We're excited to announce a monumental milestone - the official delivery of our highly anticipated second yacht, Ilma! The delivery ceremony took place at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France and celebrated several maritime traditions including the changing of flags on board the yacht. This milestone brings us one step closer to welcoming our first guests aboard in September. A huge thank you to our incredible Ladies and Gentlemen and all the teams involved in preparing Ilma for her maiden voyage. Their dedication ensures our future guests will receive the exceptional service and luxurious amenities that are synonymous with The Ritz-Carlton. Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for Ilma's inaugural season.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection ups the ante on luxury travel with Ilma, our newest superyacht offering an extraordinary culinary journey. Here's a taste of what awaits: Five world-class restaurants: From modern Italian fine-dining by Chef Fabio Trabocchi at Seta su Ilma to vibrant Pan-Latin and Caribbean creations at the Beach House by Chef Michael Mina (both chefs' first ventures at sea!), Ilma offers unparalleled culinary experiences. Seven inviting bars and an expansive wine vault: Indulge in expertly crafted cocktails inspired by your voyage's destinations or explore a curated selection of exceptional wines. Globally-inspired menus: Savor fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared with artistry, showcasing the diverse culinary flavors of the world. Soak in panoramic ocean views while enjoying a regionally inspired meal at Tides, indulging in a romantic dinner under the stars at Mistral’s Mediterranean ambiance, or savoring vibrant Pan-Asian delights at Memorī.
