About This Vessel
measures 160 ft, and is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, powered by 2x Caterpillar D3512B 2250.00HP.
After a $20 million, two-year refit completed in April 2024, NO BAD IDEAS has emerged as the most extensively updated Trinity yacht in existence. Now offered in like-new condition, this motor yacht is an engineering showcase, designed for discerning buyers who understand the value of a turnkey platform backed by proven pedigree and modern capability.The scope of technical work sets NO BAD IDEAS apart. Her hull was extended by 10 feet, and her keel lengthened by approximately 25 feet, with more than 27 tons of added ballast to enhance performance and stability. Over 60% of the hull plating was renewed, including key structural areas below the engine room and forward bilges, while all through-hulls, stern tubes, rudder foils, and stabilizer foundations were replaced or re-engineered. The rudders were enlarged by 25%, improving handling and control.Above deck, a redesigned superstructure includes a new mast and hardtop, an entirely reimagined flybridge with a forward Jacuzzi, custom bar, and U-shaped dining, as well as an overhauled Portuguese bridge lounge with fire pit seating. The bridge deck aft was redesigned for fluid guest flow and features shaded dining for 12 and a spacious wraparound aft settee. Dual 10-person Jacuzzis, one on the swim platform and one on the flybridge, anchor the yacht’s emphasis on outdoor living. A new Shark Gray Awlgrip hull and Matterhorn White superstructure, combined with full teak deck replacement, elevate both aesthetics and longevity.Inside, the yacht was stripped and reimagined by A La Mer, including the conversion of the formal dining room into a main deck VIP spa suite with a convertible massage table. The main salon is fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, an L-shaped sofa, automated sliding doors, and seamless flow into the formal lounge. Upstairs, the bridge deck sky lounge is outfitted with an 85” TV, surround sound, a self-playing baby grand piano, and a built-in cigar humidor. A newly constructed galley features high-end appliances, stonework, and cabinetry. Behind the scenes, a Savant AV system, satellite TV, dual Starlink antennas, and Sailor VSAT provide cutting-edge connectivity and control.
