NEOM has signed a deal with superyacht concierge and maritime agency BWA Yachting as it eyes an opening date for visitors within the year.
The firm will establish an office at NEOM’s luxury island development Sindalah.
BWA “will provide services for the world’s most spectacular luxury vessels, as Sindalah becomes the Red Sea’s first ultra-prime superyacht destination,” according to a report in Hotelier Middle East.
Sindalah will be the first part of NEOM to open, one of NEOM’s 39 islands that will have more than 5,000 berths.
Antoni Vives, chief urban development and islands officer at NEOM, said: “Sindalah will redefine the luxury island experience and become the most sought-after yachting destination in the world, offering six months of winter sun and less than a day’s sail from the ports of the Mediterranean.
“Working with BWA Yachting will allow us to tap into their expertise and provide the unparalleled yachting ecosystem and elevated experience for which Sindalah will become synonymous. This partnership represents an important step as we invite the world to set sail for Sindalah.”
