The story
S.E.A. is the flagship specialty restaurant aboard Evrima, the yacht at the heart of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. The menu is the work of Chef Sven Elverfeld, whose restaurant Aqua held three Michelin stars at The Ritz-Carlton in Wolfsburg — and that pedigree shapes every plate. The result is a European tasting menu served in a setting that Forbes Travel Guide recognised with a Four-Star award for 2026, placing S.E.A. among a small group of restaurants where design, service and cooking operate at the same exacting level.
Forbes reviewers noted that the dining room "embodies the menu's sophisticated style through dark green banquettes, sculptural chairs and other design touches." The creative centrepiece — an intricate arrangement of 4,900 carefully placed shells — gives the space a quiet drama that avoids showiness. The five-course menu is paced deliberately, courses spaced to prevent fatigue, so the meal feels considered rather than rushed.
The menu leans into fresh, seasonal vegetables: pumpkin, zucchini, artichokes. Dishes like eggplant in miso broth and citrus-spiked pumpkin confit bring a modern lightness to what might otherwise read as formal European fine dining. The approach keeps things approachable without softening the ambition. Reservations are required and an additional fee applies — S.E.A. sits on Deck 6, a deliberate step apart from the yacht's other dining venues, each of which serves a different mood and appetite.
Dining aboard Evrima spans several venues — from the Mediterranean-inflected Mistral to the Southeast Asian Talaat Nam — but S.E.A. is where the culinary ambition is most concentrated. For guests who want the full expression of what fine dining at sea can be, it remains the destination.
