Jeddah – Westpost |
The Red Sea Yacht Show will make its debut in Jeddah from 14 to 17 October 2027 at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, bringing together international players from the yachting and luxury marine tourism sectors.
The event is being developed and delivered by Tahaluf and Sela, following an agreement signed during the Monaco Yacht Show in Monaco in the presence of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.
The Red Sea Yacht Show will draw on the experience and international relationships of the Monaco Yacht Show while establishing its own identity around the Red Sea and Saudi Arabia.
The event will feature a selection of superyachts, tenders and dayboats, alongside businesses and brands connected to luxury yacht ownership and lifestyle, including fine jewellery, collectible art, luxury automobiles, design and high-end dining.
The programme will include yacht viewings and industry meetings, alongside private receptions, dining experiences and activities connected to Jeddah and the Red Sea destination.
Mike Champion, CEO of Tahaluf, said the decision by the Monaco Yacht Show to expand beyond Monaco and bring its expertise to Saudi Arabia reflects the opportunities emerging in the Red Sea. He said the event would combine international expertise with Saudi creativity and hospitality.
Eng. Amer Hussain Daggag, Destinations General Manager at Sela, said Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina provides a setting for the new show and that the collaboration with Tahaluf and the Monaco Yacht Show would provide an opportunity to welcome the international yachting community to Jeddah.
The October dates place the event at a significant point in the international yachting calendar, as the Mediterranean season approaches its close and attention shifts toward winter destinations. Jeddah, as a historic gateway to the Red Sea, is expected to serve as the host city for the inaugural edition.
The Red Sea Yacht Show is supported by the Monaco Yacht Show and BOAT International, and is being developed for yacht owners and prospective buyers, shipyards, brokers, designers and businesses involved in luxury travel at sea.
The inaugural Red Sea Yacht Show will take place at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina from 14 to 17 October 2027.
