2000 Trinity Yachts 150 Trinity

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 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.

Six staterooms sleep 12 guests, including a full-beam master on the main deck with a his-and-her en-suite, two walk-in closets, and a private sitting area. Two VIP suites below deck each feature king beds and dual-vanity en-suites, while two convertible twin-to-king cabins add versatility. The main deck VIP spa suite doubles as a wellness retreat.

With her ABS Class survey recently completed and every major component either replaced or rebuilt, NO BAD IDEAS is future-proofed. She also presents an exceptional charter platform, thanks to her spacious guest layout, expansive deck spaces, and full tech and toy suite. In a market full of partial refits and cosmetic upgrades, NO BAD IDEAS is the rare yacht that delivers complete transformation, built on sound engineering, smart investment, and a clear vision.
