In a first-of-its-kind endeavor, Four Seasons will launch the brand’s first yachts in partnership with industry leaders. The total investment will be approximately 1.2 billion euros – approximately R$ 6.2 billion, according to the current exchange rate of the European currency – and is expected to be launched in 2025.
The first Four Seasons vessel to be launched will combine personalized service with excellence and aims to attract the most demanding passengers for a unique travel experience.
“Four Seasons Yachts is the next chapter in our long history of innovation, as well as being a milestone for the company, which is always looking for opportunities to expand its operations”, said Christian Clerc, President of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
“We are guided by the ability to imagine new possibilities, while staying true to our values. And it is this vision that brings me to this project”, adds Clerc.
With its maiden voyage scheduled for the end of 2025, the group’s first yacht will be 207 meters long and 27 meters wide, with 14 decks. Each suite will receive an investment of US$ 4.2 million (about R$ 21.7 million) and a custom design.
The new project will be led by luxury travel industry entrepreneur Larry Pimentel. The project is partnered with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD and Italian builder Fincantieri.
“We are creating a new category in the industry that will bring out the most demanding guests. We brought together the best to arrive at an unprecedented concept of maritime travel, with world-class design, curated experiences and incomparable service”, says Pimentel.
“When we open in 2025, there will be nothing like it on the open seas. Our shipbuilding partnership with Fincantieri forms an unprecedented triumvirate of industry leaders,” he added.
The experience
Four Seasons Yachts will have suites offering 54 m² with indoor and outdoor environments. Each suite will have floor-to-ceiling windows and a ceiling height of 2.40 meters, valuing natural light and with access to spacious terraces. The vessel will also have the Funnel suite, a residence and another 899 m² that will also house a private pool and spa.
The project brings together a design team with internationally recognized names, such as Tillberg Design of Sweden, responsible for the exterior and suites, in addition to London-based Martin Brudnizki Design Studio for the common areas.
The restaurants, lounges and bars will celebrate the excellence and creativity that characterize the brand’s cuisine. Whether it’s a perfect cappuccino in the lobby or lunch overlooking the Mediterranean at the sushi bar, guests will always have the chance to have an unforgettable experience.
The Four Seasons Yacht will also offer a full-service spa, beauty and wellness salon, as well as a generous swimming pool and a deck to relax on the stern of the vessel. At night, the space transforms into a cinema under the stars and can also be reserved for private events.
The service also promises to be impeccable, with the highest staff-to-guest ratio providing a very personalized service.
