Details

One of the most exciting yachts to bring to market, NO BAD IDEAS represents an incredible opportunity to purchase the most thoroughly updated Trinity in existence. Following an extensive 2-year, $20 million refit where every detail was carefully assessed and either replaced or renewed, this yacht now stands as a turn-key masterpiece awaiting its next owner.

 

With a thoughtfully designed layout, NO BAD IDEAS comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests across 6 staterooms. This includes an on-deck master suite, an on-deck VIP cabin, and four king staterooms below deck, two of which can be converted into twin accommodations.

 

Renowned for its opulent interiors, A La Mer tastefully redesigned NO BAD IDEAS with the focus extended to the exterior spaces of the yacht as well. From the expansive seating area forward of the bridge featuring a fire pit, to the revamped flybridge equipped with a spacious bar and a ten-person jacuzzi, to the 10-foot extension on the stern that creates a remarkable water-level lounging space complete with a second ten-person jacuzzi.

 

When considering its charter potential, NO BAD IDEAS emerges as a standout option in its size range, offering a peerless platform for unforgettable experiences. The owner is open to selling a 50% ownership share to potential buyers.
