With great powers comes great responsibility, and with lots of money comes oodles of luxury. For $330,000, you’ll find yourself spending a week in the most opulent abode aboard the Four Seasons Yachts: the Funnel Suite. Excluding food, that kind of money will only grant you access to the nearly 10,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed suite. Everything else will come at an additional cost on the 679-foot floating goliath, which accommodates 700 passengers. It boasts 11 dining and lounge venues for your dining pleasure, but for $330,000, one can only expect breakfast, gratuities, coffee, and soda.
Considering this is a cruise, the pricing seems outlandish, even with the fancy Four Seasons flair omnipresent in the four-level suite with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The description of the Funnel Suite on the official website states, ‘Enjoy a sunset dip in your private splash pool, limber up in your outdoor gym, and enjoy unforgettable meals indoors or on your sprawling private terrace.’ However, it doesn’t mention that you’ll have to pay for those delicious meals separately, and the only mouth-watering thing served in the $330,000 package are the views.
Come 2026, the first Four Seasons Yacht will be sailing to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The first 10 unique voyages have been revealed, though the process of booking suites is still underway. According to Bloomberg, the reservation process will first be opened for frequent Four Seasons guests, with interested parties being asked to put down $10,000 per suite to join a waitlist. I guess when it’s the Four Seasons, even waiting doesn’t come cheap.
$330,000 can also get you a private yacht –
While the Funnel Suite does sound impressive, it cannot match the feeling one can get by chartering an entire luxury vessel. The Amels Galene, a 180-feet superyacht, can be chartered to cruise the Caribbean in winters and the Mediterranean in summers for the same weekly price.
The vessel packs an armada of state-of-the-art water toys and the expert crew know-how to help you get the most from them, something that is evidently missing in the Funnel suite. Moreover, instead of a butler or guest ambassador, aboard the Galene yacht, guests are looked after round the clock by 12 crew members. That’s a 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio on the chic boat with subtle art-deco flavors and well-appointed suites.
Of course, the accommodation may pale in lavishness compared to the Funnel Suite, but having a boat to yourself is an incomparable luxury that no suite or penthouse on a boat can beat.
The Galene Yacht comes with a splendid Jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds on the sundeck, several lounge areas, al fresco dining, a 98” flatscreen TV in the bridge deck salon. Galene will take you to the best of the Caribbean from Antigua to Saint Martin, St Vincent to Grenada, Deshaias to Le Gosier for $341,000 a week in summers and $300,000 weekly in winters. The vessel can be booked on Y.co.
