Description
At Jeddah Marina, boarding feels more like entering a boutique hotel than a boat. Minutes later, you’re crossing the harbor toward Al-Balad, where coral-stone architecture and UNESCO-listed lanes showcase the soul of the Hejaz. This program blends coastal ease with cultural depth, delivered from the comfort of a Benetti Tradition 30m whose crew excel at quietly orchestrating complex days.
It’s a fully crewed, culturally attuned charter: expert shore guides, crowd-aware timing, and menus that weave Hejazi flavors through contemporary cuisine. Snorkeling and beach time remain central, but every day includes a lens on the region’s living heritage.
About Our Service in Al-Balad, Thuwal, KAUST, KAEC and Rabigh
Day 1 – Al-Balad Immersion: Disembark the tender to explore UNESCO-listed Al-Balad—traditional houses, souks, and coastal heritage—then rejoin the yacht for a sunset cruise to a quiet anchorage.
Day 2 – Thuwal: Sheltered beaches and gentle snorkeling set an easy rhythm. Dinner ashore (curated by the crew) showcases local flavors before a smooth ride back to the yacht.
Day 3 – KAUST Waterfront: View coastal facilities and enjoy calm-water watersports nearby (access dependent). Afternoon leisure on deck with reading, naps, and horizon-watching.
Day 4 – KAEC: A modern counterpoint—marina strolls, cafés, and shopping—before a relaxed evening on the aft deck with a sea-breeze dinner.
Day 5 – Rabigh: A market visit and coastal walks segue into snorkeling at quiet fringe reefs. The tender stages a sunset photo circuit along the shoreline.
Day 6 – Hejazi Culinary Workshop: At anchor in a scenic bay, the chef hosts a spice-led cooking session—sumac, saffron, black lime—followed by a long lunch and lazy afternoon swims.
Day 7 – Return to Jeddah: A final morning at sea precedes midday arrival and graceful farewells at the marina.
About Our Yacht – Benetti Tradition 30m Motor Yacht
Five ensuite cabins, a luminous saloon, shaded alfresco dining, and a versatile flybridge define life aboard. Stabilizers ensure calm passages; Wi-Fi and entertainment support quiet evenings. The tender handles quick shore hops; snorkel sets and paddleboards keep water time effortless.
Why This Charter Stands Out
The Hejaz coast rarely receives this level of thoughtful curation. With heritage front and center—balanced by snorkeling, beaches, and superb cuisine—this is the Red Sea for travelers who enjoy context with their color.
