The Saudi Red Sea Authority (SRSA) has granted Red Sea Global (RSG) operating licences for AMAALA Marina and Shura Marina, strengthening the facilities’ readiness to welcome yachts and expanding integrated marine services along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast.
SRSA Vice President of Coastal Tourism Operations Eng. Mohammed Bukhari handed over the licences to Raed Albasseet, Chief Operations and Sustainability Officer at RSG, in Riyadh.
The licences were issued under Saudi Arabia’s Regulation for the Design and Operation of Tourist Marinas, which establishes standards covering marina operations, health, safety and environmental protection. The regulatory framework is aimed at enhancing service quality, investor confidence and sustainable coastal tourism.
RSG has also launched its Yachting Network, bringing the management and operation of its marinas and yacht clubs along the Red Sea coast under a unified system to provide yacht owners, captains and crews with seamless access to berthing and marine services.
AMAALA Marina, part of AMAALA Yacht Club, offers 119 berths, while Shura Marina provides 159 berths. Together, the two marinas offer 278 berths and can accommodate yachts of up to 120 metres in length.
The development supports Saudi Arabia’s ambition to strengthen the Red Sea as a global yachting and tourism destination and contributes to the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
