Ron Joyce, owner of Destination Fox Harb’r Too, waxed poetic about the yacht during her launch from Trinity Yachts last year, with good reason. Here was a 161-footer that not only featured a light-tone, soothing decor, but also material choices that cleverly lent beauty while simplifying upkeep.
Equally important, Joyce could also envision her serving other dual purposes. Here was a megayacht meant to keep his multi-generation family (grown children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren) together in comfort while also cleverly promoting his Destination Fox Harb’r golf resort in Canada. (If you’ve ever swung a club at the resort, no doubt you’re familiar with the tan tone gracing Destination Fox Harb’r Too’s hull, since it’s the resort’s official color.)

Interesting enough, the overall feel inside and on deck is that of a resort. Or, as interior designer Patrick Knowles likes to put it, “a five-star spa.” Honduran mahogany paneling, with redwood burl, lacewood, and macassar ebony accents, is left natural, not coated with layers of gloss. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, drawing the eye from room to room. While there is a custom mural (of koi) in the dining room, the natural materials serve as fine art themselves.
The natural state of the wood is also practical. If you’ve ever been aboard a yacht with high-gloss wood, no doubt you’ve spied fingerprints and other smudges that inevitably linger. Imagine having to clean and polish those surfaces day after day; even the cheeriest crewmember tires of it.

Something Joyce won’t tire of is the view out the master stateroom. Destination Fox Harb’r Too features a two-level suite, similar to other recent Trinity deliveries like Mine Games. The bedroom is on the top level, benefiting from a curving flank of windows. The lower level has a settee and access to a study. (It’s interesting to note that this study was originally going to be a stateroom. Joyce purchased the 161-footer a few months before her original owner intended to take delivery and christen her Mustang Sally. That owner has since commissioned another new build at Trinity.)
Joyce’s family enjoys four comfortable staterooms, one featuring twin beds, below decks. You’d never know it by looking at it, but the phone desk in the twin stateroom attaches to a door. That door, in turn, conceals a watertight door leading into the crew area. This way, the stews can service the guest staterooms in the morning while everyone is above decks enjoying breakfast. If family members want a cool drink while in their rooms, two Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers are in the guest foyer.






An experienced sailor (he owned a 135-foot Alloy), Joyce decided a few years ago that the space afforded by a motoryacht was the way to go. Looks like he made the right decision.
