When it comes to Winter destinations for superyachts, the Caribbean often dominates the conversation. However, recent attention has shifted towards the Red Sea, fuelled by
extensive marina development projects on both the Saudi Arabian and Egyptian sides.
Strategically located near the Mediterranean, the Red Sea offers superyachts a seamless transition from their summer cruising grounds and is progressing towards becoming a leading
winter yachting destination.
Despite this progress, several critical areas still require further development to fully realise the Red Sea’s potential as a sought-after destination. These include enhancing
collaboration between nation-states, expanding infrastructure, adjusting regulatory frameworks for foreign-flagged vessels, and implementing robust sustainability measures to
preserve its rich biodiversity.At the latest Gulf Superyacht Summit in Dubai, the 'Red Sea Opportunity' panel discussion featured Bahi Naguib, Red Sea Operations Director at Felix
