Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, a leisure marine facility in Saudi Arabia, has received a “Five Gold Anchor” designation by accreditation body The Yacht Harbour Association.
According to TYHA, the award was established in 2014 “to improve marina standards and the experience of marina users.” Independently audited by industry experts, Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina passed the first assessment, which evaluated its operations, customer service, safety, and environmental measures.
