Capt Duncan Holroyd (pictured) has been appointed to the Four Seasons Yachts’ senior leadership team.
Serving alongside Capt Kate McCue, his appointment further underscores an unwavering commitment to excellence across every facet of the Four Seasons Yachts guest and maritime experience, the company claimed.
“Duncan brings expertise, precision, and passion that can only be cultivated through decades spent at sea,” said Ben Trodd, recently appointed CEO.
“Together with Capt McCue, they form a leadership powerhouse, perfectly aligned with our vision to reimagine ultra-luxury at sea all while setting a new standard in yachting hospitality.”
Capt Holroyd’s career spans leadership roles with Holland America Line, Carnival Corp, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Most recently, he oversaw US fleet operations for Lindblad Expeditions.
A graduate of Fleetwood Nautical College and Warsash Maritime Academy, he also holds a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography from the University of Wales.
“What drew me to Four Seasons Yachts is the philosophy – combining experiences typically found on superyachts with an unprecedented level of luxury and service that puts the guest at the centre of all we do,” Capt Holroyd said.
“From the bespoke transverse marina to thoughtfully selected exclusive ports, and the one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio – this exceptional hospitality is something I wanted to be part of delivering as a lifelong mariner.”
In his new role, he will support the final phases of outfitting and marine operations leading to the Yacht’s delivery.
Once launched, he will work closely with Capt McCue across all areas of vessel operations—overseeing navigation, safety, watchkeeping, and deck maintenance—ensuring the yacht delivers a world class experience at sea.
‘Four Seasons l’ will make her inaugural voyage on 20th March, 2026.
