Traveling on a super yacht is one of the best and most luxurious travel experiences! With a high crew-to-passenger ratio (about 85 crew to max 100 passengers—there are just 50 total passenger cabins), this kind of travel makes you feel like it’s your own personal vessel. Several PebbleCreek residents, and our very own Director of Activities, have gone on one of these yachts. If you have any questions, ask around or stop in to see Traci, she loves sharing her stories and photos of her travel on the Mediterranean on an Emerald Super Yacht.
