Emily Ruybal
Chef
Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, I grew up playing softball and spending summers at Lake of the Ozarks, where I developed a deep love for boating and life on the water. That passion eventually led me to Florida, where I got my start in the yachting industry in Fort Myers in 2021 in the same town my dad moved to when I was a freshman in high school. Since then, I’ve built a career rooted in hard work and a genuine enthusiasm for life on the water. I bring a positive, team-oriented attitude to every role and take pride in creating seamless, enjoyable experiences both on and off the vessel.
