Red Sea Authority grants operating licenses for Amaala and Shura Island marinas

The Saudi Red Sea Authority has granted operating licenses to Red Sea Global for the Amaala and Shura Island marinas, boosting marine tourism services. The licenses, issued by Executive Vice President for Coastal Tourism Operations Mohammed Bukhari, enable Red Sea Global to welcome yachts and enhance integrated marine services at developed Red Sea destinations.

The Authority's statement confirms the licenses align with regulatory requirements for marina design, operation, health, safety, and environmental standards. Red Sea Global's Yacht Network integrates marina management and operations, offering yacht owners, captains, and crews a seamless experience across destinations. The network comprises Amaala Marina, with 119 berths, and Shura Island Marina, the largest on a Kingdom island, with 159 berths, totaling 278 berths for yachts up to 120 meters.

Amaala Yacht Club, covering nearly 7,900 square meters, provides facilities and services to complement the marina and elevate the destination's appeal for yacht tourism. This move underscores the synergy between the Authority's role in building and regulating the coastal tourism sector and Red Sea Global's development efforts, fostering growth, enhancing competitiveness, and advancing Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
