TRINITY YACHTS – Operating Since 1988

Trinity Yacht was founded in 1988 and was a leading luxury yacht building company based on the US Gulf Coast.

With operating shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Gulfport, the shipbuilder produced American luxury motor yachts from aluminum and steel.

The company was bought out by  Harvey Gulf International Marine , a New Orleans-based marine transport firm, in 2015. The company specializes in the offshore supply and support vessels. 

TRINITY YACHTS – A HISTORY

The roots of Trinity Yachts lie in the commercial and military shipyard Harvey Marine in New Orleans. In the 1970s, John Dane III, an Olympic sailor, went to work for Harvey Marine.

He later founded Trinity Yachts in 1988 to expand the shipyard’s operations into the luxury superyacht industry. 

Trinity was acquired by Dane in 2000, along with his partners Billy Sith and Felix Sabates, who was the owner of Victory Lane Enterprises.

After the merger with Victory Lane, the company began developing and designing superyachts with a futuristic and forward-thinking outlook, laying down the success for Trinity.

The shipyard was wildly successful and attracted many owners from around the world, largely thanks to Sabate’s influence. 

The yard debuted its first model named the 150’ Trideck M/Y Magic in 2001 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which was applauded by the industry.

The success inspired the launch of another model a year later, the M/Y Marsha Key. After the success of the models, Trinity focussed on private orders from clients, offering a fully custom yacht tailored to their owner’s tastes.

The company became well known for always offering a professional approach and top quality contractions.

Hurricane Katrine wreaked havoc on the New Orleans-based shipyard, which led to the opening of the Gulfport facility in 2005. Despite the devastation from the hurricane, and the economic downturn of 2008, Trinity Yachts continued and thrived. 

In 2015, Harvey Gulf International Marine acquired Trinity Yachts. The company also acquired Trinity Yachts’ sister company, TY Offshore. TY Offshore develops and builds vessels for the offshore energy sector.

TRINITY YACHTS – NOTABLE LAUNCHES

Trinity produced several notable yachts throughout its lifetime such as the 58-meter UNBRIDLED yacht launched in 2009.

In 2007, MINE GAMES was delivered from the shipyard. The 50m superyacht was built with both an aluminum hull and superstructure.

Trinity’s in-house naval architecture team developed the yacht’s naval architecture, featuring elegant interior designs from Patrick Knowles. The yacht also featured a personal submersible mounted to her water sports platform.

NEW HORIZON, a 73m superyacht, was launched from Trinity. At the time, it was one of the largest luxury yachts built in the US and was delivered in 2012. She featured naval architecture from the in-house team, and Evan Marshall designed her interior styling.

Four key players of the disbanded Trinity Yachts, once the world’s sixth largest custom yacht builder, are working in new roles in yachting since the company’s break-up about four years ago. Billy Smith, Geoffrey van Aller, Jim Berulis and Phil Nuss rolled with the punches, just as they did when this author interviewed them at Trinity’s Cinco de Mayo crayfish boil celebrating their new Gulfport facility in Mississippi in May, 2006.   In a region suffering after Hurricane Katrina toppled the Gulf Coast and sank New Orleans on August 29, 2005, Trinity Yachts emerged from ground zero as a bonafide case study in successful crisis management, bouncing back from a catastrophic event that crippled and closed thousands of businesses to become an unstoppable, boat-building boomtown with 24 yachts on order in 2008. The devastating hurricane spearheaded Trinity’s revolutionary growth. Becoming America’s largest yacht manufacturer, the shipyard had capacity to deliver eight to 10 megayachts annually, under 19 acres of covered workspace at two facilities. Trinity built steel and aluminum yachts in the new Gulfport headquarters, with the reopened New Orleans yard building aluminum hulls and decks supporting Gulfport. Just two months after Hurricane Katrina, Trinity’s presentation at the 2005 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) made the yachting world stand up and take notice. Extraordinary measures during the hurricane kept yachts safe for delivery and their FLIBS debut. The invincible Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Mustang Sally, Big Easy  and  Mia Elise , the largest steel hull motoryacht built in the United States in 50 years, were an impressive lineup for any builder at FLIBS, and remarkable for one which endured the worst natural disaster in history. Prior to the recession of 2008, the strong Euro made American-built megayachts more affordable to European-built boats and Trinity Yachts triumphed in a whirlwind of change. The company was among New Orleans’ largest manufacturing employers, with over 500 employees at Trinity’s 38-acre waterfront property on the Industrial Canal in the heart of New Orleans. That kind of grit built the New Orleans property, which began operation as shipyard in 1941 as Higgins Industries. The American icon employed 20,000 workers producing the amphibious landing craft that won D-Day in World War II. Shallow, stump jumpers designed to work in the swamp with a protected propeller inspired the landing craft which gave New Orleans a war effort industry during the world’s darkest days. Gulf boats with shallow drafts are called hard chine hulls for simplicity, an easy build and a generally lower cost. “Building 150-foot yachts that draw seven feet running 20 knots is a direct result of making crew boats to run in the Gulf of Mexico’s shallow waters, making Trinity’s yachts ideal for the Bahamas,” said Billy Smith, then Trinity’s vice president.   John Dane III became president of Trinity Marine Group in 1987 and approached Smith in 1988, encouraging the company’s diversification. Trinity Yachts was spun out of Trinity Industries and Halter Marine as the market for work vessels changed. Smith had been around yachts all his life and was ready to build them. “We kept getting calls from guys in Lauderdale, the big yachts of the era, 86-foot Burgers and Browards.” Smith wasn’t impressed with the construction of early aluminum yachts, which were not classed, initially. “In the late 80s, the majority of 100-foot boats in Fort Lauderdale had no watertight bulkheads,” said Smith. “Some would go out to sea and blow out portholes. We just weren’t used to building boats like that.” Trinity had an excellent run for about 20 years and delivered 62 hulls, but the new yacht construction ceased in 2016 after being purchased by Harvey Gulf. Yachting Journal recently caught up with four key players in new roles in the marine industry. Billy Smith Director of Key Accounts, Metal Shark and Yacht Broker, Merle Wood & Associates. Billy Smith, Trinity’s executive vice president, grew up on the Mississippi River with his family’s business of derricks, barges, and tugs, and enjoyed sailing on Lake Pontchartrain and sportfishing in Louisiana’s sportsman’s paradise. Smith looked relaxed on a cold January day in Metairie, La. He’s “having fun working.” “I like it,” said Smith. “The whole vibe is exciting. Metal Shark is an up and coming shipyard. This is a millennial company with some virtual offices. I am based in Mississippi and am focused on Metal Shark’s Alabama facility in the old Horizon yard.” Smith also has a nice office at Merle Wood in Fort Lauderdale, showing the biggest brokerage vessels in the superyacht world to his impressive network, a lifetime of connections. He reflected, “to build a $30 or $40 million superyacht, your client should have at least $200 - $300 million net worth.” However, an upbeat, charismatic Smith still has his feet firmly on the ground. He remembers what it was like to live in a prehistoric age after Katrina, with no electricity or cell phones, each day was a struggle.

“After the storm, it was like living 100 years ago,” he said. “We had to communicate face-to-face and leave notes. It made me aware that we all came into this world with nothing. And we’ll leave with nothing. What counts is what we do every day in-between. We appreciate what we have today.” Smith is proud of what Trinity accomplished on its tremendous run. He said that under the right circumstances, he believes nearly all employees would all return to build more Trinity yachts, all these years later. Not that he actually sees it happening, though. “I’m shocked we couldn’t find a buyer for Trinity,” he said, adding, “we could have been reopened. It would be turnkey with the right operators, not a startup - but a restart. The labor has not left the area.” Geoffrey van Aller -  President, van Aller Yacht & Naval Design Mary P, Lady Linda  and  Mustang Sally aren’t designated names for Hurricane Season 2019. They’re three of many superyachts conceived by Trinity Yachts' chief yacht designer and naval architect, Geoffrey van Aller. A graduate from the University of New Orleans school of marine engineering and naval architecture, van Aller, now 54, pumped out about 60 now iconic megayachts in 20 years that built Trinity’s successful brand as the world’s sixth largest custom yacht builder. Looking at his designs all these years later, van Aller’s exterior styling is still sleek and timeless. It’s difficult to tell which decade - or millennium - his nautical creations were actually launched. van Aller’s designs are traditional, elegant and robust, producing Trinity’s beautiful superyacht fleet with flowing lines that look good from every angle. “Geoff has a good eye and only draws what can actually be built, from a structural standpoint,” said Billy Smith. “I like to design the whole boat as one whole, piecing details together,” said van Aller. “I don’t like the cluttered look of a mish-mash of too much detail. I’d rather see the flowing shapes and curves speak for themselves than straight lines with slab sides - and a myriad of costume jewelry thrown in.” As a child, van Aller was intrigued with the short voyage to Horn Island in the Mississippi Sound. The experience of camping and fishing there, and marveling at 50-foot sportfishers docked at Biloxi’s Broadwater Beach Marina in the 1960s, set van Aller on a journey of nautical discovery that never ended. “Those were the biggest boats I’d ever seen,” van Aller says of the humdingers at Broadwater in Biloxi, Miss. “It whet my appetite for yachts for sure.” Now based in Ocean Springs, Miss. with his own design firm, van Aller Yacht and Naval Design, Geoff van Aller is busy with new superyacht designs and refits and refit and conversion work for commercial builders. Even after losing all three of his family homes in Katrina, van Aller once lived in one of the Trinity trailers for five months, he still can’t imagine himself anywhere but Mississippi, where he is remodeling a classic home in his spare time, another creative outlet. “I grew up here,” he said. “All you ever hear about is Florida and the Northwest...people used to not think of the South as a place to design or build megayachts, but they know us now. You travel the world wondering where you’re going to land to design and build megayachts and wind up doing it in your own backyard. That’s pretty neat.” Jim Berulis - Vice President and General Manager, Savannah Yacht Center It seems as though Jim Berulis, 72, is always building something from scratch with his own hands. A no-nonsense, straight-shooter, Trinity’s vice president learned patience and strategy the hard way, building boats by day and repairing homes by night and weekends after Katrina. The hurricane had taken its toll on his employees, stress initiated divorces. “Everyone suffered,” said Berulis. “Everyone knows someone who lost everything.” His leadership skills during Trinity’s crisis now benefit Savannah Yacht Center’s expansion. As general manager, Berulis reflected upon his first day in Savannah about three years ago, where he was all alone in the yard, by himself. “It was eerie, the silence,” said Berulis. “But I envisioned the possibilities.” Six superyachts chose Savannah Yacht Center and its 17,000T drydock for their refit and service work since Berulis assumed command. As one section of the yard services and maintains vessels, Berulis and his team simultaneously refit the shipyard’s infrastructure for strategic growth and capital improvements catering to superyachts 60-meters and over. Completion of all heavy construction is expected during 2019. With a 140-meter graving dock for yachts up to 450-feet in length and 1,200-feet of wet slips, Savannah Yacht Center’s new 3,240T synchrolift and rail transfer system will simultaneously accommodate over six, 260-foot superyachts, on the hard for refits and service. Strategically located in the United States near the Atlantic Ocean in Georgia, Savannah’s pleasant climate allows refit work 12 months a year. The renovated yard will feature every amenity, including a ship’s store and market, offices, gymnasium, crew lounge, cafe and bar, with the new facilities appearing nearly complete during this author’s tour of the yard in September. Berulis is enjoying the culinary delights in Savannah, which compare to New Orleans, but in smaller supply. “After about 90 days, you have to start over with a new restaurant in Savannah, because you’ve hit all the best ones,” he joked. “They are excellent and I have my favorites, but my wife and I know what it is like to miss New Orleans.” Phil Nuss - President, Trinity Yacht Repair The former chief of engineering for Trinity Yachts, Phil Nuss, 54, is still on Seaway Road at Trinity Yacht Repair, now part of Gulf Coast Shipyard Group. “We made our debut at FLIBS 2018 after deciding to get back in business in June or July,” said Nuss. “We spend most of our time maintaining Harvey Gulf fleet," he said. "We are doing some small repair projects and trying to target bigger jobs. We can handle up to 100-meter boats and pick up 3000T boats all the time.” Trinity Yacht Repair is available for repairs and maintenance on any superyacht, although Nuss has innate knowledge of every Trinity yacht ever built. He still uses the Trinity logo for Trinity Yacht Repair.   Nuss claims a yacht captain can save 10-percent on a refit or repair job with Trinity Yacht Repair, even after the fuel burn from Fort Lauderdale to Gulfport. “We are also doing class inspections. We will save you money and are an hour from New Orleans. I commute from Mandeville to Gulfport every day. It isn’t far."

Trinity Yachts for Sale

Operating shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulfport in Mississippi, Trinity Yachts is an American luxury motor yacht builder constructing superyachts in aluminum and steel up to 403-feet (123m) in length.

Trinity Yachts was founded in 1988 by John Dane III, an Olympic sailor who went to work for Halter Marine with a vision to expand the shipyard’s operations into the luxury motor yacht sector. Halter Marine, which is a commercial and military shipyard in New Orleans, remains one of Trinity’s two facilities. In 2000, Trinity Yachts was acquired by Dane along with partners Billy Smith and Felix Sabates, owner of Victory Lane Enterprises.

Trinity’s specializations overall are: state-of-the-art construction, superior engineering, technology, refits, and the expertise of their staff. In addition to these core capabilities, Trinity can also offer customers examples of designs from their Victory Lane Series and the new Global Explorer Series of motor yachts, all produced by their in-house naval architects and engineers, and offered in various sizes, with customization to the owner’s specific requirements.

History of Trinity Yachts

Trinity Yachts’ roots lie in Halter Marine, the commercial and military shipyard in New Orleans, which is still one of the builder’s two facilities. In the 1970s, Olympic sailor John Dane III went to work for Halter Marine and founded Trinity Yachts in 1988, in order to expand the shipyard’s operations to encompass luxury motor yachts. Twelve years later, Dane joined forces with two business partners: Billy Smith and Felix Sabates.

The shipyard was highly successful, attracting owners from all over the world, including – thanks to Sabates’ influence – many involved in high-profile motorsports. In the early 2000’s, Trinity’s order book of superyacht projects was in the double digits. Despite the devastation wreaked on the New Orleans shipyard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which led to the opening of the Gulfport facility and the global economic downturn of 2008, Trinity Yachts continues to be one of the leading superyacht builders in the U.S. today.

In 2011, Trinity turned to its original roots to ride-out the global economic downturn – the company diversified and was able to secure contracts from the military, commercial offshore sector and commercial inland. These contracts enabled Trinity to retain most of their highly-skilled workforce and kept the operation going until contracts for new yachts picked up. They built six 90-foot, 45-knot fast patrol vessels for the State of Kuwait and a new generation of offshore supply vessels deployed in the Gulf of Mexico that included four, 302-foot by 64-foot diesel-electric, dual-fuel vessels.

Trinity has been recognized as one of the most elite builders of custom superyachts in the United States.

The Trinity collection

The average superyacht delivered by the yard is 160 feet (49m) in length and 545 GT. One of their most notable launches was the 164-foot (50m) motor yacht MINE GAMES in 2007; built with both with an aluminum hull and superstructure. Trinity’s in-house team developed the naval architecture for the yacht, which featured an elegant interior design by Patrick Knowles and, at least for a time, a personal submersible mounted to her watersports platform.

The quad-deck, 239.5- foot (73m) motor yacht NEW HORIZON, one of the largest luxury yachts to be built in the USA at the time, was delivered by Trinity in 2012. Similarly to MINE GAMES, her naval architecture was handled in house, while Evan Marshall created her interior styling. Built to ABS class in steel and aluminum, she was a significant milestone for the yard. She is MCA compliant, accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms and her twin 2,626hp Caterpillar engines give her a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Currently, Trinity provides customers the ability to build a custom yacht to any design in any size, up to 400-feet, that fulfills their unique yachting desires. Extremely luxurious, each Trinity is a personal cruise ship and with every yacht they deliver.

Trinity Yachts

Last November, the 177-foot tri-deck Seahawk put out from the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, headed for Fisher Island, Fla., where the Trin-ity Yachts vessel was to be christened. Jim Mattei, Seahawk’s owner, invited his mother to break the bottle of Champagne over the yacht’s bow, and as the bottle shattered to a clatter of claps, Mattei rejoiced in the fact that Seahawk, which had taken three years to build, was finally finished. “To see his mother christening what is arguably the finest boat ever built in U.S. history was Jim’s happiest moment,” says Billy Smith, Trinity Yachts vice president.

Smith’s declaration of Seahawk’s unparalleled quality might seem biased, but yachting professionals who have viewed the yacht would probably agree with his assessment. Only a week earlier in Fort Lauderdale, Smith led a parade of brokers and designers on tours of Seahawk, the largest American-flagged aluminum yacht built in the United States. He showed them Seahawk’s fresh-air system, which refreshes the air on the boat three times an hour, keeping the yacht’s humidity at the desired level. Then Smith guided the guests through the engine room, describing how the yacht can cruise at 22 knots, or approximately 25 mph.

The tour culminated with an appreciatory survey of the boat’s artwork, mahogany inlays, and entertainment systems, including plasma televisions that rise from marble countertops for viewing. “It’s the total package,” says Smith. “You can’t excel in one area and drop the ball in another. This boat is designed to go to sea, safely and comfortably. If you don’t accomplish those two things, I don’t care how nice the interior is, it’s not a good boat.”  

Mattei, a former NASCAR team owner, wanted an American-made megayacht built to match the finest vessels of the northern European boatbuilders. He instructed Trinity to design and construct a yacht that would cruise at 20 knots and include a master stateroom, a VIP suite, and four guest staterooms. The New Orleans shipyard began to build the yacht, while Claudette Bonville, a Fort Lauderdale–based interior designer, began work on Seahawk’s interior.  

Mattei wanted an elegant and timeless look, and Bonville delivered. The focal point of the yacht’s interior is a central staircase that connects the three decks. The interior includes cherry, mahogany, and burl woodwork, a Steinway grand piano, and bookmatched marble. “You take marble, break it up into pieces to install on the boat, reassemble the marble on the boat, and match up the veins piece to piece,” explains Smith.  

Mattei visited Trinity several times during construction, changing some elements and approving others. After the christening, Mattei sailed the 177-foot yacht along the East Coast before selling Seahawk to another owner, who has since renamed the boat Katherine. After all, Mattei has bigger plans. “Seahawk is his dream boat,” Smith says. “But in the back of his mind, he was thinking, ‘Okay, this one’s good. Really good. But you know what? I can do it again. And do it better.’ ”

Trinity Yachts History

The New Orleans shipyard where Trinity got its start has a long history as a commercial and defense shipyard. Halter Marine was continuing that tradition when John Dane began working for them in the 1970s. When Trinity Industries, comprised of Halter Marine, Equitable (the Higgins shipyard) and Moss Point Marina, started looking for new markets in 1988, John Dane and marketing genius Billy Smith stepped up to the challenge. They formed the Trinity Yachts division, setting their sights on the yachting industry, and bringing to bear a rigorous attention to detail and ability to customize that had been honed by years of meeting exacting military standards.

The division joined forces in 1995 with Victory Lane Enterprises, owned by Felix Sabates, Jr. Two years later, the company introduced ‘Noble House,’ an entirely new design for a tri-deck megayacht, to acclaim at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. In 2000, Dane, Smith, and Sabates acquired Trinity Yachts and the company began to take off, finding their niche by focusing on producing custom designed yachts. The company was gaining a reputation as a world-class custom megayacht designer when disaster struck in 2005 in the form of Hurricane Katrina.

The 100 mile an hour winds and 20-foot storm surge of Katrina cut a swath of destruction that destroyed the company’s manufacturing equipment and demolished power and phone lines. Two almost-completed ships and the hulls under construction made it through unscathed, but the company’s workforce was devastated and many were left homeless. Dane and Smith threw themselves into creating a solution, securing a new worksite within the week in Gulfport, Mississippi. They obtained over a hundred large mobile homes, set them up on the new site and gathered their scattered employees, eventually housing about 500 people on-site.

Even the overwhelming power of a hurricane was unable to kill the momentum of Trinity Yachts, who finished their two vessels in time to unveil them at the 2005 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. One of the yachts, the 161-foot ‘Zoom Zoom Zoom,’ even won a “Best in Show” award. The following July, the New Orleans site reopened, leaving Trinity Yachts with two fully equipped yards. Trinity Yachts now employs more than 1000 employees at their two sites, performing around 80 per cent of its construction in-house while enlisting artisans and master interior design firms from around the globe to contribute their expertise. Customers have the freedom to present an outside design, modify existing designs to meet their needs, or work with Trinity’s talented in-house architects and designers to custom-create a yacht. Trinity has firmly established itself as one of the elite builders of custom super yachts in the world, emphasizing European quality with steel and aluminum constructions.

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

The 50m luxury explorer motor yacht Evolution by Trinity Yachts with concept and original design by Frederick Hohenadel with William Coxon III, was created with versatility in mind. A variety of deck layouts is available on the Evolution 50 superyacht, in either a “Bridge Up” or “Bridge Down” configuration. All layouts within each category are easily interchangeable, permitting the owners a wide variety of purposes over time, and providing them with a potentially greater than normal service life expectancy with one yacht.

The most luxurious version of this new offering from Trinity Yachts allows for a full owner’s deck; with a private hot tub and master stateroom aft, and either a private lounge or second stateroom forward. The forward layouts are easily interchangeable at any time during the life of the vessel. Guest accommodations are also designed to be easily modified to suit a variety of purposes over time, from charter use to private family yacht.

During construction at Trinity Yachts, allowances will be made to permit the owners to easily modify the yacht to alternate configurations; efficiently and economically as personal needs dictate, during their term of ownership. The 50m super yacht Evolution can be easily converted by Trinity Yachts to the preferred configuration of a next owner. Layouts available for owner and guests range from master suite and two large VIPs, up to 5 or 6 stateroom layouts that may be found on a yacht typically used for charter.

There is accommodation for up to 12 crew on board the luxury yacht Evolution. 8 crew members share 4 cabins, each with its own head. The first officer or chef, and the engineer, have private cabins, and the Captain’s cabin is suitable for a couple. The yacht could be operated safely and efficiently with as few as 10 crew, depending on the type of usage. There are also layouts available that provide a cabin for a family staff member who may not be part of the yacht’s permanent crew. Among the most desirable features of this latest concept from Trinity Yachts, is the large aft sun deck that doubles as a touch and go heli-pad. The swim deck has a retractable extension, yielding an excellent staging area for diving, skiing and other water sports. The wide aft staircase provides bleacher like seating for spectators.

The upper deck features a hot tub, a generous covered lounge with grilling area, and optional “E-stations”, that permit, internet access, and inter-active gaming as well as TV and private movie viewing under the stars. A unique feature of this deck is the solar activated awning style side windows, which act as sun visors when opened.

Highly-comfortable accommodation offered by Evolution Superyacht

Evolution by Trinity Yachts, may be the most versatile new 50 meter design available. She can be easily and economically converted from a six stateroom charter yacht to a private family yacht with much more generous accommodations, in a relatively brief period at the Trinity Yachts shipyard, with minimum expense, compared to a normal major overhaul. This may be the perfect yacht for owners who want a unique new charter yacht now, but may not want to go through the entire build and design process all over again, when it’s time to upgrade to a private yacht with more generous accommodations. The luxury explorer vessel Evolution by Trinity Yachts is “One Boat for the Rest of Your Life.”

Trinity 177 Seahawk

• By Dudley Dawson
• Updated: October 4, 2007

It was a matter of honor among the genteel Southern ladies of my youth to avoid any overt displays of emotion, but something especially moving might elicit an exclamation of “Gracious! It was, and remains, a marvelous word that perfectly describes everything connected with Trinity Yachts’ most impressive launch to date, the 177-foot trideck motoryacht Seahawk . Built for an experienced owner, Jim Mattei, she is the archetype of a gracious home afloat, a yacht that is an instant classic and will remain so for years to come.

As important as Seahawk ‘s completion was to Mattei, it may be even more significant to Trinity Yachts. The project is a watershed event that allowed the builder, working with an accommodating client, to demonstrate its ability to deliver a custom superyacht among the best of recent deliveries worldwide. The exterior finish is superb, the interior outfitting is stunning and the engineering systems are first-rate. The thought put into Seahawk ‘s design is rivaled only by the effort put into execution.

Billy Smith, Trinity’s vice president, gives a lot of the credit to Mattei.

“Jim absolutely wanted to show the world that we could build world-class yachts in the U.S. He challenged us to take it to the next level,” Smith said. “We’re just happy that we had a client that had enough confidence in us to say, ‘I think y’all can do it.'”

From what I’ve seen of Seahawk , that confidence was well placed.

The yacht signals Trinity’s ability and intent to expand into even larger yachts, but the company does not plan to abandon its traditional market of yachts in the 100- to 150-foot range. Smith sees a clear demand for such yachts, with upscale equipment and outfitting, among those who demand the best but don’t need the largest. These obviously will not be the least expensive yachts of their length, but for savvy buyers, “It’s not about money, it’s about value, Smith said.

From outside, Seahawk is what most have come to expect from Trinity Yachts. Both the hull and superstructure, constructed of aluminum, are faired and finished to a fine degree of smoothness, showing little waviness as they reflect the planks of an adjoining dock.

More subtle and springing from Trinity’s deep roots as a major builder of commercial vessels are the equipment and outfitting details. In accordance with Seahawk ‘s ABS classification, the anchoring system is rugged, and freeing ports are numerous. Even the navigation lighting, which is fudged a bit on many large yachts to avoid fitting a foremast, is in full compliance with the COLREGS.

Boarding Seahawk reveals hints of the classic interior to come. A varnished teak caprail, often omitted on modern yachts to reduce maintenance, wraps the main deck’s periphery. On the afterdeck, a large oval table is topped by marquetry that is art in itself.

No single feature, not the Salvador Dali and Peter Max wall art, not the Frederic Remington sculptures, not even the antique Steinway grand piano jumps out to grab visitors’ attention. Instead, there is the overwhelming impression that this is one special boat.

The farther I went, the more the impression was reinforced. To avoid the ballroom syndrome, the saloon is loosely divided into two sections, with the piano and a marble-topped wall cabinet as room dividers. Aft, a small sitting area to starboard is perfect for undisturbed reading or quiet conversation. Another striking inlaid table is to port, intended for gaming but suitable for dining should the party be limited to two couples.

Forward is the lion’s share of the saloon. An overstuffed sofa and four oversized easy chairs surround a low gilt table with glass top. Facing the seating arrangement is a wide wall cabinet with a masterwork painting as a central focus and bookmatched burl veneer panels flanking it. With the touch of a button, the panel with the painting drops to reveal a large video screen. On either side of the cabinet, French doors with beveled glass panes open to the formal dining room and the entry foyer beyond.

The foyer wraps around a spiral stair that extends over three deck levels, forming part of a spacious atrium that is anchored by an inlaid marble compass rose at the bottom and topped by a globe-shape chandelier in the sky lounge. The stair has a wrought-iron railing with wood cap on the inside; wood panels that are masterpieces of carpentry line the outside. Unlike the tight, awkward spirals sometimes found on smaller yachts, Seahawk ‘s stair has a large-diameter open core that makes the stair treads much safer to navigate.

Opening the door to the saloon, though, is an epiphany. Were I a bit older and of the female gender, entering would definitely have inspired an audible “Gracious!

With the exception of the galley, the main deck space forward of the foyer is devoted to the master suite. A wide passageway, with one of the many sculpture alcoves found around the yacht, leads from the foyer to double doors opening into the owner’s study. In addition to a small office, the study includes a sitting room with sofa.

A columned archway frames the entry from the study to the master stateroom. Two hanging lockers, spanning the full beam, are forward of the berth. Additional stowage is in under-berth drawers and in dressers to port and starboard. An emergency escape hatch is in one of the lockers.

The master bath is opposite the study, with his-and-her toilet compartments and a full-size whirlpool tub. The stonework here, as in the guest baths and the foyers on all three levels, is breathtaking in its extent and detail. Bookmatched in two directions, with rope frames and other decorative inlays, the stonework is mounted on a honeycomb structural base to avoid cracking while keeping weight down.

Five guest staterooms occupy the midbody of Seahawk belowdecks. The two forward have twin berths, and the after three have queens. One of the three, just forward of the engineroom, is a full-beam VIP suite that rivals the master in outfit, if not in sheer size. This is just one of many features reflecting Mattei’s yachting experience. In heavy weather with less than a full load of guests, this VIP cabin is sure to become the owner’s refuge for sleeping, as it will have less motion and be much more comfortable than a main deck cabin forward.

Between the forward guest staterooms, a passageway and door lead to the crew lounge. In addition to providing emergency access to a second stairway for guests and crew, the passageway allows stewards to service the guest cabins without entering guest areas on the other decks. In fact, the yacht’s layout allows the crew full access from the bridge to the bilge, from the bow to the stern, without transiting any guest areas. It is a wonderful feature seldom seen, even on yachts this size.

On the bridge deck, an island of cabinets and seating separates the chart and communications area from the helm. Abaft the third-level foyer and captain’s cabin is a sky lounge with game table, bar, and video-viewing and conversation areas. The view is tremendous, with glass on three sides. Another of those lovely inlaid tables aft accommodates alfresco dining. Lounge chairs are abaft the table. There is also an outside seating area forward of the pilothouse.

Wing control stations are provided outboard of the pilothouse for docking and close maneuvering, so there is no need for a helm on the top deck. Instead, this prime real estate is used for a large spa. A day head and bar are aft beneath the radar arch. Two tenders, 17 feet and 19 feet, are stowed fully aft with two personal watercraft on centerline. Four canister liferafts are outboard, ready for immediate deployment.

The attention to detail shown in Seahawk ‘s accommodations is echoed in her engineroom. Large twin sea chests are cross connected for flexibility of operation and are dressed in polished stainless steel for appearance and easy cleaning. Fuel and bilge manifolds, well located for convenient access, are not a leak-prone assembly of valves and piping, but are commercial-style cast manifolds more commonly used on ships. Double water-lift separator mufflers quiet the generator exhausts, and the gensets are wrapped in custom stainless-steel hush boxes.

Recently, Seahawk was sold to a new owner, who has his own vision for her interior and plans to rename her Katherine. Here’s hoping his dream is executed as well as Mattei’s was.

History of Nizhny Tagil

Nizhny Tagil was founded by Tula industrialists Akinfiy Demidov and Nikita Demidov in 1722. The town became the capital of their “iron kingdom”, the largest center of metallurgy in the Russian Empire. October 8, 1722 - the day of putting into operation of Vyisky copper smelter - was the birthday of the mining village of Nizhny Tagil. And three years later, an iron foundry and ironworks were built.

Vysokaya Mountain became a symbol of the wealth of mineral resources of Nizhny Tagil area - iron and copper, gold and platinum, malachite. The iron produced by local factories was well known in England, France, and other Western European countries. In the 19th century, it constantly received awards at international exhibitions.

In the first half of the 19th century, Nizhny Tagil growth was linked first of all with the developing copper, gold, and platinum industry which was one of the leading industries in the Urals at that time.

More Historical Facts…

Industrial orientation of the town defined not only its industrial character, way of life, but also the culture, the development of handicrafts associated with the processing of metal and wood. Made from a thin “soft” iron, brightly painted by very durable “crystal” varnish, Nizhny Tagil trays had great success.

Tagil became the focus of people’s creative thoughts and technical progress. The first in the Russian Empire steam locomotive was made by father and son Cherepanov. By the middle of the 19th century, there were a lot of buildings in the town that later became the monuments of architecture. The population of the town was more than 31 thousand people.

Although Tagil didn’t have the official status of the town, it was in fact a pretty big town with factories, hospitals, schools, its own museum and theater. Nizhny Tagil outnumbered a lot of towns in the Russian Empire; in Permskaya gubernia it was the third largest settlement after Perm and Yekaterinburg.

Nizhny Tagil became a town officially in 1919. The intensive industrial development of the town in the 1930s was predetermined by objectives of building a new coal and metallurgical base in the east of the country. The whole area to the east of the old town turned into one huge construction site. By 1941, along with traditional mining, gold, and metallurgical production the city had developed engineering and chemical industries. During the Second World War, most of the T-34 tanks of the Red Army were produced in Nizhny Tagil.

In the 1940s-1960s, the city’s population rose sharply. During the war years - due to the evacuees, many of whom found a second home here, in the postwar period - due to the large influx of young professionals and workers who arrived on local enterprises and construction sites from all over the Soviet Union.

Today, Nizhny Tagil continues to develop and strengthen the defense and industrial power of Russia. The largest international exhibition of arms is traditionally held here.

Nizhny Tagil - Features

The city is located on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains, in the valley of the Tagil River, about 20-25 km from the border of Europe and Asia at a height of 200 meters above sea level.

Nizhny Tagil is located in the zone of moderate continental climate characterized by sharp variability of weather conditions, well-defined seasons. The average temperature in January is minus 14.5 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 17.8 degrees Celsius.

There is a myth saying that Nizhny Tagil copper was used in the construction of the Statue of Liberty in New York. According to it, the award-winning sheet copper produced by Upper Vyisky factory was bought by the creator of the monument, the sculptor F. Bartholdi who used it to manufacture the outer shell of the statue.

Nizhny Tagil is the largest industrial and transport center in the Middle Urals. Heavy industry plants are leading in the local economy, light and food industries are developing too. Nizhny Tagil metallurgical plant and Uralvagonzavod are the main plants in the city. Tanks T-90 are produced in the city (“Uralvagonzavod”).

Since 1999, Nizhny Tagil hosts arms exhibitions on the basis of the Nizhny Tagil Institute of Metal Testing. The international exhibition of arms, munitions, and military equipment “Russian Expo Arms” and the international exhibition “Russian Defence Expo” are held alternately in early July. Also, every two years, in early September, the Ural exhibition-fair of railway, special vehicles and road construction machinery “Magistral” is held in the city.

In 2015, for the participants of the events, a hotel of the international hotel network Park Inn by Radisson was opened. It is located on the banks of Nizhny Tagil pond (this is the first hotel of this level in the city).

Attractions of Nizhny Tagil

The Factory-Museum of the History of Mining Equipment located under the open sky has an exhibition highlighting the main steps of metallurgical production. The museum is established in the territory of the metallurgical plant that had been founded in the 18th century and operated until 1987.

The Museum of Fine Arts of Nizhny Tagil has the largest collection of paintings made by Hudoyarov. Also it has a small collection of engravings made by the famous German artist Albrecht Durer and one of the most famous paintings in the world, “The Holy Family” of the great Italian artist Raphael Santi.
