As Four Seasons ventures into maritime luxury with the introduction of Four Seasons Yachts, targeting discerning travellers seeking to elevate their travel experiences by embracing the elegance of contemporary sea voyages.

In partnership with luxury yachting firm Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, the Four Seasons is constructing a 679-foot yacht boasting 95-suites, each with a terrace. Include one of the most expansive pools found at sea, personalized sea limousines for coastal excursions, and 11-diverse restaurant and bar options. Additionally, plans are already underway for a second (in 2026) and third (in 2027) yacht too.
Led by innovators
Several notable figures are driving this exciting new venture. Including Four Seasons founder and highly decorated hotelier, Isadore Sharp. In collaboration with leading shipbuilding group Fincantieri will contribute its innovative engineering and technology to craft premium vessels for Four Seasons Yachts, with industry expert Larry Pimentel, and luxury entrepreneurs Nadim Ashi and Philip Levine leading the project. Renowned architects Tillberg Design of Sweden and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio based in London, known for their work with prestigious venues like Annabel’s and many of London’s top restaurants, will oversee the exteriors and suite designs, with creative direction from Prosper Assouline.
“Four Seasons Yachts represents a key pillar of our future growth and strategic vision, as we look to capitalize on new opportunities and build brand differentiation through immersive luxury experiences,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO, Four Seasons. “The inaugural Yacht is a manifestation of this vision, offering a world-class Four Seasons experience, at sea and on land, marked by the genuine, personalized service that our guests know and love.”

The pool deck
Boasting what they say is one of the largest pools at sea. Spanning a vast 20-meters wide, the saltwater pool offers ample opportunities for relaxation and leisure, doubling as an outdoor theatre and venue for events.
The suites
Each of the 95-generously sized suites will provide floor-to-ceiling windows and entry to large private terrace decks. This Four Seasons yacht’s most spacious penthouse suite, is called the Funnel Suite, and spans over 9,500-sqft across 4-levels, features a private spa and wading pool, 5,000-sqft terrace and 280-degree panoramic vistas through what is said to be the largest single pane of glass at sea (that cost a whopping, $4.5M).
The design
Tillberg Design is credited with crafting the mindboggling yacht’s design, which leans more towards a megayacht aesthetic rather than that of a cruise ship. Apart from the funnel, another striking exterior feature is the 66-foot-long swimming pool, reminiscent of the iconic superyacht Christina O from the 1960s. This legendary vessel played host to numerous world-renowned politicians and Hollywood celebrities.
The vessel is being constructed by the Italian shipyard Fincantieri. Technological advancements will include what the company terms as the world’s inaugural “variable-speed diesels,” advanced stabilization, and the capability to transition to eco-friendly methane power as the technology progresses. The shipyard has examined over 1,000-hull shapes to determine the most effective performance.
The amenities
The first Four Seasons megayacht will feature 2-marinas, which can be unfolded from opposite sides of the vessel to allow guests access to launches or participate in water sports.
The dining options
Every aspect of the dining and social spaces, from finely brewed coffee to intricately prepared sushi or a refreshing glass of Champagne on the deck, has been thoughtfully curated. Offering 11-dining and bar options onboard, that pay homage to Four Seasons’ legacy of culinary creativity and dedication to meeting guest preferences, all complemented by breathtaking sea vistas.
The spa
Offering a holistic approach to health and well-being through our extensive spa services, salon treatments, and wellness activities. The yacht will be equipped with a full-service spa, salon and wellness programme.
Sustainability focused
With a focus on sustainability, the vessel will prioritize the use of eco-friendly fuels, emissions-free energy sources, and exceed international standards for air emissions. Future plans include the integration of additional cutting-edge green technologies.
With unmatched access to the sea. The Four Seasons yacht showcases a unique transverse marina, stretching from one side to the other. Floating docks extend, increasing outdoor space and enhancing guest access to numerous water-based activities.
