The sea, it seems, is not enough. Not for Four Seasons, anyway. As the hospitality giant prepares to launch its inaugural Four Seasons I yacht in 2026, it’s making waves not just for the ship itself—but for what unfolds just off the starboard (and port) side.
Introducing the Marina Day experience: a floating Riviera fantasy that promises sunrise smoothies, underwater scooters, and enough teak-and-carbon-fibre charm to impress Poseidon himself. The key innovation? A transverse marina, which trades the traditional aft access for a bold, cross-yacht concept. It’s a design that’s as architectural as it is theatrical—a private cove, engineered.
But while this floating playground may be anchored in elegance, one can’t help but wonder: in the quest to do it all, are we in danger of over-curating even the spontaneity of the sea?

Beyond the Infinity Pool: A Sea-Level Statement
Set across 676 square metres (or 7,275 square feet, for the imperially inclined), the new marina is an ambitious mash-up of seaside resort, aquatic gym, and private club lounge. Equipped with retractable platforms on both sides, it allows for direct access to turquoise waters and white-gloved service from nearly every angle.
From morning yoga overlooking Mayreau to sunset cocktails bobbing off Monte Argentario, this isn’t just a marina—it’s a manifestation of lifestyle. Or, as Fredrik Johansson of Tillberg Design of Sweden puts it, “casual elegance, inspired by the dining terraces of the South of France.” Think less sailing, more Saint-Tropez with stabilizers.

Experiences on Tap — Literally and Figuratively
Here’s a taste of what the lucky few will enjoy on dedicated Marina Days, when the yacht anchors in hand-picked postcard coves:
-Smoothie-fueled meditation before breakfast
-Electric hydrofoil rides for the Bond-curious
-Guided paddleboard tours for the boho-inclined
-Sea pool dips for those who prefer their wild swims chlorinated by nature
-A floating lounge that pivots from morning calm to cocktail-hour chic
-A resident bartender serving spritzes with a side of salty air
It’s a lineup that could make even the Amalfi Coast blush—and with 105 guests max on board, elbow room is never an issue.
