As it prepares to set sail in 2026, Four Seasons I, the inaugural vessel in the Four Seasons Yachts collection, reveals a closer look at its innovative marina design and immersive seaside programming. At the heart of this maritime vision is a pioneering transverse marina that opens outward on both sides of the yacht, offering guests rare, direct access to the water at sea level.
The transverse marina represents a significant evolution in yacht architecture. Equipped with two retractable platforms, one portside and one starboard, along with an expansive indoor bar and lounge area, the space extends across the full width of the vessel. On select Marina Days, this area can expand to 676 square metres (7,275 square feet), transforming into a hub for watersports, wellness activities, dining, and relaxation. The design reflects a commitment to delivering highly personalized yachting experiences.
Programming will be featured on designated Marina Days throughout most itineraries, with carefully chosen locations including Mayreau Island and Soufrière Bay in the Caribbean, as well as the Gulf of Squillace and Monte Argentario in the Mediterranean. These stops focus on secluded and scenic coastal areas, allowing guests to enjoy calm, remote waters in an atmosphere of tranquility.
Unlike traditional aft-positioned marinas, the transverse design enhances both versatility and access to the sea while improving overall vessel stability. The multi-deck space accommodates up to 105 guests across indoor and outdoor zones, which include a bar, lounge, and a retractable platform complete with a sea pool and sun loungers. The extendable watersports dock adds another 351 square metres (3,778 square feet) of space, enabling a wide array of aquatic activities with immediate water access.
When the yacht is at anchor on Marina Days, the area becomes a dynamic floating venue. Mornings begin with wellness programming such as yoga sessions on deck, followed by smoothies and guided meditation. As the day progresses, the marina transforms into a vibrant social space, where guests can enjoy craft cocktails and sweeping views of pristine bays and coves.
Recreational options are extensive. Fitness enthusiasts may engage in electric hydrofoil rides or water biking, while those seeking a gentler experience can choose from kayaks, inflatable waterboards, or pedalboards, ideal for independent exploration along coastal shores. For a more tranquil experience, guests can unwind in the protected sea water dipping pool embedded within the marina platform.
The onboard Grand Touring Experience adds a refined layer to exploration. Two bespoke vessels, the Limo Tender and the Beachlander, provide stylish and convenient access to destinations while at anchor or in select ports. The Limo Tender is a fully serviced 10 metre (32 foot) vessel designed for personalized outings, from romantic escapes to private group adventures, all led by a dedicated captain. Meanwhile, the Beachlander, also a 10 metre (32 foot) vessel, offers high speed access to exclusive beach clubs, snorkeling sites, and hidden coves.
Set to embark on its maiden voyages in 2026, Four Seasons I signals a new chapter in ultra luxury maritime travel. Full itineraries and additional details are available at www.fourseasonsyachts.com.
