TCB Yacht Description
-
2 x E-Foils:
The most popular new toy right now for silent, fast rides above the water. -
Oversized waterslide:
Big hit for kids and adults, turning swim stops into an all-day playground. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Less roll at night and during meals, so everyone sleeps and relaxes better.
Refit that matters. TCB is a 164ft (50m) Trinity Yachts motor yacht built in 2008 and refit in 2022, set up to sleep up to 12 guests in five cabins. The big win is the modernization: you get the scale of a proven American build, with the feel of a much newer charter platform.
Water time, simplified. Beach club, extended swim platform, and an inflatable dock at the stern. Translation: quicker changeovers between swimming, toys, and “just one more go,” without turning the aft deck into a logistics meeting.
Sundeck living. A deck Jacuzzi and a gym for the people who like a routine, plus sun pads and sun loungers for everyone else. Stabilizers at anchor help keep the boat steady while the group does absolutely nothing.
Toys with range. Two Sea-Doo GTI 170 waverunners, two Seabobs, two E-Foils, and an oversized waterslide when it’s available. Add a 38' (11.6m) 2021 Scout tender (4 x 350hp Mercury) and a 21' inflatable tender, and you have a setup that can handle both fast runs and easy beach drops.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like TCB, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($43,750 - $70,000), making the charter cost $218,750 to $245,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
