168' Trinity Yachts Tri_Deck Motor Yachts

PRELIMINARY LISTING INFORMATION

HERE IS THE UPSIDE ON THIS PROJECT

You'll Save Time & Money – 

When you look at the cost estimates to complete this yacht you’ll see savings in both time and money. We can help you get current estimates from qualified shipyards that would like to be selected to finish the project (the yards we work with are in USA, Greece, and Turkey). We believe the completion price should be at least $10 million less than starting from scratch based on what yachts in this size range are actually selling for on the open market today.

You'll Get A Respected Brand – 

If you are not familiar with the Trinity brand they have built over 60 megayachts over the past 30 years and you will find them cruising everywhere in the world. They have attracted owners from industry, sports, and even royalty, and over 60% of their clients at one point were repeat owners which says a lot about how much fun the design and building process was at Trinity. 

Read the Brochure -

If you are not familiar with the company you can learn a lot more about the history of Trinity in the attached brochure which even includes their connection to W.W. II when they took over the J.C. Higgins factory in New Orleans. General Eisenhower once made the observation the Higgins boats were critical to winning the war!

Every Trinity is a Custom Design - 

All Trinity Yachts were fully custom-designed projects. For this yacht, we have several floorplan arrangements available. This is not like some of the well-known production brands you’ve heard of where there are a dozen or more identical yachts out there on the high seas. When you own a Trinity you own a signature piece, not another “me too” yacht.

A Strong Presence in the Global Resale & Charter Market – 

Wherever you look up the Trinity brand on the internet (Google, YouTube, Multiple Listing Systems) you will find Trinity yachts. They are offered for sale by the best brokers in the world and you will see sisterships successfully chartering in every major port, and most important for the buyer, you will see a solid resale history of Trinity yachts in both the North American and European markets.

She Has Modern Styling – 

When you look at the exterior styling for this yacht it is current in today’s world and there is nothing dated about it. The construction is still at a point when you can make some changes depending on personal preference.

Offers Stability and Performance – 

This yacht has a projected top speed of 18.7 knots if you use 2,250 hp Cat 3512B engines based on the proven design, and you will see Trinity sisterships of similar length that confirm it. In achieving that speed the design team managed to also deliver a hull shape that is comfortable in all sea conditions which is not always the case with fast yachts in this size range. Even just looking at the profile you can see the yacht is well balanced in the design of the upper structure which plays a big role in stability in heavy seas. Some of those “far out” designs you see in all the magazines today need special handling when the seas begin to build.

Spacious Contemporary Interior Space Plan – 

We have recommended the five-stateroom floorplan that is included in this listing because it works well for family use but is also highly desirable in the world of charter yachts. If you go with that layout then all of the engineering drawings are completed.

It can obviously be modified for an additional engineering cost and when you meet with your interior design team we have an alternate layout available for your consideration.

As you study the floorplan you will see there are no tight spaces on any deck level. It is easier to see that in the owner quarters on all decks but what may not be as obvious is the extra space in both the crew quarters and the engine room and a happy crew means happy owners. The extra room in the engine compartment means that servicing all the complicated systems required on a modern yacht like this will be easier on your crew as well. 

Depending on your personal color preferences you have plenty of time to select the woods, marbles, fixtures, fabrics, and hardware when working with the interior designer that will personalize the yacht for you and your family. Finding the right interior design firm for this project and then deciding how much latitude you want to give them is one of the major cost variables you will need to think about upfront.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE YOU SHOULD KNOW

DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROJECT

We have full documentation for this project and where it stands at the moment. This is not some abandoned yacht in the back of some boatyard with no one to help. The yacht has been securely and properly maintained from the moment that production stopped.

RECENT INSPECTION OF THE YACHT

Since the yachts have been stored on land for years, one of the questions we have been asked is what about the condition of the aluminum and the welds. The yacht was inspected in February 2023 by Fort Lauderdale-based world Yacht Survey / Pliske Marine, Inc. inspector (and qualified surveyor) who is available to confirm that this yacht is ready to go back into production and there are no issues with the aluminum.

SUPPORT TEAM OPTIONS

One of the concerns people have when taking over any yacht project like this that has been shut down for years is who do I get to help me get the yacht finished including design work and the actual construction? We have the right answers and we have the right people - Designers, engineers, and project managers.

DESIGN & ENGINEERING –

You’ll be glad to know that the original team that designed this particular yacht and the other Trinities is available to help complete the remaining drawings if you want to change the design. If you like this exact layout all the engineering is complete. Everyone who was involved in this yacht from the CEO on down wants to see this yacht successfully completed and be part of the history of Trinity. Whatever help you need you’ll find the right people are available to help you get this boat back into production as fast as possible regardless of where you decide to send the yacht for completion.

INTERIOR DESIGNER –

Some of the best interior design firms in the world have worked on Trinity yachts over the years and they would all be happy to talk to you about completing the project. In addition, depending on the location of the yard that will be completing the yacht, they may have some design firms they work closely with that you might want to consider.

COMPLETION OPTIONS

The strongest interest and the best pricing that we received in bidding out a similar sistership hull T-056 all came from shipyards in Turkey and Greece and we will be happy to share that information with you. We can present you with information on the yards that have expressed interest so far in completing the yacht. You’re talking about a project in the $15-$20 million range so this is a huge opportunity for the right facility. The fact that the yacht can go back into production as soon as it arrives makes it even more desirable for the right yard.

We can also provide updated shipping costs for transporting the yacht to the yards that are currently interested.

CURRENT STATUS

This yacht is stored in Gulfport, Mississippi. It is secure and checked regularly. The yacht can remain in its current location while you make the arrangements for completion. 

CURRENT VALUATION

CURRENT CONDITION AND VALUATION

One of the top yacht surveyors in the US (World Yacht Survey / Pliske Marine Inc) flew to Gulfport, MS to inspect the yacht in February 2023. In his inspection report, Chris Pliske prepared a detailed breakdown of the actual cost of the yacht as it sits now and explained how to evaluate that cost in today's value while allowing for depreciation.

A copy of the full survey report is available upon request.
