IWorld of Travel Launches Luxury Ship Charters for Pickleball Players
IWorld of Travel, a renowned tour operator, is set to launch new luxury ship charter products later this year targeting a rapidly growing niche in the travel industry – pickleball players. With the sport gaining immense popularity in recent years, the company has partnered with travel advisor and pickleball coach Riley Palmer to create two pickleball-themed luxury yacht excursions to Croatia and Greece.
According to a report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, over 13.8 million people in the U.S. played pickleball at least once in 2023, showcasing a significant increase from previous years. This surge in interest has prompted IWorld of Travel to tap into this market segment by offering unique experiences tailored to pickleball enthusiasts.
Palmer, who transitioned from playing pickleball to selling travel, has witnessed a substantial rise in demand for vacations catering to pickleball players. Her expertise in the sport and travel industry has led to the development of these specialized luxury yacht charters that combine the thrill of pickleball with the beauty of cruising through picturesque destinations.
The collaboration between IWorld of Travel and Palmer has resulted in the creation of exclusive itineraries that not only include pickleball experiences but also immerse travelers in the rich culture, history, and cuisine of Croatia and Greece. From floating pickleball courts to top-deck facilities on luxury yachts, these trips offer a blend of luxury and leisure for guests looking to indulge in a millionaire lifestyle for a week.
With full-boat sailings for 2025 already sold out, travel advisors are encouraged to plan ahead for 2026 to secure their spot on these sought-after pickleball charters. However, Palmer has limited space available for later this year in Croatia and Greece, providing an opportunity for advisors to book these unique experiences for their clients.
The pickleball-themed luxury yacht excursions by IWorld of Travel promise an unforgettable journey for pickleball enthusiasts seeking a mix of sport, relaxation, and exploration in some of the most stunning destinations in the world. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this growing trend in luxury travel tailored to the pickleball community.
