Four Seasons Yachts To Launch as Invite Only
by Dori Saltzman /We’re still more than two years away from the first Four Seasons Yacht vessel setting sail, but demand is already high enough that the company has decided to open on an invitation-only basis.
“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…” the company said in a press release.
“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 Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, Ltd., the joint owner and operator of Four Seasons Yachts.
Priority access to inaugural Yacht voyages will start with loyal Four Seasons guests and high-level Four Seasons travel advisors. They will be serviced by a dedicated division of yacht consultants via a by-appointment system. (A waitlist for the inaugural season is available at www.fourseasonsyachts.com.)
“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,” the press release continued.
The first Four Season Yachts vessel sets sail in late 2025, with a second scheduled for November 2026. Each yacht will have 95 suites, each featuring expansive terrace decks ranging from 100 square feet to nearly 5,000 square feet in the massive four-level Funnel Suite. (The total size of the Funnel Suite is more than 9,500 square feet.)
Each Four Seasons Yachts vessel will also feature a transverse marina that allows guests easy access to the water from several spots on the yacht and offers large platforms and tiered lounging. Additionally, the pool deck will boast a 66-foot-long saltwater pool, one of the largest at sea. Inside the ship, guests will find a lounge area outfitted with a stylish bar and dedicated al fresco seating areas.
Rentable custom crafted “sea limousines,” designed for transfers and coastal touring, along with a pair of beach landers are also part of the vessel’s signature marina experience (accessible in most anchor ports).
The 2025/26 inaugural season begins in the Caribbean before moving to the Mediterranean to visit iconic yachting locales including the French and Italian Rivieras, the Adriatic coastline, and Greek Isles. In total, the yacht’s inaugural season will visit 33 countries, representing 137 unique destinations, and 76 late night evenings and/or overnights. The average sailing will be seven days, but can be booked back-to-back to create voyages of 21 days with distinct daily deployments.
