As a superyacht destination, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has a lot on offer – and I mean a lot. But the great difficulty is acquiring the necessary permits and clearances to access the region. The nation boasts two gorgeous coastlines, unrivalled marine biodiversity, six UNESCO world heritage sites and a medley of thriving cities, so the allure is tantalising. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212919/image/large-253acb3eca3f00dd615751d06eedd514.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212919">While KSA is notoriously closed off for tourism, times are changing. The region is benefiting from some major financial drives that aim to bolster tourism. Financial support for these investments are coming directly from the coffers of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, and a major roadmap has been rolled out as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 to reduce dependency on oil through tourism and other sectors.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson&nbsp;</a>is very much in the throng of things and is firmly established in the region, positioning itself as the go-to superyacht management company for accessing the region. “Not only do we offer all of our typical services, we also provide a collection of specialty services here in the KSA,” Grant Thompson, Operations Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a>, explained. “We also offer a whole host of speciality services for the KSA, including provisioning, concierge, aviation, as well as inbound and outbound clearance and agency services."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/227684/image/large-900dccba15e441e1f6fb0e898a499a2c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/227684">“We have a full-service approach to the visiting yachts to enable them to clear in and out of KSA, and we cater to all the needs they may have whilst in the country,” Grant confirmed. “The KSA is a scene which is continually changing, and our finger is firmly on the pulse.”The veil of the nation was lifted in 2019 as the country tentatively opened its waters to international tourists. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> set up shop in Jeddah a year earlier, so was assisting yacht owners and charter guests navigate the bureaucratic red tape from the get-go. The bountiful wealth of the region – culture, heritage, marine biodiversity and pristine, sand-baked geography – was accessed for many with thanks to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a>. And as the nation rolls out plans to become more accessible with improved infrastructure and facilities to cater to the needs of superyacht travellers, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> is growing in unison.“We have a new full-service marina in Jeddah for large yachts, which opened for the Formula One Grand Prix and is situated on Jeddah Corniche – home to the prestigious <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club Marina (Company)">Jeddah Yacht Club</a>,” Grant said. “And with the numerous initiatives underway to further establish yachting in the Red Sea – building marinas, the founding of the Red Sea Operations centre who overview the cruising areas within the country, and the development of hotels and diving schools – we are looking at opening more regional offices around the country to furnish the demands of these initiatives.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212921/image/large-e3549877f342d3f0c9caec4501f370e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212921">“As it stands, we now have two offices,” Grant continued. “We recently opened a second office in the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club Marina (Company)">Jeddah Yacht Club Marina</a> development. As the marina in Jeddah becomes fully operational, we envisage a strong demand for passing yachts either north or south from Suez for fuelling and provisioning due to location and the standards of services provided.”&nbsp;The world saw the prowess of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club Marina (Company)">Jeddah Yacht Club &amp; Marina</a> late last year as it hosted over 40 superyachts during the inaugural Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix. Since the event, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club Marina (Company)">Jeddah Yacht Club &amp; Marina</a> has been closed as work was underway to redesign the entrance of the port. For those looking to enter the marina once reopened, special permits are likely to be necessary, and with Hill Robinson’s office located at the heart of things, it’s a good port of call to source these. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212918/image/large-3c1b59d41c4dbb32eb13e82fe58b17c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212918">Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54210" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina opens ahead of first Saudi F1 (2021-12-06 08:45:00 +0100)">Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina opens ahead of first Saudi F1</a>Saudi Arabia is certainly a region to watch, “The underwater life is world class with diving activities in very low numbers so this is an area of huge potential to yachting,” Grant said. “There are numerous pristine islands and beaches along the Red Sea coast which offer huge potential to the cruising yachts.”If you’re thinking of when to try and visit, according to Grant, “The climate in KSA lends itself to extending the season for Med-based yachts as it’s geographically near to Suez and temperatures are ideal to extend the summer season until December. For yachts heading to the Med for the summer season temperatures in April will further extend the cruising period.”

The contrast between the large surfaces and volumes of her decks and hull also emphasises the vessel's dynamic lines.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326142/image/large-9a7920fbc491f54d386b795f655f5cf9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326142">Lightning uses cutting-edge materials to ensure both lightness and durability. This attention to detail extends to her interior, which is designed to offer maximum comfort and luxury. Spaces are optimised with elegant furnishings and modern technologies that make the onboard experience truly unique for guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326145/image/large-52bd724984522df424a6a930e70d689c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326145">Her main saloon and dining area provides guests with an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for socialising and dining, while her upper deck skylounge allows guests to take in the breathtaking sea views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326144/image/large-5f22aac271b01dfa1a7487e16d66754e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326144">The interior layout of Lightning is crafted to create expansive spaces, with a central staircase at the heart of the design. In terms of accommodation, her owner's suite offers a private and luxurious retreat, while four guest suites guarantee comfort and privacy for all guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326147/image/large-69b6b2aef9a69939fca8835acffa8b0e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326147">The external layout of Lightning is characterised by large, open, and versatile spaces.

This technology allows for optimal fuel consumption management, with the combined use of diesel engines and electric motors reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326146/image/large-6d3a6026c1e00ca3ed0ac28042f1c37f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326146">In electric mode, Lightning can navigate with zero emissions, ideal for operations in sensitive or protected areas.
