Four Seasons Yachts Guide: Suites, Inclusions and What to Expect
Four Seasons I brings the service and residential feel of a Four Seasons resort to a 95-suite yacht. The experience is designed for travelers who value space, privacy, personalized service, and a closer connection to the water.
Four Seasons Yachts is not simply a familiar hotel name placed on a conventional cruise ship. Four Seasons I is a 679-foot yacht with a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, eleven restaurants and lounges, a transverse marina, and suites that begin at 537 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor space.
Residential rather than conventional
Every accommodation is designed around private outdoor space, generous living areas, floor-to-ceiling views, and a calm hotel-inspired atmosphere.
Service, space, and water access
A one-to-one service ratio, a yacht marina, flexible connecting suites, and warm-weather itineraries shape the onboard experience.

What makes Four Seasons I different?
The strongest distinction is not one feature by itself. It is the way the yacht combines Four Seasons hospitality with residential suites and a yachting-style connection to the sea. Panoramic glass, private terraces, open deck areas, and smaller-scale destinations are central to the experience.
A one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio
Four Seasons says the yacht will operate with one staff member for every guest. That does not mean a staff member is assigned exclusively to each traveler, but it supports the attentive, intuitive style of service associated with Four Seasons hotels.
A marina that opens at water level
The transverse marina opens on both the port and starboard sides while the yacht is anchored. It creates an uninterrupted water-level space across the vessel and serves as a launch point for marina watersports.
More than 100 connecting suite configurations
An innovative wall system allows suites to connect and expand in many combinations. That makes Four Seasons I relevant not only to couples, but also to extended families, groups of friends, and milestone celebrations.
How large are the suites?
Four Seasons says its 95 suites provide 50% more living space per guest than the industry standard. Even the entry Seaview category begins at 537 square feet when indoor and private outdoor space are combined.
| Representative suite | Combined space | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Seaview Suite | 537–613 sq. ft. | Private terrace, marble bathroom, and connecting possibilities |
| Superior Seaview Suite | 807–893 sq. ft. | Larger living area, walk-in closet, and expansive terrace |
| Ocean Suite | 893–1,011 sq. ft. | Separate living room, soaking tub, sleeper sofa, and terrace |
| Grand Ocean Mid Suite | 1,012–1,140 sq. ft. | One bedroom, L-shaped terrace, dining space, and room for families |
| Saint Barths Suite | 2,981 sq. ft. | Two bedrooms, wraparound views, and a terrace with splash pool |
| Funnel Suite | 9,975 sq. ft. | Four levels, three bedrooms, private elevator, kitchen, gym, steam room, and splash pool |
The published totals combine indoor and private outdoor space. Terrace size, occupancy, location, and connecting options vary, so the best suite is not automatically the largest or most expensive category.
The Funnel Suite
The Funnel Suite is the yacht's largest and most distinctive accommodation. It spans four levels within the glass-enclosed funnel and includes 5,057 square feet indoors plus a 4,917-square-foot terrace.
- Three bedrooms
- Four full bathrooms and three powder rooms
- A private elevator and internal staircase
- A fully operational kitchen
- A private gym and steam room
- A large outdoor living area with a splash pool
- The ability to connect with additional suites
It is an extraordinary residence, but most travelers will be comparing the Seaview, Superior Seaview, Ocean, and Grand Ocean categories. Those suites still provide substantially more space than many travelers expect at sea.
What is there to do onboard?
The marina
Dedicated marina days place guests directly beside the water. The space opens across the yacht and supports swimming, relaxing, and watersport activities while the vessel is anchored.
The pool deck
The yacht's 65-foot pool sits within a 9,267-square-foot aft deck. A hydraulic lift can convert the pool area into a dance floor, runway, or event space.
Dining and lounges
Four Seasons I has eleven restaurants and lounges. The official brochure describes concepts ranging from champagne and caviar to Mediterranean dishes and familiar comfort food, with indoor, outdoor, and in-suite dining possibilities.
Wellness
The yacht includes a spa, treatment spaces, and a fitness center designed around cardio, strength training, stretching, and the familiar Four Seasons wellness approach.
Shoreside experiences
The brochure highlights experiences such as truffle hunting in Italy, golf near Saint-Tropez, helicopter access to Barbuda, and private-boat outings in the British Virgin Islands. These are examples of the more personalized destination style Four Seasons Yachts is trying to create.
What is included in the fare?
This is one of the most important sections to read before comparing Four Seasons Yachts with a highly inclusive luxury cruise line.
The official inaugural-season brochure lists the following as included:
- Breakfast in designated restaurants
- A selection of non-alcoholic beverages in select venues
- Access to onboard marina watersport offerings
- Onboard group exercise classes, subject to availability
- Complimentary dining for children age five and younger, excluding in-room dining
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Taxes and port fees
That does not make the product less luxurious. It means Four Seasons I should be compared on the complete trip cost, suite value, service, itinerary, and overall experience rather than the starting fare alone.
Where does Four Seasons Yachts sail?
The 2026-2027 inaugural collection includes 56 sailings across 34 distinct voyages. The program follows warm-weather yachting regions through the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Bahamas.
- Mediterranean and Greek island voyages
- Aegean and Adriatic itineraries
- French and Italian Riviera sailings
- Transatlantic crossings
- Caribbean island voyages
- Bahamas itineraries
Each inaugural voyage is scheduled to include a dedicated marina day. Select itineraries also include extended stays, multi-day destination visits, and opportunities to connect the yacht journey with Four Seasons properties.
Who should choose Four Seasons Yachts?
A strong fit if you want
- Four Seasons hotel-style service at sea
- Large suites and private outdoor space
- A smaller and quieter atmosphere
- Warm-weather yacht destinations
- Flexible connecting accommodations
- A first cruise that does not feel like a conventional large ship
Compare other options if you want
- The broadest possible all-inclusive fare
- Large theaters and extensive nightlife
- Water parks or resort-ship attractions
- Expedition landings and scientific programming
- A large fleet with many departure ports
- The lowest available starting fare
What should you compare before booking?
Four Seasons Yachts is new, and the brand name alone does not answer every planning question. Before placing a deposit, compare:
- The exact itinerary and amount of time in each destination
- Suite square footage, terrace size, location, and occupancy
- Connecting options for families or groups
- What is included in the fare for the selected voyage
- Dining plans and beverage expectations
- Shoreside experience pricing
- Airfare, transfers, hotels, and pre- or post-voyage arrangements
- Deposit and cancellation terms
- The total trip cost compared with other luxury yacht and cruise options
Four Seasons I may be the right answer, but it should still be compared with other luxury ocean cruises and hotel-branded yachts. Regent, Silversea, Seabourn, Crystal, Explora Journeys, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection each approach luxury differently.
