Four Seasons, in partnership with luxury yachting company Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd. and venerated Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, has continued to build momentum towards the inaugural journey of Four Seasons Yachts. The venture brings together an unparalleled group of partners: Nadim Ashi and Philip Levine, entrepreneurs and bold visionaries of this distinctive yacht experience, paired with Four Seasons luxury hospitality leadership.
President and CEO of Four Seasons, Alejandro Reynal, said Four Seasons Yachts represent a key pillar of the company’s future growth and strategic vision to capitalise on new opportunities and build brand differentiation through immersive luxury experiences.
"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, personalised service that our guests know and love," said Reynal.
Setting sail in late 2025, the vessel will be the first in the Four Seasons Yachts fleet. With a signed contract for constructing the second Four Seasons vessel with Fincantieri to be delivered in late November 2026, the second vessel's order is worth more than EUR 400 million.
The first Four Seasons Yacht will feature 95 suites with a custom design focused on removing barriers between guests, the sea, and their surroundings. To enjoy outdoor yachting moments, each suite features extensive terrace decks ranging from 100 square feet (9.3 square metres) for the deluxe suite, to nearly 5,000 square feet (457 square metres) for the Funnel Suite, which will be the Yacht's most expansive accommodation. With an all-suite, residential-style product, the Yacht will set a new standard for privacy and a guest-centric layout. From the vessel's waterline to the top deck, the unequalled sea-to-sky design features will offer standout and unparalleled Four Seasons experiences.
Another design first is the Yacht's bespoke onboard transverse marina, which will allow guests easy access to a world of water sports filled with state-of-the-art water toys in ports traditionally exclusive to privately owned yachts. Pushing the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship, the cutting-edge marina design features expansive openings across the vessel from port to starboard, offering large platforms and tiered lounging decks on both sides to maximise light and sea views while fostering visual and physical links - creating yacht moments with the magnificence of the sea. Some watersport facilities include canoe decks, sailing, snorkelling and windsurfing activities.
Driven by the need to manage extraordinary demand with scarcity of inaugural inventory, priority access to reserve Yacht voyages is being distributed by invitation-only, beginning with loyal Four Seasons guests and valued travel partners. Equally as important, this distribution approach acknowledges and cares for Four Seasons patrons and their qualified luxury travel advisors in a manner deserving of their loyalty and commitment to the brand.
President and CEO of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd, Larry Pimentel, said that testing the waters has been key to the development.
"When we launched Four Seasons Yachts in Monaco this time last year, we were humbled by the tremendous response and excitement about the offering, which sparked unprecedented interest in this stunning project," said Pimentel.
The 2025/26 inaugural season ushers in the start of extraordinary yachting itineraries offered throughout winter and spring in the Caribbean. The Yacht will then return to the Mediterranean to cruise iconic yachting locales, from the French and Italian Rivieras to the Adriatic coastline and Greek Isles. The average journey will be seven days, affording back-to-back voyages of 21 days with distinct daily deployments. The first year's planning represents 33 countries, 137 unique destinations, and 76 late-night evenings and/or overnights. Unique Four Seasons pre-and-post hotel and overland programs are in development and will be unveiled soon.
