TABUK — Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced a momentous partnership with Monaco Marina Management (M3) aimed at elevating Saudi Arabia into a distinguished yachting haven. This collaborative endeavor is poised to establish RSG's Amaala Yacht Club as a premier global yachting destination, RSG said in a press release.

The alliance with M3, recognized as a privileged partner of "La Belle Classe Destinations," a prestigious certification overseen by the renowned Yacht Club de Monaco, was officially confirmed during a signing ceremony at the Monaco Yacht Show, hosted at the exhibition stand of the Saudi Red Sea Authority, the statement said.

Together, RSG and M3 are dedicated to meeting the rigorous criteria and standards required to earn the esteemed 'La Belle Classe Destinations' certification once Amaala Yacht Club is operational. This certification serves as a hallmark of excellence for yacht clubs and marinas worldwide. The partnership extends to various initiatives, including the development of an event calendar, establishment of a sailing academy, support for training and recruitment programs, and provision of seasonal, reciprocal opportunities for members, cadets, and youth.

"'La Belle Classe Destinations' certification is bestowed upon yachting destinations exemplifying a profound commitment to maritime ethics, etiquette, and environmental stewardship. Recipients become integral members of a global network of excellence, united in shaping the future of sailing and yachting while upholding these essential values," RSG said in the press release.

Pagano, representing Red Sea Global, emphasized, "Empowering Saudi nationals has always been at the core of our regenerative approach, and with our marina employees receiving world-class training both in Monaco and at Amaala, we are confident that we are fulfilling our promise to create destinations by the people and for the people of Saudi Arabia."

José Marco Casellini, CEO of Monaco Marina Management, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Red Sea Global's vision for regenerative tourism closely aligns with our mission to promote sustainable yachting. We are thrilled to collaborate in bringing these ambitions to fruition and jointly positioning the Amaala Yacht Club and Saudi Arabia as prominent global yachting destinations. Moreover, M3 is proud to be part of this collective effort."

Phase One of Amaala, focused on the Triple Bay masterplan, is currently underway and is scheduled to open in 2025. This phase comprises eight resorts offering over 1,200 hotel rooms. Upon completion, Amaala will boast more than 3,900 hotel rooms spread across 29 hotels, as well as approximately 1,200 luxury residential villas, apartments, and estate homes. The destination will also feature high-end retail outlets, fine dining establishments, wellness facilities, equestrian amenities, and recreational offerings, solidifying its status as a world-class destination. — SG
