The show is intended to connect the Red Sea coast with the global yacht and marine tourism industries.
Saudi Arabia hopes to use it to attract international visitors, investors and yacht makers, and support tourism and economic diversification.
Organisers aim to draw more than 50 yachts, 150 exhibitors and 10,000 visitors to the first edition.
They estimate its economic impact could exceed $500 million through yacht sales and rentals and luxury tourism.
The agreement covers 10 years, and organisers plan to expand the event in later editions, with targets for more yachts, visitors, brands and economic impact.
