Inside Ilma: Full Yacht Tour | The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Hello and welcome aboard Ilma. My name is João, I'm part of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection team and I'm delighted to take you on a beautiful yacht tour today. It's an experience I think you'll find unlike anything else on the water. If you're looking for the pinnacle of luxury travel, this is exactly where you belong. Ilma was launched in 2024 as the second super yacht of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and it is the world's first Forbes five-star ship. She blends the timeless elegance of the Ritz-Carlton hotels with the intimacy, freedom and spirit of a private yacht. We're currently in the living room, the space that lives up to its name. This is the heart of the yacht. Guests can gather here for cocktails, to enjoy live music daily or simply to unwind in a setting that feels warm, elegant and wonderfully residential. It is very social but never overwhelming. The living room cafe and bar is a warm, inviting gathering place throughout the day. Mornings begin with a freshly roasted coffee and pastries at the espresso counter while daytime brings treats ideal for moments between activities. As the evening settles in, this place becomes the perfect setting for a quiet drink or a light bite. The beach house has become one of our guests' favorite and it's really easy to see why. Chef Michael Mina's pan-latin menu brings bold, layered flavors that complement the setting perfectly. Whether your clients are enjoying a ceviche by the pool or grilled octopus as the sun sets, this is dining that feels effortless and unforgettable. It feels like a high-end beach club, easy, social and perfect for daytime or nighttime dining. A wonderful option for clients seeking variety and a laid-back atmosphere without sacrificing quality. The restaurant opens up to the luxurious beach house pool. Surrounded by casual elegance, it's an ideal setting for an afternoon cocktail or a light bite between excursions. Wellness on Bordeaux is calm, intentional and wonderfully private. Guests can enjoy treatments, sauna, fitness center and steam rooms all delivered with the same impeccable service standards you would expect from any Ritz-Carlton property. The Ritz-Carlton spa offers a full menu of treatments, massages, facials and rejuvenating therapies delivered in serene spaces with ocean views or the option to enjoy treatments al fresco. It's another way we help our guests return home feeling renewed. The fitness studio integrates movement and mindfulness with programming that includes sunrise yoga, stretch training and personalized sessions with skilled wellness coaches. Each voyage offers guests the opportunity to maintain their routines or discover new ones. Now let's talk about where clients will spend most of their time, in their suites. This is one of Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's greatest strengths. Every suite on Bordeaux features a private terrace overlooking the ocean, a rare luxury that defines the onboard experience. Each suite features spacious interiors and contemporary design that reflects a modern residential feel. Guests can enjoy expensive ocean views, beautifully appointed living areas and luxurious bathrooms designed with comfort and elegance in mind. This residential style layout is a key differentiator and allows guests to feel as though they are staying in a luxury waterfront residence rather than a traditional cruise cabin. Starting from the top, the owner's suite is the closest it gets to a private residence at sea. Expensive indoor living space flows on to the terrace that feels more like a private outdoor lounge, complete with a real pool, outdoor shower and dedicated dining area. It's ideal for clients accustomed to penthouses, villas or ultra luxury accommodations and who expect nothing less at sea. But what truly sets these suites apart is the service. A suite ambassador is available to every single guest anticipating their needs and personalizing the experience from embarkation to disembarkation. It's this level of attention that keeps guests coming back voyage after voyage. The Ilma suite truly celebrates the indoor outdoor lifestyle of yachting. With expensive terraces designed for lounging, dining or relaxing, they create an immersive connection with the destination. A wonderful choice for clients seeking a premium experience, a larger terrace while remaining mindful of the value. The concierge suite strikes a beautiful balance between space and sophistication. With generous indoor and outdoor areas, a thoughtfully designed living space and a seamless connection between the bedroom and the terrace, it's perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying more room to unwind. A natural upsell for clients who value space and comfort. As the name suggests, the View suite is all about perspective. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, creating a bright open atmosphere that keeps guests beautifully connected to the sea. Ideal for those design-focused travelers. Now on to our more standard suite categories. We have the Grand Suite, a strong well-balanced category. Spacious, refined and exceptionally comfortable with thoughtful touches like dual wardrobes and well-defined living space. One of the easiest categories to present and to sell. The Signature Suites are one of the most popular options on board and it offers a sophisticated layout with a dedicated dining area and a generous feel. Perfect for couples who want to elevate comfort without stepping into the top tier pricing. The Terrace Suite is our entry-level space and they deliver something truly special. These suites offer a private terrace, elegant finishes and the full-on Ritz-Carlton experience. What's considered entry-level here would already feel exceptionally premium anywhere else. Dining on board Yuma reflects the destinations themselves. With six restaurants and seven bars, every meal becomes an occasion. Our culinary philosophy is inspired by the destinations we visit and emphasize fresh seasonal ingredients and refined culinary techniques. Chef's partnerships with James Beard award-winning and Michelin-starred Fabio Trabocchi at Setas Yuma elevate the culinary journey. Guests may enjoy elegant restaurant settings, relaxed poolside dining and beautiful all-fresco venues overlooking the sea. There are no set dining times allowing guests to dine at their own pace throughout the voyage and with a 24-hour in-suite dining every craving is met with care. Starting with Mistral up on deck 10, this is where the yacht comes to life during the day. An open-air restaurant and pool bar that seamlessly blends dining, socializing and relaxation. The energy here evolves naturally from a leisurely breakfast or lunch under the sun and afternoon cocktails and finally into beautiful sunset setting with a vibrant yet effortless atmosphere. There's always a breeze, always a view and always that deep sense of connection to the sea. Setas Yuma offers a refined specialty dining experience. It is inspired by Europe's Michelin-starred restaurants and the kind of place your clients must visit at least once during their voyage. The atmosphere here is elegant yet relaxed, inviting rather than intimidating. Every detail feels curated making it especially appealing for guests who appreciate gastronomy as an essential part of their journey. Tides is Yuma's main restaurant but it defies the traditional notion of a main dining room. There are no fixed seatings, no assigned tables, no rigid structure. Instead, Tides is designed to feel like a refined standalone restaurant, the kind you would find in any great city. The atmosphere here is elegant yet never formal or intimidating. Because of the yacht's size and limited number of guests, the space feels calm, spacious and remarkably personal. Service flows naturally, pacing feels effortless and the experience is constantly elevated. On deck five, we find Memory which offers one of the most distinctive dining experiences on board. Asian-inspired with a focus on precision, artistry and beautifully balanced flavors, the atmosphere here is intimate and refined, much like the cuisine itself. From expertly prepared sushi to thoughtfully crafted dishes inspired across Asia, everything here feels curated and elevated. It's the kind of experience your clients will remember long after their The all-inclusive fare on board Yuma ensures every moment is effortless. This includes all suite ocean view accommodations, each with private terrace, on-board gratuities, multiple dining venues, 24-hour in-suite dining, beverages in suite and throughout the yacht, on-board entertainment and enrichment, marina-style platform with access to water sports while at anchor and the premium wi-fi throughout the yacht. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection also offers an exclusive opportunity for small groups and celebrations, accommodating up to 50 suites on board Yuma. From sunset cocktail hours overlooking the marina to private spaces for conversation, groups enjoy the ease of an unhurried voyage.
