The Genesis of Four Seasons Yachts
Years in the making, Four Seasons Yachts was born from the desire to bring the extraordinary hospitality of Four Seasons to the shorelines of the world’s most exciting and desirable destinations. This new venture brings together an unparalleled group of industry titans, united in the shared goal of creating the pinnacle of yachting in a league of its own. Put simply, Four Seasons Yachts will offer a luxury travel experience like no other.
Since inception, our guiding framework has been the same precedent set by Four Seasons Founder and Chairman, Isadore Sharp: a steadfast commitment to following the Golden Rule in treating others with kindness along with a dedication to holding ourselves to the highest standards.
Crafted by world-renowned shipbuilder Fincantieri of Italy with interiors by Tillberg of Sweden and creative direction by Prosper Assouline, our new yacht is thoughtfully designed to anticipate guests' every want and need.
Connoisseurs may recognize one source of design inspiration for the ship: the legendary superyacht Christina O, once owned by Aristotle Onassis and enjoyed by global celebrities and notables alike, including his wife Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
This is luxury yachting at its finest. Enjoy the journey.
