Four Seasons Yachts is offering its exclusive four-story Funnel Suite aboard Four Seasons I for $350,000 per week in the Mediterranean and $320,000 in the Caribbean. The luxurious suite, which spans nearly 10,000 square feet within the vessel’s glass-enclosed funnel, features three bedrooms, a terrace with a splash pool, and stunning 280-degree views, accommodating up to five adults. The listed price is for the entire suite, not per person, with some guests booking it for multiple weeks.
Notably, the suite allows for customization—one group even requested to bring their private chef, and the Loft Suite comes with a kitchen. The demand for such high-end accommodations is strong, according to Nils Lindstad, VP of Business Development and Sales Excellence at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, joint owner and operator of Four Seasons Yachts. He highlighted that the top seven signature suites aboard Four Seasons I are the brand’s hottest sellers.
Exclusive Suite Bookings and Limited Inventory
Four Seasons I launched with a by-invitation-only sales model due to its limited inventory, with just 95 suites aboard the 34,000gt, 679-foot vessel. According to Lindstad, the launch was a success, with priority-access holders securing early bookings. The yacht’s sales continue to be robust, with new itineraries available through January 2027.
Lindstad’s personal favorite is the Loft Suite, a two-story accommodation that spans 8,000 square feet and accommodates six adults. Located at the aft of the yacht, it offers sweeping views and ample space. However, for those who need even more room, the Funnel Suite offers a larger, 10,000-square-foot space. Many of the suites can also connect horizontally or vertically, further enhancing their spaciousness.
Who’s Booking the Four Seasons Yacht?
Four Seasons I initially attracted Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts guests, private jet clients, and other ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking a luxury alternative to traditional cruises. Since opening bookings to the general public, Lindstad noted that the buzz around the yacht continues to build. The typical clientele includes high-net-worth individuals, mostly in their early 50s, with a majority coming from North America, followed by guests from the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Many of these guests are private yacht owners, with couples being the primary bookers. However, families are also reserving accommodations, particularly for the yacht’s 120-square-foot inside studio suites, which are often used by nannies, personal assistants, or bodyguards.
All-inclusive Breakfast, Dining Costs Extra
Like a Four Seasons hotel, Four Seasons I offers breakfast as part of the stay, but additional meals, snacks, and beverages come at an extra cost. Guests are advised to budget approximately $250 per person per day for food and beverages, excluding breakfast and dining for children under five.
Eleven Dining Options Aboard the Yacht
The yacht boasts an impressive 11 restaurants and bars, each offering a unique culinary experience. Sedna, the fine-dining venue, hosts rotating master chefs from Four Seasons’ global portfolio, offering a mix of modern French cuisine with international influences. Other dining options include:
Champagne & Caviar: A sophisticated adults-only bar overlooking the pool deck, offering a selection of rare caviar and salmon.
Terrasse: Mediterranean-inspired fare with a focus on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients.
Miuna: An intimate sushi haven featuring an omakase experience for just 16 diners.
Pistachio: The go-to spot for pastries, gelato, and artisan coffee.
For relaxation, guests can unwind at the Salon, which serves as the yacht’s “living room,” offering a range of all-day dining options. The poolside Bar Piscine offers Mediterranean-inspired bites and cocktails, while the Horizon Lounge, with its plunge pool, serves as the perfect place for sunset views and evening stargazing.
Exploring Exclusive Yacht Harbors
Four Seasons I will visit some of the world’s most exclusive yacht harbors, such as Göcek in Turkey, known for its picturesque coves and crystal-clear waters, and Yalıkavak, which boasts one of the Mediterranean’s top super-yacht marinas. The yacht will also make history with a Caribbean debut at Norman’s Cay in the Exumas—an unspoiled island with a fascinating history of pirates, filmmakers, and marine biologists.
Tim Littley’s Role in Curating Unique Itineraries
Lindstad credits Tim Littley, VP of Itinerary Planning at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, for helping shape the yacht’s exceptional route. Drawing from his extensive experience with luxury cruise lines, Littley sought out destinations that traditional cruise ships don’t visit, ensuring the yacht’s itinerary features hidden gems, including secluded coves and protected harbors. This allows guests to enjoy water sports regardless of weather conditions.
Bookings for 2026 and Beyond
Despite Four Seasons I not entering service until January 2026, several itineraries have already sold out. These include a five-night Greek Isles voyage and two nine-night Mediterranean programs, which will visit Greece, Malta, and Croatia. Additionally, bookings for the 2026 Christmas and 2027 New Year’s cruises are filling up quickly. While 2027 charter requests are already being accepted, the yacht’s team is focused on ensuring the inaugural season runs smoothly before accommodating charter groups.
Travel Advisor Support and Unique Pricing Model
Four Seasons Yachts works closely with travel advisors, offering a user-friendly booking platform and clear commission structures. Lindstad emphasized that the yacht’s pricing model is distinct from traditional cruises. While breakfast, gratuities, water sports, Wi-Fi, and government taxes are included, lunch, dinner, and alcoholic beverages are extra, providing guests with more flexibility and the opportunity to dine ashore at some of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Sea Trials and Final Preparations for Launch
Four Seasons I is scheduled for sea trials in July, ahead of its official delivery in November. Lindstad, who was present at the yacht’s float-out ceremony at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard, expressed his excitement for the upcoming launch. The yacht will undergo rigorous testing and fine-tuning to ensure that it offers a flawless experience for its first guests.
