Over the years, Trinity became synonymous with robust craftsmanship, American style, and full-custom design flexibility.
From its shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi, the company delivered an impressive portfolio of aluminium and steel superyachts. Each yacht was tailored to the owner’s specifications, with in-house design, naval architecture, and interior joinery ensuring control over every detail. Trinity’s build range extended from high-performance semi-displacement yachts to full-displacement ocean-going designs exceeding 200’ (61m).
Notable yachts such as Cocoa Bean, Unbridled, and Mine Games reflect the shipyard’s ability to merge technical strength with elegant styling.

Notable deliveries and models
Trinity started making superyachts in 1988, but it wasn’t until 1995 when they entered a joint venture with Victory Lane that they started to shine. After the merger, the company started to design and create motoryachts with a more futuristic look and forward-thinking. It was with those new, innovative models that laid the foundation of ultimate success for Trinity. The yard later debuted the first model named the 150’ Trideck M/Y Magic at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and the reception was widely applauded around the industry. The success of M/Y Magic inspired the release of another model 1 year later, named the M/Y Marsha Kay, bringing great value for the quality of Trinity’s production. After that, the company focused on receiving private orders creating fully custom yachts tailored to their owners, always offering a professional approach and high-quality construction.
Some popular Trinity builds include M/Y New Horizon, M/Y Finish Line, M/Y Reem.1, M/Y Lady Sura, M/Y Tsumat, M/Y Areti, M/Y Lady Linda, M/Y Carpe Diem and M/Y Falcon. Trinity boats do not just impress with their visuals, but they also manage to offer a great interior appeal, plenty of efficiency and space that you do not want to miss.
