Emerald Cruises and PerryGolf Bring Luxury Yacht Cruising to the Caribbean Golf Course
Luxury cruising is evolving, and for travelers who love golf as much as they love exploring the world, a new partnership is bringing those two passions together. Emerald Cruises has teamed up with PerryGolf to introduce two exclusive Caribbean golf voyages, combining the comfort of a luxury yacht with rounds of golf at some of the region’s most celebrated courses.
The seven-night sailings aboard Emerald Sakara offer a fresh take on the traditional golf vacation. Instead of choosing one resort as a home base, travelers can unpack once, enjoy life aboard a luxury yacht, and experience multiple Caribbean islands while playing some exceptional courses along the way.
A Luxury Caribbean Golf Vacation Unlike Any Other
The partnership between Emerald Cruises and PerryGolf brings together two companies with complementary expertise. Emerald Cruises is known for its intimate luxury yacht and river cruise experiences, while PerryGolf specializes in international golf travel.
Together, they are creating a vacation designed for travelers who appreciate outstanding golf, personalized service, and the opportunity to explore new destinations without the hassle of coordinating every detail themselves. Each sailing will include three rounds of golf at carefully selected courses across the Caribbean. With just 32 golfers permitted on each departure, the experience is designed to feel personal and exclusive rather than like a large group golf tour.
Three Exceptional Caribbean Golf Courses
The itinerary features three distinctive golf experiences, each offering its own setting and appeal.
Aurora International Golf Club – Anguilla
Anguilla provides a beautiful Caribbean setting for a round of golf. Aurora International Golf Club offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy the game while visiting one of the region’s most appealing island destinations.
Four Seasons Resort Nevis – Nevis
Golfers will play the Robert Trent Jones II-designed course at Four Seasons Resort Nevis. Set against the island’s dramatic natural scenery, this course adds a memorable golf experience to the voyage.
Royal Westmoreland – Barbados
The final featured course is Royal Westmoreland in Barbados, a celebrated golf destination that brings another outstanding Caribbean setting to the itinerary.
For golf enthusiasts, the opportunity to play three different courses across multiple islands is a major part of the appeal. Rather than spending an entire vacation at a single golf resort, guests can combine their time on the course with the experience of discovering the Caribbean by yacht.
The Convenience of a Luxury Yacht
One of the biggest advantages of this style of travel is the ability to visit several destinations while keeping the same accommodations throughout the journey. Guests will enjoy spacious all-suite accommodations, personalized service, gourmet dining, and the intimate atmosphere of a luxury yacht. Emerald Sakara also features an onboard marina platform and the ability to visit smaller ports that may be inaccessible to larger cruise ships.
That combination makes the experience particularly appealing for travelers who prefer smaller ships and a more relaxed approach to exploring a destination. Instead of managing hotel changes, ground transportation, and separate arrangements between islands, guests can return to their yacht after a day on the golf course and continue enjoying their vacation.
PerryGolf Takes Care of the Details
Planning a multi-destination golf vacation can involve considerable coordination. Tee times, equipment transportation, transfers, and course arrangements all need to come together smoothly. PerryGolf will manage the golf-related logistics for these voyages, including tee times, transportation between the yacht and the courses, equipment handling, player pairings, and on-site support.
An experienced PerryGolf host will accompany guests throughout the journey. One of the rounds will also feature a friendly competition with awards, adding a social element for travelers who enjoy a little camaraderie alongside their golf.
Meanwhile, Emerald Cruises will provide the onboard hospitality and luxury yacht experience. The result is a vacation designed to let guests focus on enjoying their time rather than worrying about the details.
When Can You Sail?
Two seven-night Caribbean golf voyages have been announced:
- December 4, 2027
- February 12, 2028
Both departures will sail aboard Emerald Sakara and include three rounds of golf. Participation is limited to 32 golfers per departure, with the golf programs packaged and operated exclusively by PerryGolf. For travelers considering one of these sailings, the limited group size makes early planning particularly worthwhile.
A Growing Trend in Luxury Travel
These new voyages reflect a broader trend in luxury travel: vacations built around personal interests and meaningful experiences. Today’s luxury travelers are increasingly looking for more than beautiful accommodations. They want opportunities to pursue their passions, discover new destinations, and enjoy experiences that feel thoughtfully curated.
Golf cruises are a natural fit for that approach. They bring together the appeal of a luxury cruise with access to memorable courses, while making it possible to explore multiple destinations in one trip. For couples or friends who enjoy golf, a sailing like this can also offer a balance of time on the course and time spent enjoying the ship, the destinations, and the Caribbean lifestyle.
Is a Caribbean Golf Cruise Right for You?
If you love golf and appreciate the convenience and comfort of luxury cruising, these new Emerald Cruises and PerryGolf voyages are worth considering. The combination of small-yacht sailing, three distinctive golf courses, personalized service, and a limited number of golfers creates an experience that stands apart from a traditional golf resort vacation. And for travelers who have already discovered the appeal of luxury cruising, this partnership offers another way to experience the world from the water while enjoying a favorite pastime.
