Review: Trinity Yachts 122' Sportfish "Mary P"

A wide scan of the entire salon presents multiple deep cushioned seating all the way to the aft deck’s sliding glass doors. Beautiful ash-mahogany woodwork and a full view of the illustrious classic leaping giant marlin make this a continually startling welcome.

This photo displays the full area arrangement, looking forward. Artistic, elegantly appointed fabrics, cushioning and expert use of contrasting woods make this on openly inviting space. Of special note is the air conditioning vents that double as an art form, tracing an outline of strategic spaces to flow cool air directly over hot anglers, where ever they might gather. They run throughout the ceiling like a mouse maze.

At the forward end of the salon, the galley bar and robust, wooden swivel chairs demand notice. The bar top favors the same granite found throughout other surfaces, except the prep area countertops have raised, fiddle-like edges in case the mag-lifts can't offset the swells.

Spread out, excellent space utilization shows the care the designers took with endlessly complicated detail. A huge, walk-around, centered, counter/prep space. Copious cabinetry for massive storage. Beautifully finished ash/mahogany woodwork and trim. Truly, space utilization at its best.

The galley aft viewpoint displays not only a marvellous, creative prep/cooking space, but also, at the side portion of this photo, previews the dining table as an attractive quick snack area.

Booth style, diner seating dominates the starboard beam with a view of marina life outside, or an etched glass view of marine life inside, just forward. The granite-topped dining table easily welcomes eight to ten for fresh caught fish. Above, a moonlike lighting fixture softly illuminates but doesn’t overpower the design scheme. In setting an ambiance, lighting plays a big role. Notice the recessed lighting emanating from under the booth seats?

The designers’ artistic sense roars into view here in their treatment of a simple staircase; as it leaps into an expression of beauty. Now this former “cabbage patch plain” presentation becomes an artistic statement of mauve-tinted russet/fawn; a pleasure to the eye as well as the soles.

The most admired and sought-after quarry is never far from the angler’s mind. This is his obsession-come-to-life. And so, he is reminded of this hallowed charm each time he or she confronts it in his dining room; and now also on entry to their stateroom – with this deep-etched portrait of the most wanted prey.

The softness of her design’s color scheme continues, matching in all aspects and textures, creating a restful atmosphere in the Master Stateroom. Overhead recessed lighting brightens the room with a soft glow. A 49” TV/DVD is ready and waiting at the foot of the bed.

An alternate portrait of the Master Stateroom emphasizes the designer’s expressive talent for space and bodily comfort. All the yacht’s warm and inviting design elements are reverberated here.

In full bloom of the sea, the mural on the wall displays this particular owner’s individual interest and perhaps, obsession.

Beautifully rendered, the designer’s artistic flair continues in the Master Bath. Traced in soft woods, lined in leather and reflected in many mirrors, the inventive theme expresses the vitality the designers, as well as the skill and execution of the craftsmen at Trinity.

Presenting a personal toilet as well as a bidet, the Master Bath also tiptoes nicely into the yacht’s excellent design pattern, but we question wood floors in an area to prone to middle of the night mistakes. With a sheer glass door; the transition from toilette to shower is easily effected.

Large enough to oblige the entire family, the Master Shower and Tub is moulded to appear like an enclosed rock quarry carved from absolute granite. Or, perhaps a small perfect coral reef section that has been secretly removed and disjointed, smuggled into the... back yard? of a 122’ yacht? The tub is also a special design with steps leading up to it; while the back-lit, etched glass walls sport murals of underwater sponges and marine life. Quite novel, and done with excellent style, so it appears the entire spaces are luxuriating deep below the surface of the sea.

Just outside the master, located in the hallway, a compact but all-inclusive ship’s laundry is a working room in itself, quite ready to handle all the daily laundering chores. The room includes a large washer-dryer, wash basin, folding counters, plus a full fold-down ironing system. Numerous small drawers and cabinets hold all the cleansing accoutrements for keeping up with the days and weeks aboard.

“Impressive” is the only word to describe this yacht’s impressive interior design patterns. Heeding to the color and fabric mixtures throughout, she presents an extremely well balanced, blended approach. While, to many naval architects and designers, this rising hallway is simply a place for wall paint and rubber treads, the designers have opted for well-fashioned and artistic colors, interesting wall decor, and an inside stairway with patterned risers. No question, a work of impressive good taste. Notice the cut-outs in the carpet? The steps lift to provide access to additional storage.

Her Guest Suite has also benefited from the design theme. Taking a page from that expression; the suite blends a quilted bed cover in the light gold-brown. Swivelling head board lamps provide illumination for reading. Each cabin has separate thermostat for comfort. The vessel also has fresh air make-up or replenishment to keep the interior fresh and eliminates need for opening port holes or hatches.

Zooming in on the Guest Suite, we see the room is easily capacious for two; and the bed’s “underwater” head-board illustration is in perfect sync. Twin bed lights and a color overhead make this a sure bet for sound, restful sleep.

Following the Master Bath decor on a considerably more modest scale, we see the Guest Bath nevertheless echoes the decor theme and colors. Its large sink basin and mirrored vanity nicely fill the ordinary needs, while the private bath/shower closet is also more than adequate, compared to many others.

The ever-present need to stay in shape is no lesser a qualification aboard a 122’ sportfish pleasure yacht. Except, however, when the offshore angling is at its roughneck and barbarian best, who needs to ride a mechanical bike to nowhere? Nevertheless, this fully furnished ocean master still has one and if the need arises, the gym has Pullman berths on two walls. Simply take the equipment off the yacht and this becomes a twin berth stateroom.
