Public marina on the North Corniche with an academy teaching RYA sailing, powerboat and jet ski courses.
The Jeddah Yacht Club is a private marina on the North Corniche of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea coast in the Ash Shati district. Visit Saudi states that the club itself is reserved for members and their guests, while the marina is open to the public. The club's JYC Academy runs RYA (Royal Yachting Association) courses in sailing, powerboating and jet ski operation, so the practical way to sail or ride a jet ski through the club is to enrol in a course rather than to walk in. During Jeddah Season the club has also hosted public entertainment such as diving and fishing trips, parasailing and amphibious cars, but these are seasonal and vary by year. Course dates, prices, minimum age and booking channel were not published in the sources checked, so visitors contact the club through its official website or by visiting the marina on the Corniche. The club is about 20 km from Historic Jeddah and reachable by car, taxi, Uber or Careem. Sailing and jet skiing require a basic swimming ability and a life jacket, which is supplied on the course. Conditions are best from October to April, with hot, humid weather in summer.
