Checking In: Four Seasons I, Yachts

Four Seasons I, Yachts

A new horizon for modern yachting, Four Seasons I marks a decisive shift in how luxury is experienced at sea.

Purpose-built and shaped entirely around the guest, the 207-metre vessel translates Four Seasons hospitality into a maritime setting with a level of precision rarely seen in yachting. Residential in feel and intentionally intimate in scale, Four Seasons I carries just 95 suites, each designed with generous indoor-outdoor living and uninterrupted connection to the surrounding sea.

Design draws from the golden age of yachting, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Light, space and proportion take priority, with floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive terraces and a constant dialogue between interior and horizon. The result is not a cruise, but a moving private residence, guided by service, discretion and the quiet rhythm of the water.

Voyages

Each voyage is designed as a curated passage through some of the world’s most compelling coastlines, with itineraries that balance iconic ports with lesser-seen harbours.

The inaugural Mediterranean season traces a route through Saint-Tropez, Bodrum, the Greek Isles and the Croatian coast, alongside quieter enclaves such as Hydra and Montenegro. These journeys move beyond conventional port-hopping, favouring slower, more deliberate exploration shaped around access, timing and individual preference.

In winter, routes transition to the Caribbean and Bahamas, where turquoise waters and secluded anchorages shift the tone from cultural immersion to barefoot ease. Across all voyages, bespoke Shore and Sea Experiences are tailored in advance, allowing each itinerary to reflect the interests of the guest rather than a fixed schedule. From private cultural encounters to remote coastal explorations, each journey unfolds differently.

At sea, the transverse marina transforms the vessel into a floating waterfront, opening across both sides to create direct access to the water for swimming, water sports and open-air leisure. Marina Days pause the journey, allowing the Yacht to settle into remote bays where the destination becomes the moment itself.

Cabins

Expansive terraces, uninterrupted views and a level of space rarely experienced on a vessel.

Accommodation aboard Four Seasons I is conceived entirely as suites, with no interior cabins and a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio supporting a highly personalised experience. Each suite is residential in scale, with expansive terraces, natural light and layouts designed to feel open, private and considered.

Materials and finishes reflect a refined maritime palette, with soft tones, bespoke furnishings and a consistent emphasis on space and flow. The design language avoids excess, focusing instead on proportion, craftsmanship and the quality of light.

At the upper end, the Funnel Suite offers nearly 10,000 square feet of forward-facing living, with panoramic views framed by sweeping glass. At the opposite end of the vessel, the Loft Suite introduces an expansive aft terrace and a more social, open-plan layout. Across all categories, the intention remains the same: to create a space that feels more like a private residence than a cabin at sea.

Dining

Michelin-led residencies, 11 distinct venues and a culinary programme shaped by place and season.

Culinary direction aboard Four Seasons I positions the Yacht as a destination in its own right. Eleven restaurants and lounges create a dining landscape that moves fluidly throughout the day, from relaxed daytime settings to more immersive evening experiences.

At the centre is Sedna, home to a rotating Chef-in-Residence series featuring Michelin-starred talent from across the Four Seasons portfolio. Each residency introduces a distinct culinary perspective, shaped by season, location and individual craft. Menus are designed as experiences rather than offerings, with tasting journeys that reflect both place and technique.

Elsewhere, dining spans Mediterranean seafood, omakase-style intimacy and more relaxed social spaces. Horizon Bar, with its open-air design and plunge pool, anchors daytime gatherings, while Bar O offers a quieter, more intimate setting for cocktails and rare spirits. Across the Yacht, the approach remains consistent: considered, seasonal and grounded in a strong sense of place, even while in motion.

Wellness

L’Oceana Spa, advanced therapies and daily practices that support restoration and longevity.

Wellness centres around an ongoing practice rather than a single experience. L’Oceana Spa anchors this philosophy, drawing on the five elements of vitality and the restorative qualities of the sea to shape a holistic approach to wellbeing.

Facilities include a hammam, thermal circuit, sauna, aromatic steam and cold therapies, alongside advanced treatments such as cryotherapy, infrared therapy and hydrotherapy. Each element is designed to support recovery, longevity and balance across the duration of the voyage.

Beyond the spa, wellness extends across the vessel. Sunrise yoga on deck, guided meditation, breathwork and personalised fitness sessions integrate seamlessly into daily life on board. A dedicated reflection lounge offers space for stillness, while tailored wellness menus ensure that nutrition aligns with individual preferences and goals. The overall experience is measured, intentional and quietly immersive, shaped as much by the surrounding sea as by the treatments themselves.
