proud to say, “not one of their yachts commissioned
by a client has ever re-sold for less money than the contract price,” and
this makes the financially savvy owners of a Trinity yacht very happy. This is
probably why out of the eighteen superyachts that Trinity has on order today,
(the most a shipyard has ever had in the history of US. superyacht building),
eleven of them are from repeat clients and three clients have a multiple yacht
programme; one yacht currently in use, a yacht in the build phase and a third
in the design stage! To put it simply, Trinity Yachts have overcome obstacles
that would have put many yacht-builders permanently under water. Even after suffering
a direct hit on August 29th 2005 from America’s worst natural and man-made disaster
due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Trinity has re-emerged as the world leader
in custom superyacht-building according to Showboats Int. magazine*. Upon learning
that hundreds of their employees lost their homes in the flood, Trinity simply
turned around and built a small village of large mobile homes on their premises
to provide accommodation for these employees to help them get back on their feet.
From scratch there was the installation of sanitation, power and security to help
create a comfortable living experience.Walk around in the evening at the Trinity

stop to pick up children. It is in part
that Trinity’s loyalty and dedication to their workforce has in turn created a
dedication and loyalty to the company that is often unheard of by today’s standards,
and all this contributes to Trinity’s successful formula. Although Trinity is
quick to point out that they use extremely modern build techniques and systems,
they never forget their roots being firmly planted at the old Higgins shipyard,
where most of the D-Day landing craft were built for WWII. With strong military
influences used in their building techniques, hence extremely high levels of quality
control, it is hardly surprising why Trinity Yachts has gained such a high reputation
as the superyacht builder to go to when looking for a safe investment. Now with
two shipyards in production, one of the largest departments of naval architects
in the business, the largest “Sycro Lift” in the USA due for installation, a new
550 ton travel lift delivered next month and 18 exquisite ships under-construction,Trinity
is buzzing with energy. Today as this American superyacht builder moves forward
in 2007, the future has never looked brighter for Trinity Yachts, its employees
and very importantly, the investment savvy owners of a Trinity yacht.
