Beschreibung
Jeddah Marina’s streamlined embarkation makes joining your private Benetti Tradition 30m motor yacht effortless, so your attention stays on the sea, not the sidewalk. Within minutes of boarding, luggage vanishes to your cabin, refreshments arrive, and the crew walk you through a concise orientation before casting off. Northbound toward Rabigh and Yanbu, the coastline unfolds in cool blues and silver horizons, leading to a week that blends coral exploration with cultural discovery at one of the Red Sea’s most storied ports.
This is a fully crewed, highly customized charter. Menus reflect your tastes; dive and snorkel plans adapt to the day’s clarity and currents; and shore experiences are coordinated to your pace. Whether you’re a family keen on easy snorkeling and beach time, or divers eager for walls, wrecks, and “Seven Sisters” coral gardens, the captain and guide shape each day to maximize comfort and water time.
About Our Service in Rabigh, Yanbu Reef Gardens, Yanbu Old Town, Seven Sisters, Iona Wreck and Radwa Coast
Day 1 – Jeddah to Rabigh: After departure, a gentle coastal passage delivers you to a sheltered Rabigh anchorage by late afternoon. The crew launch snorkel gear for a warm-up swim over patch reefs and set an elegant canapés service for sunset. A starlit dinner on the aft deck completes the first day.
Day 2 – Yanbu Reef Gardens: Morning light reveals the vivid palette of Yanbu’s reefs. Divers brief for relaxed, photography-friendly sites while snorkelers float above gardens animated by parrotfish and turtles. A long, lazy lunch is followed by a second, shallower session ideal for families. Return to the yacht for a golden-hour rinse and an Arabian-inspired dinner.
Day 3 – Yanbu Old Town: Swap fins for walking shoes. The tender whisks you ashore to explore the historic harbor, coral-stone houses, and traditional markets. Your guide curates a cultural lunch featuring Hejazi flavors before you rejoin the yacht for sunset and a quiet anchorage.
Day 4 – Seven Sisters: The yacht moves to the celebrated Seven Sisters reef chain. Expect dramatic coral formations, schooling fusiliers, and excellent visibility. Two dives (or extended snorkels) are spaced with a hearty deck lunch and a RIB scout to choose the afternoon’s calmest site. Evening brings deck-top stargazing with soft music.
Day 5 – Iona Wreck & Alternatives: Certified wreck divers descend along the storied Iona, while non-divers enjoy tender safaris, glass-clear snorkeling, or paddleboarding over nearby shallow coral pans. The chef presents a seafood tasting menu at dusk.
Day 6 – Radwa Coast: Beneath the Radwa mountains, a coastal hike reveals wide vistas and photo-worthy cliffs. After lunch, beachcombing and relaxed snorkeling fill the afternoon. A final sunset toast celebrates a week of contrasts: culture and coral, history and living reef.
Day 7 – Return Passage: A leisurely cruise returns you to Jeddah Marina by mid-afternoon, with time for a final swim en route if conditions allow.
About Our Yacht – Benetti Tradition 30m Motor Yacht
The Benetti Tradition 30m hosts up to ten guests in five ensuite cabins, balancing refined Italian interiors with purposeful deck spaces. A bright saloon flows to a shaded aft deck for open-air dining; above, the flybridge offers panoramic seating, sun pads, and a flexible lounge that converts for sunrise yoga or cinema nights. Stabilizers minimize motion both underway and at anchor, while Wi-Fi, climate control, and a premium sound system elevate downtime. A broad swim platform and swift tender simplify access to reefs and shore.
Why This Charter Stands Out
Few itineraries deliver such balance: signature reefs, a historic port, and a photogenic mountain coast in one seamless loop. Compared with cookie-cutter routes, this program layers cultural insight atop blue-water beauty, all executed by a crew who choreograph each day for comfort and clarity. Choose this charter for an intelligent blend of discovery and ease where every detail—from dive briefings to market strolls—feels polished, personal, and unhurried.
