Superyacht Charters in Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a breath away from a Superyacht Renaissance

Recently welcoming a modern Superyacht Fleet, anchoring its Gigaprojects as a new competitive yachting destination.

In the wake of the Public Investment Fund (PIF)’s strategic acquisition of a 33% stake in Azimut Benetti Group (old news) and a new Benetti 67m set for charters in Saudia (good news) is the Kingdom on the verge of launching its competitive fleet?

In great admiration of a nation being guardians and in governance of values, authentic culture, and principles, this groundwork laid for transformation is accelerating its bold investments fully aligned with Crown Prince MBS’s Vision 2030, driving innovation and elevating the global influence of the Kingdom across diverse marine sectors.
