Four
Seasons Yachts has revealed new details about its highly anticipated Marina Day
Experience, set to launch with the debut of Four Seasons I in 2026. This
pioneering concept introduces a transverse marina — a first in yacht design —
that spans both sides of the vessel, placing guests directly at sea level for
immersive, luxurious water-based experiences.
A
Seaside Sanctuary with Unmatched Access
The
transverse marina features two retractable platforms (port and starboard),
alongside an expansive indoor bar and lounge, creating up to 676 square metres
(7,275 sq. ft.) of waterfront space. On designated Marina Days — planned on
most Mediterranean and Caribbean itineraries — this space becomes a haven for
wellness, water sports, fine dining, and relaxation in serene, secluded
destinations like Soufrière Bay (St. Lucia), Mayreau Island, and Italy’s Monte
Argentario.
Guests
can enjoy everything from early morning yoga and smoothies to afternoon
cocktails and panoramic sea views. Activities include electric hydrofoil rides,
water biking, kayaking, pedalboarding, and lounging in a protected sea pool —
all designed to foster a deep connection with the ocean.
Game-Changing
Yacht Architecture
Departing
from traditional aft marinas, the transverse design allows for superior
stability, versatility, and ocean access. The two-deck structure hosts up to
105 guests in a blend of indoor elegance and open-air freedom, complete with
lounge chairs, a sea pool, and a fully extendable watersports dock adding
another 351 square metres (3,778 sq. ft.) of experiential space.
Crafted
by Tillberg Design of Sweden, the marina’s interior mirrors the yacht’s refined
residential aesthetic. Inspired by the terraces of the French Riviera, the
space is both functional and stylish. “We designed the marina to blur the line
between yacht and sea, casual elegance and cutting-edge comfort,” said Fredrik
Johansson, Executive Director of Tillberg Design.
Exclusive
Grand Touring Options: Limo Tender & Beachlander
To
complement the Marina Days, Four Seasons I introduces the Grand Touring
Experience — two tailored sea excursions designed for exploration in style:
Limo
Tender: A private, 10-metre luxury vessel offering bespoke day tours with a
captain and full onboard service — perfect for romantic getaways or group
adventures.
Beachlander:
A high-speed Ribeye vessel designed for thrill-seekers, providing direct access
to exclusive beach clubs, snorkeling sites, and hidden coves.
A
New Era of Yachting Excellence
“These
marina days will elevate the yachting experience to something entirely new,”
said Tim Littley, VP of Itinerary and Planning at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings
LTD, joint owner/operator of Four Seasons Yachts. “From paddleboarding along
pristine shores to sipping champagne on a floating deck, Four Seasons I will
offer moments of adventure, serenity, and discovery that truly define
next-generation luxury cruising.”
Four
Seasons I sets sail in 2026, promising to redefine ultra-luxury at sea — where
every moment meets the water’s edge.
