Trinity Yachts
US Gulf Coast builder of steel and aluminium yachts up to 74 m, working from New Orleans and, after Katrina, Gulfport. Harvey Gulf bought it in 2015 to focus on offshore vessels and put the New Orleans yacht yard up for sale the same year; Trinity has not built new yachts since around 2015 and should be treated as closed to yacht building.
