Four Seasons Yachts’ inaugural vessel, Four Seasons I, has embarked on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean, marking the company’s entry into sea travel with a purpose-built, all-suite yacht.
Four Seasons Yachts has launched its first vessel, Four Seasons I, which has begun its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean. The yacht is purpose-built and features an all-suite, residential-style design. The inaugural voyage is scheduled to set sail on March 20, 2026, coinciding with the 65th anniversary of the opening of the first Four Seasons hotel.
Four Seasons I spans 207 metres (679 feet) and contains 95 suites, all with indoor-outdoor living spaces and no interior cabins. The vessel is designed by Tillberg Design of Sweden, with social spaces by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, creative direction from Prosper Assouline, and construction by Fincantieri. The yacht maintains a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio.
Among the accommodations, the Funnel Suite measures nearly 10,000 square feet (929 square metres) and is located at the forward-facing prow, while the Loft Suite at the aft end offers an expansive terrace and measures nearly 8,000 square feet (743 square metres). Floor-to-ceiling windows, terraces, and integrated outdoor elements are included throughout the vessel.
Four Seasons I offers 11 restaurants and lounges, including Sedna, which will feature a Chef-in-Residence series with chefs from Michelin-starred Four Seasons restaurants. Participating chefs include Christian Le Squer, Luca Piscazzi, Guillaume Galliot, Yoric Tièche, and Paolo Lavezzini. Additional venues include Horizon Bar, which has a plunge pool and open-air design, and Bar O, which focuses on craft cocktails and rare spirits.
Wellness facilities on board are anchored by L’Oceana Spa, which offers treatments and amenities, including a hammam, a thermal circuit with sauna, aromatic steam, cold therapies, cryotherapy, infrared therapy beds, hydrotherapy, and advanced recovery treatments. Programming includes sunrise yoga, meditation, private breathwork sessions, personalized fitness training, and guided mindfulness practices. The spa also features a reflection lounge and wellness menus.
The vessel includes a transverse marina that opens across both sides, providing direct sea access, water sports, and recreational programming. Each voyage offers custom shore and sea experiences tailored to guests’ interests by the Four Seasons Yachts Experiences team.
For its inaugural season, Four Seasons I will operate Mediterranean itineraries that include ports such as Saint-Tropez, Bodrum, Hydra, Montenegro, the Greek Isles, and the Croatian coast. In its debut year, the yacht will offer 32 voyages across 52 sailings, visiting 130 destinations in more than 30 countries and territories in the Mediterranean during summer and the Caribbean and Bahamas in winter.
Isadore Sharp, Founder and Chairman of Four Seasons, and Rosalie Sharp have been named Godparents of Four Seasons I, in line with maritime tradition. The second vessel in the Four Seasons Yachts fleet, Four Seasons II, is planned to debut in 2027.
