Fincantieri 's shipyard in Ancona cut the steel for the first Four Seasons yacht , which is scheduled for delivery in November 2025.
“We are officially on our way to creating this ‘one-of-a-kind’ Four Seasons Yacht and this ceremonial button start will always be remembered as a much-loved milestone in the history of this elegant ship,” said Larry Pimentel, president and CEO, Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, co-owner and operator, Four Seasons Yachts.
“Four Seasons Yachts will be another incredible luxury journey for our guests, complementing our private jet and car experiences and leveraging the strength of our portfolio of iconic hotels and resorts around the world,” added Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO of Four Seasons.
The profile of the Four Seasons yacht was created from the first steel cut and was autographed by top executives.
Present at the Ancona shipyard were Thatcher Brown, Commercial and Joint Operations Director of Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings; Gilberto Tobaldi, Director of the Fincantieri shipyard; Damien O'Connor, Senior Vice President of Yacht Operations at Four Seasons Yachts; and Christian Urbat, Senior Vice President of Global Design Services at Four Seasons.
Also representing Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings were Jan Sorensen, Vice President of New Ships; John Polimenakos, Director of Information; Captain William Wright, Senior Maritime Advisor; and James Cabello, Head of Port Operations and Logistics.
With a very limited inventory of just 95 suites and high anticipated demand for a yachting experience, Four Seasons Yachts has created a priority-access, invitation-only booking model, starting with loyal Four Seasons guests and travel partners. Others can join a waiting list.
The yacht's first year will focus on the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, with cruises averaging seven days and options to combine trips of up to 21 days without repeating ports.
