Four Seasons I, the hotel brand’s first superyacht, is a step closer to setting sail next year after five days of sea trials. Come for a look inside its most exclusive suite.
Four Seasons I has just undergone five days of ‘rigorous’ evaluations in Italy ahead of her first sailing in March 2026.
Four Seasons says the results “validated the yacht’s technical integrity, operational stability and seaworthiness, confirming that it meets the highest standards of performance and reliability expected of a vessel in its class”.
The trials also assessed comfort and guest-facing systems across suites and public areas, including vibration and noise levels, and climate control, “ensuring that the hallmark luxury, refinement and attention to detail synonymous with the Four Seasons brand is carried into every corner of the yacht”.
Among those suites is the ‘Funnel Suite’ housed within the vessel’s glass-enclosed funnel.
The largest and most exclusive suite, it has three bedrooms across four levels of living space with unimpeded sea views from panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows.
There’s also a dining table for six, private splash pool, outdoor gym, and sprawling private terrace.
Speaking after the trials, Four Seasons CEO Ben Trodd says, “seeing the yacht perform as intended gives us real confidence as we move into the final stages ahead of welcoming our first guests.”
Earlier this year, Four Seasons gave a sneak peek at the yacht’s two-deck marina experience.
The innovative ‘transverse marina’ opens across both sides of the yacht and “introduces a revolutionary concept in maritime architecture”.
The marina has two retractable platforms, one portside and one starboard; a bar, lounge, pool and lounge chairs.
The expansive platform will be the base for yoga, meditation and the launch pad for electric hydrofoils, water bikes, kayaks and inflatable waterboards.
The yacht will also have a ‘Limo Tender’ – a 10-metre vessel with personalised service and a private captain; and the 10-metre Beachlander – a high-speed boat designed to get into hidden coves and remote beaches.
Marina days will be held when the yacht is not sailing on most Mediterranean and Caribbean voyages.
