About Emerald
Originally launched in 1990 and comprehensively refitted in 2023, the 165ft (50m) Emerald by Feadship combines proven naval architecture with contemporary interiors and updated systems. Her 6 staterooms – 1 King, 3 Queen, 4 Single – sleep 12 guests in comfort, while day charters accommodate 12. A seasoned crew of 10 ensures smooth operations and attentive service.
Refined Comfort
The 2023 refit brought Emerald up to current standards, and it shows in every detail. Stabilizers keep the yacht rock-steady at anchor and underway at 12 knots, making her a particularly good choice for guests who value calm conditions aboard. The Deck Jacuzzi, a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, an on-board gym, and a spa, and thoughtfully designed social spaces give the yacht a resort-quality feel while retaining the intimacy of a private vessel. Updated finishes throughout the interior provide a welcoming retreat after each day’s adventures.
Toys & Tenders
With 11 water toys stowed aboard, Emerald turns every anchorage into an activity hub. The lineup includes two jet skis, three Seabobs F5, two SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, two kayaks, towable inflatables, and a water slide, while the 22ft Williams tender provides quick access to hidden beaches and reef snorkeling spots. All equipment is maintained and set up by the crew – guests simply step in and go.
