Saudi Arabia approves recreational boat rentals
The Red Sea Authority in Saudi Arabia has issued, for the first time, requirements and regulations to organize the activity of boat rental for leisure trips within the territorial waters of the Red Sea. The aim is to ensure environmental safety, security, and high tourism quality. The regulations include a licensing system that requires obtaining a license for marine activity operators and a separate permit for each boat, along with an annual technical inspection carried out by a certified company. The guidelines emphasize the need to provide emergency plans, safety instructions, and insurance coverage to protect visitors and the environment, as well as full transparency regarding prices and cancellation policies. Additionally, the requirements incorporate standards to promote inclusivity and ensure boats are accessible to people with disabilities, while also safeguarding coral reefs and marine biodiversity. The procedures will be in effect for 180 days prior to their enforcement. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of marine tourism services, improve safety and environmental protection, and support economic and social growth in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
