Monaco, September 2026: The Monaco Yacht Show is expanding its international presence to Saudi Arabia with the launch of the Red Sea Yacht Show, scheduled to take place in Jeddah from October 14 to 17, 2027.
The new event will bring together the international yachting community at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, positioning the Red Sea as an emerging destination for luxury yachting and marine tourism.
Bringing Monaco’s Yachting Expertise to the Red Sea
For more than three decades, the Monaco Yacht Show has brought together superyacht owners, builders, brokers and designers.
The Red Sea Yacht Show will draw on the Monaco Yacht Show’s industry expertise and international network while developing its own identity around Jeddah and the Red Sea.
The inaugural event will feature a selection of superyachts, tenders and dayboats alongside luxury categories including fine jewellery, collectible art, luxury automobiles, design and cuisine from Michelin-starred chefs.
The show will combine yacht viewings and industry meetings with private receptions, dining experiences and opportunities to explore the destination.
Partnership to Develop the New Show
During the Monaco Yacht Show, Tahaluf and Sela signed an agreement to develop and deliver the inaugural Red Sea Yacht Show at Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina. The signing was attended by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.
The agreement follows the official launch celebration for the Red Sea Yacht Show held in Monaco on September 23.
Mike Champion, CEO of Tahaluf, said the decision by Monaco Yacht Show to expand to Saudi Arabia reflects the opportunities emerging around yachting in the Red Sea.
Eng. Amer Hussain Daggag, Destinations General Manager at Sela, said Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina provides a setting for introducing the international yachting community to Jeddah and the Red Sea.
A New Addition to the Yachting Calendar
The October dates are positioned at the end of the Mediterranean yachting season, when attention traditionally shifts towards winter destinations.
With Jeddah serving as a historic gateway to the Red Sea and a growing network of destinations developing along the coast, the new show aims to connect the international yachting community with the region’s marine tourism offering.
The Red Sea Yacht Show is powered by the Monaco Yacht Show and supported by BOAT International. The event is being developed for yacht owners and prospective buyers, shipyards, brokers, designers and others involved in luxury travel and yachting.
