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 and Marina</a>, the first along the Red Sea Coast that can accommodate over 100 yachts and superyachts up to 120 metres, has opened. As an entry point to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the yacht club and marina is located in a key and strategic location of customs and immigration services for all vessels entering the region. The event took place this weekend at the beginning of the inaugural Saudi Arabia Formula 1 Grand Prix, though the official opening will take place in March 2022, less than a year since the project began. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212919/image/large-253acb3eca3f00dd615751d06eedd514.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212919">The opening of the marina will offer visitors access to the Jeddah Yacht Club, its boardwalk and surrounding restaurants and retail outlets. The vision of the yacht club and marina are tied to the goal of the kingdoms transformation under Vision 2030 – creating economic growth and more opportunities for Saudi nationals while promotion culture, entertainment and sport.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212918/image/large-3c1b59d41c4dbb32eb13e82fe58b17c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212918">SELA, the company behind some of the more ambitious projects including the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club Marina (Company)">JYC Marina</a>, announced that the marina had welcomed its first yachts into berth ahead of the F1. The new event took place from 3rd - 5th of December at a circuit on Jeddah's North Corniche, the fastest F1 track in the world. Mohideen Nazer, Director Parks &amp; Resorts, SELA, commented,"We're delighted that the world of yachting now has its first home address on Saudi Arabia's Red coast. All the teams have worked very hard to give birth to this great Marina and magnificent Club House in record time. This is a small step in our contribution to the realisation of Vision 2030 for the Kingdom, but it is nonetheless a major first step to turn the Red Sea Coast into a compelling destination for yachting aficionados to enjoy our amazing cruising grounds".<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212922/image/large-6516f9351b5a7f5e4ed0934f3f99dbaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212922"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212916/image/large-cc2c3d8740e94787ac555fa49e44971f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212916">Guests aboard superyachts such as like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7237" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="O'Pari95.0m (311'8&quot;)Golden Yachts Ltd.2020">O'Pari</a>, 95m, built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/778" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Golden Yachts Ltd.

Oliver Rees, General Manager Jeddah Yacht Club &amp; Marina (from January 2022): "JYC Marina and the Jeddah Yacht Club will be a perfect home port for private yachts, but also a great place to meet, enjoy sailing and water sports and revel in the quality of services we have on offer. It will also be a gateway to the wonders of the Red Sea, and we are confident that this fantastic new facility will rapidly become a prime waypoint on the global yachting map."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212921/image/large-e3549877f342d3f0c9caec4501f370e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212921">The JYC Yacht Club, which will also officially open next March, features a mast-and-sail-themed 5,000 metre-square club house, located by the entrance channel of the Marina, is a beacon, and a lighthouse that welcomes visitors to Jeddah’s shores.

The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Marine Equipment Trade Show (Metstrade)</a> has announced that visitor registration is now open for its 2026 edition. The global leisure marine trade show is set to return to RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398841/image/large-7b3a6d14c1ce5a3907a17dc1e2aa9788.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398841">The exhibition will feature more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 halls, showcasing the latest products, technologies and services spanning propulsion systems, sustainable materials, smart connectivity and onboard electronics.This year's event introduces a redesigned floorplan, including an expanded Superyacht Zone, a relocated Marina &amp; Yard Zone and a larger Construction Materials Zone, aimed at improving navigation and creating more opportunities for business networking.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398840/image/large-85a401cecafef1b1f792d36d32c66c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398840">RAI Marine Technology Director Niels Klarenbeek commented: “The 2026 floorplan isn’t just bigger, it’s structured differently to improve visitor experience. By regrouping the Superyacht, Marina &amp; Yard and Construction Materials zones, we’re cutting the distance between visitors and the conversations that matter most to them so they can spend more time in front of new products, new exhibitors and the connections that drive business.”The 2026 content programme will also place greater emphasis on longer-format discussions, with 45-minute sessions followed by dedicated networking opportunities. Highlights include talks on nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the impact of artificial intelligence on marine marketing.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398843/image/large-6dc1f9f52e49eb7c733aae6fb9f13505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398843">Alongside the exhibition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Metstrade</a> week will once again host industry events including The Superyacht Forum, which takes place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.Registration is free until 1 November 2026, after which an online fee of €90 (excluding VAT) will apply.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic Yachts</a> has revealed the interior of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16783" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic 80 Café Racer #123.93m (78'6&quot;)Baltic Yachts2027">first hull of its new 23.98-metre Baltic 80 Café Racer</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399045/image/large-6a4af5448d6fb4c8622ece3510e0aeaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399045">Evolving from the Baltic 68 Café Racer concept, the 80-foot model expands the brand’s focus on speed, simplicity, and easy handling into a larger maxi daysailer format. The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould. The method allows tighter tolerances, reduced fairing, and improved overall performance. The use of prepreg carbon further enhances weight reduction and structural efficiency. The first hull will feature a 6.5-metre beam and a displacement of 29 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399042/image/large-2c88150ed3813ffab581ec62879f0207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399041/image/large-0e4d08534bd2b91e9b226151299b8084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399041">Owners of the Café Racer 80 series will be able to select from a palette of bold hull colours, including red, yellow, deep grey, and turquoise. Lamination is scheduled to commence in August, following the Finnish summer break, with delivery expected in summer 2027. Male plug construction is currently underway as part of preparation for the female carbon tooling.
