My co-founder and I attended the Radical Summit in Austin in 2024, and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The attendees were all expert in their roles, with influence at their organizations. Everyone welcomed us as members of the community, and we have been able to build relationships with several of the organizations represented.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting EB Yachts at the Summit... learned that they offer a unique perspective on custom yachting and travel planning that I was previously unaware of. They found time during the week to connect personally with me, and I was blown away by their professionalism and expertise. It was truly fascinating to learn about their company and and the tailored approach they take to vacation planning. As a result, I’ve already recommended EB Yachts to multiple people in my network.”
