Four Seasons Yachts has marked the successful completion of the sea trials of the new Four Seasons I, which is currently being finished at Fincantieri.

“The results of these trials speak to the level of craftsmanship and technical rigour behind Four Seasons I,” said Ben Trodd, CEO, Four Seasons Yachts. “Seeing the yacht perform as intended gives us real confidence as we move into the final stages ahead of welcoming our first guests.”

Over five days at sea off the shipyard in Ancona, Italy, the yacht underwent more than 60 rigorous evaluations, including propulsion, navigation, mechanical, electrical, safety, environmental and comfort-system tests, culminating in a six-hour endurance run at full power.

The results validated the yacht’s technical integrity, operational stability and seaworthiness, confirming that Four Seasons I meets the highest standards of performance and reliability expected of a vessel in its class, the company said in a press release.

A second set of sea trials is scheduled for later this month,
