Trinity Yachts

Trinity Yachts was a custom yacht builder based in the United States. Established in 1988, the company was founded by Felix Sabates, John Dane III, and Billy Smith. Its headquarters were located in Gulfport, Mississippi. Trinity Yachts specialized in the construction of large, custom motor yachts, typically ranging in size from 100 to over 200 feet in length. The shipyard's construction philosophy focused on building to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Lloyd's Register class, adhering to Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) standards, and aiming for compliance with SOLAS regulations for yachts. They predominantly utilized aluminum for hull and superstructure construction. Over its operational period, Trinity Yachts delivered a number of notable vessels, including projects such as the 190-foot (58-meter) Areti and the 164-foot (50-meter) Home. The company was also recognized for its semi-displacement and full-displacement hull designs. Trinity Yachts ceased new yacht construction in the mid-2010s, with its facilities later used for refit and repair services.
