The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has completed a planned capital transaction representing more than $300 million in total support, with President and Chief Executive Officer Ernesto Fara saying the company is growing and executing as planned and excited about the future, according to a company announcement.
"Our shareholders and lenders have together committed more than $300 million in capital support – equity and an amortization structure that better aligns our debt profile with the continued ramp up of our revenues, demonstrating confidence in this market and in this company," said Fara.
He continued: "This transaction was the planned funding step that takes a fleet in rapid expansion to a fleet in full operation, and it comes at a moment when our Q1 results show revenue more than doubling, vessel margins improving and bookings at an all-time record,''
The transaction includes a $167 million equity injection and approximately $171 million in deferred amortization, according to the company.
The company also reported Q1 2026 total revenues of $97 million, up 106 percent year-over-year, and record quarterly bookings of $134 million, up 56 percent year-over-year, according to a press release.
Additional Q1 metrics include average daily rate per passenger up 27 percent to $1,696, vessel contribution margin up 215 percent to $41 million, and returning guests up 62 percent year-over-year, now representing more than 20 percent of sailed guests, according to the company.
As Cruise Industry News reported yesterday, the company secured a debt restructuring agreement with its lenders and posted a 51 percent load factor in Q1.
