In 2026, Four Seasons inaugurated its first vessel, conceived to redefine luxury hospitality at sea. Combining the intimacy of a private yacht, the comfort of a residence, and the exceptional service culture of Four Seasons, Four Seasons Yachts I introduces a new vision for ultra-luxury cruising.

Our challenge was to create a contemporary interpretation of timeless luxury, inspired by the romance of the golden age of yachting and the intrigue of mid-century glamour. Elegant proportions, refined detailing, and carefully selected natural materials come together to create environments that are both sophisticated and welcoming.

The project brought together designers from different backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities, united by a shared ambition and complementary expertise. Through collaboration, creativity, and mutual trust, the team transformed a strong vision into a coherent and distinctive guest experience.

We immersed ourselves in the history of yacht design, the client’s vision, the expectations of future guests, and the principles of the world’s finest hospitality brands. Over several years, we challenged every assumption, refined every detail, and continuously pushed the concept further – exchanging ideas, debating solutions, celebrating successes, and learning from setbacks along the way.

The result is far more than a collection of beautifully designed spaces: it is a carefully crafted experience that makes every guest feel valued, cared for, and truly special – combining discovery and exclusivity with the warmth of home. This is the kind of project that only comes together through genuine collaboration – and the Four Seasons Yachts I Project Team’s ability to turn that collaboration into something guests will feel for years is why we’re putting them forward for Design Team of the Year.
