more info, those interested should contact the marina manager: [email protected] .

JEDDAH YACHT CLUB MARINA BECOMES CENTRE OF THE YACHTING WORLD FOR FORMULA 1

Updated: May 15, 2023

With the arrival of the Formula 1 to the Jeddah Corniche, the Jeddah Yacht Club rolls out the red carpet, welcoming a spectacular fleet of the world's finest superyachts to its marina.

The Formula 1 stc Saudi Arabian Grand Prix takes place this weekend, on the world’s fastest street track: the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Since its debut in 2021, the prestigious event has been attracting some of the industry's most impressive yachts, and this year promises to be an even grander affair.

The Jeddah Yacht Club, with its stunning views of the Red Sea, is set to host over 20 superyachts throughout the race weekend. Since Sunday, superyachts have been arriving into the marina, situated between the iconic Jeddah Yacht Club building and the breathtaking Al-Rahma Mosque.

Among the remarkable vessels in attendance are the 113 metre Alaiya, the 108 metre IJE, and the 95 metre Vava 2, with the grand arrival of the Saluzi on Friday morning marking the completion of this extraordinary lineup.

Oliver Rees, General Manager of the Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, said: "We are thrilled to welcome such an incredible line-up of luxury yachts to the Jeddah Yacht Club Marina. We’ve been welcoming superyachts since 2021, but it's still exciting for all of us to see this marina packed with some of the world's most impressive pleasure boats.

"Speaking to captains, we’ve been told that berthing at the Jeddah Yacht Club’s Marina has never been easier, which is the best news we could hope to hear. Our team has worked around-the-clock to make this marina the centre of the yachting world this weekend, and their dedication has clearly paid off.”

As the Grand Prix garners significant international media attention, Jeddah's reputation as a top-tier destination for world-class events continues to grow. Rees added, “The way this weekend has come together really speaks to the city’s incredible infrastructure. With Jeddah Yacht Club Marina’s top-notch facilities, it's clear that Jeddah is now more than ready to host major global events like this!”

As the race weekend kicks off on Friday March 17th, the Jeddah Yacht Club Boardwalk will come alive with eager race fans. Visitors will be able to enjoy the mouthwatering cuisine, explore a wide range of exclusive shops, and, of course, marvel at the dazzling display of incredible yachts that have made this event a global sensation.

Jeddah Yacht Club Marina this week welcomed the first yachts to berth there on the occasion of the inaugural Saudi Arabia F1 Grand Prix.

JYC Marina is the first marina along the Red Sea coast that can accommodate superyachts and megayachts up to 120m in a world-class environment. The event gave visiting yachts and VIP visitors to the F1 an opportunity to preview the premises of the upcoming Jeddah Yacht Club , which will be officially opened around the time when the Saudi F1 GP returns for the 2022 season on 25-27 March 2022.

Built in just six months, the entire complex is situated in the northern part of Jeddah, only a few kilometers away from the new King Abdulaziz airport and the city center. It comprises JYC Marina, the Jeddah Yacht Club and a collection of retail and F&B outlets on the marina Boardwalk around the basin.

A world-class marina

Capable of berthing over 100 yachts of all sizes up to 120m , JYC Marina epitomizes the future of superyachting on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastline. It is the first step into major yachting developments that are to take place in the Kingdom over the next 10 years, stretching from Neom in the North to Amaala and the Red Sea Project further south down to Jeddah and beyond.

Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina hosts first superyachts

Saudi arabian f1 grand prix weekend gives a preview of the grand opening in march 2022….

As many of us saw over a breathless weekend of racing at the Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix 2021, the adjacent Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina hosted a range of superyachts in what served as a preview of the grand opening, scheduled for March 2022. The Red Sea has been a transient area and bunkering stop for much of the superyacht fleet en route to and from Asia Pacific. Still, The Jeddah Yacht Club (JYC) represents a step toward developing the region as a destination.

Over the next ten years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as expressed in a statement to the Media, will undertake a series of significant developments in yachting infrastructure. Stretching from Neom in the North to Amaala and the Red Sea Project, the capacity for large yachts will expand to over 100 berths, up to 120m.

Jeddah itself is well located for superyachts, and this development hopes to extend its utility beyond resupply and bunkering. During the inaugural Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix, the JYC hosted some iconic superyachts, including the 95m M/Y O Pari from Golden Yachts and the 85m Sunrays from Oceanco   and the 82m RoMEA from Abeking & Rasmussen .

Mohideen Nazer, director, parks & resorts at SELA, said in a statement: "We're delighted that the world of yachting now has its first home address on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast.  This weekend has been a fitting preview of what's to come.  We have developed a beautiful yacht club, and marina and the people of Jeddah have shown their welcoming hospitality.  We have seen this weekend that Jeddah is an amazing place for yachts to visit".

The JYC is the first marina in the region that can accommodate vessels of up to 120m and will officially open in time for the return of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on the 25th-27th March 2022. The Marina will also be recognised by the Kingdom as an official port of entry into Saudi Arabia, providing clearance for customs and immigration services for all foreign-flagged vessels. As highlighted by Oliver Rees, general manager of Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina (from January 2022): "It is a natural gateway to cruising amongst the wonders of the Red Sea, and we are confident that it will rapidly become a prime waypoint on the global yachting map."

A part of an ambitious series of developments in the Red Sea and the Gulf for the superyacht industry, the timeline and scale laid out for expected growth in the region are bold. As evidenced by the JYC, the region shows excellent promise for the fleet.  SuperyachtNews will continue to report live on this fascinating region as the projects continue to take shape.

Guests aboard superyachts such as like  O’Pari , 95m, built by  Golden Yachts , the 85m  Oceanco   Sunrays  and the 82m  Abeking & Rasmussen   RoMEA , were joined by a fleet of over 40 superyachts and smaller vessels to take part in the fun, for what is going to be an adrenalin-packed weekend, just a stone’s throw away from the JYC Marina.

The marina offers arriving vessels all the necessary supplies of electricity, water and fuel bunkering facilities, in a spectacular modern and functional environment. It has an on-site helipad to make it convenient for guests to arrive and embark or disembark discretely. There will also be repair and refit facilities at the shipyard.
