Discover Unparalleled Luxury: Sailing Through the Caribbean on the Emerald Sakara Superyacht

1/5/2024

Comments

Picture this… stunning beaches, soft, powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, surrounded by lush green hills offering a perfect blend of natural serenity and breathtaking views. Does this sound like somewhere you would like, scratch that, need to visit? Then you’re in the right place and should keep reading. My recent voyage on the luxurious Emerald Sakara super yacht through the Caribbean was nothing short of incredible. Join me as I recount the unparalleled experience of sailing in opulence and indulging in the epitome of luxury.

The Sakara is Emerald’s newest luxury ocean superyacht added to the fleet at the tail end of 2023. The ship hosts up to only 100 passengers with a crew of 76 – making for an exclusive and intimate journey. The gorgeous sleek, modern interior with chrome and glass finish provides the perfect amount of extravagance without going over the top.

Onboard are spacious cabins – all of which have an ocean view, three bars and lounges, a jacuzzi, infinity pool, multiple open deck spaces, and a watersports platform. There is truly something for everyone. The highlight of my mornings was having my coffee and breakfast on the open outdoor patio with the incredible views of the Caribbean.

As I mentioned, the crew to guest ratio is nearly 1:1; this really allowed me to get to know the members of the crew and for them me. Their dedication to providing top-notch service was a standout feature of my trip. From the moment I stepped aboard, I was greeted with warm smiles and a level of hospitality that exceeded expectations. I should also mention the bridge is open 24 hours for guests to explore. The Captain and his team welcomed us onto the bridge, answered all our questions and shared fascinating facts about the navigational system. As silly as it may sounds, this personal touch made me feel like I was on my own personal yacht.

Our voyage encompassed a carefully curated itinerary, showcasing the Caribbean's most breathtaking locales. We departed San Juan, Puerto Rico and stopped in St. Thomas, Vieques, St. John, Tortola, Virgin Gorda and ended our voyage in St. John, Antigua. We had some last-minute weather-related changes so our itinerary shifted some, but the captain and crew did everything possible to ensure our replacement stop was just as pleasing as the one planned. The yacht's flexibility allowed us to explore hidden coves, pristine beaches, and charming coastal towns, providing an intimate connection with the region.

Dining aboard the Sakara was always a delight. Breakfast and lunch were served gourmet buffet style, with more options than anyone could eat at a time. Dinner, on the other hand, offered a carefully curated menu, with something different to try each night. The pumpkin soup stole the show in my opinion, as I am still thinking about it a month later. Beer and wine were paired with lunch and dinner, and of course, cocktails were available to order any time.

The yacht offered an abundance of recreational activities, ensuring our days were filled with excitement. Each port offered a few different pre-crafted excursions from train rides to hikes along the beach to the use of e-bikes to explore the local scene – truly something for everyone. Onboard, a fitness center, sky bar and the indoor observation deck, which offered games, books, and a TV (although I can’t say I ever saw anyone using it), catered to every guest's preference. The spa included salon services as well as facials, massages and access to a sauna. I was able to get into a 60-minute full body and scalp massage and it was utterly divine – I cannot recommend the experience enough.

In retrospect, this luxury yacht trip through the Caribbean was an incredible journey into a world of unparalleled beauty and extravagance. The memories of breathtaking sunsets, the laughter shared with fellow travelers, and the seamless blend of adventure and relaxation will forever be cherished. For those seeking the epitome of luxury in the Caribbean, this yacht experience is nothing short of perfection.

Embarking on this luxurious yacht trip was a privilege, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the crew for crafting an experience that surpassed all expectations. To anyone considering a Caribbean yacht voyage, prepare to be enchanted, captivated, and indulged in a journey that defines the very essence of luxury travel.

Your Personalized Adventure
With Disney VIP Tour Services, your day is not just a visit to the theme parks; it's a meticulously planned and customized adventure tailored to your desires. Catering to groups of up to 10 Guests, your personal VIP Tour Guide becomes your magical compass, ensuring you navigate the parks seamlessly while maximizing your enjoyment.

Effortless Beginnings
The journey begins with the ultimate convenience – being picked up from your Walt Disney World Resort accommodations in a private vehicle. As you step into a world of unrivaled hospitality, the magic of Disney takes on a new dimension.

VIP Perks and Personalized Services
One of the standout features of the VIP Tour is the ability to indulge in private transportation, whisking you away to various theme parks in one or more days. Say goodbye to long lines as you enjoy some of your favorite attractions with expedited access. The VIP treatment extends to preferred viewing spots for nightly fireworks and shows, providing you with an unmatched spectacle.

Your VIP Tour Guide, a treasure trove of Disney knowledge, shares insights and stories that add an extra layer of magic to your journey. Whether you're a seasoned Disney enthusiast or a first-time visitor, the expertise of your guide enhances your appreciation for the parks and their attractions.

Skip the Lines
A VIP Exclusive! Imagine a day at Disney where you're not bound by the constraints of waiting in long lines to experience your favorite attractions. No Disney adventure is complete without experiencing the magic of the rides. The VIP Tour takes this experience to the next level by granting you the privilege of skipping the regular ride lines. Imagine gliding past waiting crowds, seamlessly boarding your favorite attractions without a moment's delay. This exclusive perk not only saves you time but ensures that your day is filled with maximum excitement and joy.

Exclusive Access to Thrills

Whether you're a thrill-seeker eager for the rush of adrenaline or a family looking to create lasting memories together, the VIP advantage ensures that your day is filled with excitement rather than anticipation.

Unveiling the Cost
While the experience may sound like a dream, it comes with a price tag. VIP Tours are priced between $450 to $900 per hour, with variations based on the season. It's important to note that valid park admission is required for each park visited during the tour and is not included in the tour price. However, for those seeking an unparalleled Disney adventure, the investment promises memories that last a lifetime.
