ODIN is a thirty eight metre Trinity from 2001, last refreshed in a 2023 refit, an American built tri deck motor yacht with the quiet confidence of an aluminium hull and a classic, timeless interior. She looks after eight guests across four cabins with a crew of six, and her appeal is a warm, considered interior by Claudette Bonville, generous shaded decks and the relaxed, sea kindly manner of a proper go anywhere yacht. For a family or a group of friends who want space, comfort and the reassurance of a solidly built American yacht, she reads as calm, gracious and genuinely welcoming through a long week aboard.
Her point of difference is the Trinity build. The Mississippi yard built its name on well engineered aluminium motor yachts for owners who valued substance and longevity, and ODIN carries that character throughout, with an aluminium hull and superstructure, a planted, easy ride and an interior of warm timber and soft light. A long history of care, with refits carried through to 2023, keeps her feeling current and well kept, and the twin Caterpillar engines underneath deliver a quiet, unhurried cruise that settles calmly into a long passage.
Life in the open air spreads across the decks. The main deck aft carries a soft sofa along the stern with a raised table and chairs for alfresco dining, two sun loungers sit in the shade beneath the upper deck overhang, and the flybridge opens into a generous run of sun pads with a shaded dining setting under the hardtop and space aft for the tender and the toys. A sea level swim platform gives easy access to the water, and the broad, shaded decks mean there is always a comfortable corner to be found whether in the sun or out of it.
Inside, the main deck is warm and composed. The main salon gathers around soft sofas and chairs with the sea drawn in through large windows, a bright, inviting room finished in rich timber. Forward, a formal dining area seats the full party beneath soft light around a generous table, while a full galley in timber and stone serves the main deck close to the dining area and the crew. The finish is timeless throughout, honey toned joinery against pale upholstery, a gracious look that feels bright by day and soft in the evening, carried from room to room.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests, a master suite, two double cabins and a twin with a Pullman berth. The master takes a private, well lit position with a wide bed, generous storage and its own bathroom, while the double and twin cabins, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party below. It is a flexible plan that suits a family or a group of friends, the twin and its Pullman ready for children or younger guests sharing, every cabin lined in warm timber.
Under way she is exactly what an aluminium Trinity should be, a quiet, composed yacht that holds an easy cruise hour after hour and settles calmly at anchor in the most sheltered of coves. Her natural ground is the Bahamas, Florida and the wider Caribbean, the clear water and quiet anchorages of the Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands all within comfortable reach. Beautifully built, warmly finished and run by an experienced crew of six, ODIN is a relaxed and gracious way to charter for a group that values space, comfort and the freedom to slow down.
