Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea is a destination where modernity meets untouched wilderness. With NEOM’s next-generation marinas, the exclusivity of Sindalah Island, and wide stretches of pristine coastline, the region offers an emerging frontier for discerning yacht charter guests. Sail among isolated islands, anchor in uncharted coves, and experience a curated travel through one of the most fascinating new yachting zones on Earth.
Navigate Saudi Arabia’s Coast by Yacht
Sindalah, NEOM & Rarely Touched Anchorages
The Saudi Red Sea coast stretches over 1,500 kilometers and remains largely untouched by conventional tourism. Onboard your private yacht, this gives you exclusive access to remote bays, reef-protected beaches, and the most anticipated destination in the region—Sindalah Island, part of the visionary NEOM project.
- Sindalah Island: The region’s flagship marine lifestyle hub. Dock at superyacht-standard marinas, dine at world-class restaurants, and access curated events and experiences designed for elite visitors.
- NEOM Coastline: A blend of high design and high isolation. Cruise past the rising skyline of NEOM, stopping at bespoke moorings that blend sustainability with futuristic luxury.
- Farasan Islands: A lesser-known archipelago of over 80 coral-rich islands, ideal for diving, snorkeling, and casting anchor for a beach picnic curated by your onboard chef.
- Al Wajh & Umluj: With their turquoise waters and white-sand beaches, these areas are often called the “Saudi Maldives.” Quiet, photogenic, and ideal for uninterrupted relaxation.
Your onboard experience may include sunrise meditations on the sundeck, spearfishing with a local guide, or simply unwinding in the silence of the sea, surrounded by complete privacy.
Tailor-Made Itineraries with Purpose
Every Saudi charter is designed to be purposeful, personal, and discreet. Our charter team oversees every detail, including:
- Permissions for island landings and protected marine zones
- Docking arrangements in NEOM and Sindalah’s evolving marina infrastructure
- Seamless visa and customs coordination for international guests
- Helicopter and private aircraft transfers from Riyadh, Jeddah, or Tabuk
- Crew composition with dive instructors, chefs, wellness therapists, or cultural guides
Your voyage is curated to your pace, from sunrise yoga to deep-sea fishing, from immersive onboard dining to rare marine encounters guided by professionals.
Crafting Your Saudi Red Sea Yacht Experience
A day at sea here might begin with freshly brewed Arabic coffee on the aft deck as the yacht cruises past a chain of untouched islets. Swim in impossibly clear waters, go kite surfing in an empty bay, or take the tender to shore for a desert-island-style lunch.
As night falls, Sindalah’s curated nightlife, silent star-gazing from the flybridge, or a live oud performance onboard might close the day. No two itineraries are the same, and each day is crafted around how you want to feel: adventurous, reflective, social, or silent.
