History

Trinity was founded in 1988 by Billy Smith and John Dane. It was then part of the Halter Marine Group. In 2000 Trinity was sold to Smith, Dane, and Felix Sabates.

At that time Sabates was the owner of the Trinity yacht Big Easy. Bill Smith also owned a Trinity yacht, a 35 meter (114ft) motor yacht named Leda. In 2013 Trinity was sold to private equity investor Littlejohn & Co and in 2015 Trinity was sold again to Harvey Gulf International.  

But that same year Harvey Gulf put the New Orleans yard, the Trinity name, and all designs for sale at an asking price of about $30 million.

SuperYachtFan

What started as a ‘yacht spotter’ hobby, turned into a fast-growing yachting site with thousands of unique daily visitors.

In 2009 SuperYachtFan in its current format was published online and soon the focus changed from ‘yacht photos’ to ‘yacht owners’, creating the Super Yacht Owners Register. A database with more than 1,450 yacht owners.

This was an instant success as many people around the world are interested in, or curious about, these multi-million dollar yachts and their wealthy owners. (Luxury travels of the Billionaire Boys Club)

Investigative journalism

The SuperYachtFan team is active in Investigative journalism. We spend a lot of team researching and deeply investigating yacht ownership structures.

Our reporting is copied and/or used by many international media companies.

SuperYacht Site

With thousands of daily visitors and a strong growth rate, SuperYachtFan became one of the largest ‘superyacht sites’. We realize the most organic search traffic of all known yachting websites.

Social Media

We are active on social media including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

Disclaimer

The details about yacht ownership as stated on this site and in our Yacht Owners Register are sometimes based on rumors. Often actual yacht ownership by the private individuals mentioned can not be confirmed, at least from a legal point of view.

On the other hand… where there’s smoke, there is fire ;-)
