Have you ever dreamed of cruising through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by luxury and unparalleled service? I had the opportunity to embark on a journey aboard the Emerald Sakara Yacht and it exceeded every expectation I had.  


The Emerald Sakara is the cleanest vessel I have ever had the pleasure of sailing on. From the pristine decks to the spotless cabins, every inch of this yacht gleamed with perfection. I truly appreciated this and felt very comfortable throughout the journey. 


One of the unique features of the Emerald Sakara, is that all the employees on board got to know your name VERY quickly. This personal touch added an extra layer of warmth and familiarity to the impeccable service provided by the crew. I truly received the best I have ever experienced. The staff went above and beyond to cater to every need, ensuring that guests felt like royalty. 


Let's talk about the food!  As a vegan, I often struggle to find delicious and satisfying meals while traveling. I was blown away by the culinary delights that awaited me. The vegan options were not only plentiful but also incredibly delicious. The chefs onboard were very talented. The breakfast and lunch buffets offered a plethora of options, and the sit-down dinners featured a gourmet menu. Every meal was a culinary adventure. 


And let's not forget about the beverages. Beer and wine are complimentary. The other drinks were priced reasonably at around $6-$7. There's no need to worry about breaking the bank with a beverage plan. 


One of the standout features of the Emerald Sakara is its spaciousness. Unlike crowded cruise ships, this yacht offers plenty of room to relax and unwind. Whether you're lounging on deck or retreating to your luxurious cabin, you never felt crowded. 


Guests are treated to one complimentary tour. There were options available for the active and adventurous travelers and those interested in a more relaxed approach. All the excursions offered a unique glimpse into the beauty of each destination. One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to a private island, where guests could unwind in paradise away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 


Entertainment options included live music from a talented guitarist, informative port talks, and engaging activities hosted by the cruise director, including trivia and games. 


My experience aboard the Emerald Sakara was nothing short of magical. From the moment I stepped on board to the moment I reluctantly disembarked, I was treated to the epitome of luxury and relaxation.  


If you're looking for a truly unforgettable sailing experience, look no further than the Emerald Sakara Yacht.
