With its coastline and marine scenery, the Sharm Obhur waterfront in Jeddah Governorate has become a go-to spot for people looking for sea-based leisure, especially on holidays and weekends.

Tourist boats are one of the main draws, giving visitors and tourists a way to enjoy the Red Sea and discover what the area has to offer, with a range of excursions available to individuals and families.

Boat and yacht trips from Obhur let visitors take in the coastal waters and views and enjoy pleasure cruises, fishing and swimming. Some trips are dedicated to watching the sunset and taking souvenir photos.

Safety is emphasised throughout: passengers are urged to follow marine safety guidance and wear life jackets, and boats are checked for readiness and safety equipment before setting off.

Choices range from boats for short outings to yachts offering more privacy. The activities support coastal tourism in Jeddah and related services such as hospitality, while the Saudi Red Sea Authority is setting requirements to regulate pleasure boat rentals, aiming to improve passenger safety and service quality and protect the marine environment.
