Her name means “beautiful girl” or “princess” in a Mexican dialect, and she’s now in her owner’s hands. The 164-foot (49.9-meter) megayacht Tsumat, which made her global premiere at the Fort Lauderdale show in October, was delivered from Trinity Yachts’ Gulfport, Mississippi facility this month.
Tsumat is for a repeat client of both Trinity Yachts and Espinosa, which contributed to her interior in conjunction with Loguer Design. Espinosa had previously worked with the owner on Tajin, a 147-foot (44.8-meter) megayacht. In fact, the owner liked the open layout of Tajin, since he was able to entertain family and friends well, so Tsumat is similar in having big, flowing spaces. A 27’9” (8.5-meter) beam makes it feel all the more spacious.
Of course, Tsumat has Trinity’s own spin on general arrangements, such as a two-level master forward on the main deck and a raised section of the main aft deck, which makes room for the overhead tender davit in the transom garage. Tsumat has a decor all her own, too, with striking lattice-like walnut overheads, and abundant use of onyx (backlit in some areas) for soles, furnishing inserts, and even wall panels. Oak, leather, marble, and granite further feature prominently. Some of the stone came from Mexican quarries, and Espinosa and Loguer Design also incorporated elements of Mexican art.
Because the megayacht’s owner likes to cruise with multiple family members, two twin staterooms below decks aboard Tsumat are dedicated to kids, who are welcome to take along friends. The other two staterooms down here are king-size for grown-ups. A queen stateroom, again for adults, is on Tsumat’s bridge deck, benefitting from nice views. It’s customary for everyone to dine together aft of the skylounge, beneath the shaded overhang of the sundeck. Certainly the 11-person-strong crew will appreciate that, as it makes service simpler. (There’s also formal dining for 12 inside on the main deck, but really, alfresco dining is the norm.) Smaller groups can eat together on the expansive sundeck, while others lounge here on the sunpads or in the 10-person hot tub. They might even choose to work out on gym equipment, right on deck. When the kids go to bed, the adults can gather at the skylounge’s bar, After-dinner drinks can also be enjoyed in the saloon, courtesy of the bar and wine cellar in the aft-deck entry.
Like many previous Trinitys, Tsumat is an all-aluminum build, which allows a shallower draft than steel. The half-load draft of about seven and a half feet (just shyof 2.4 meters) puts Bahamian islands and other skinny-water destinations within reach. A reported top speed of just over 22 knots, thanks to twin 3,384-hp Caterpillars, will make quick work of island hopping. And a reported range of 3,700 nautical miles at a leisurely 10 knots puts other destinations worldwide within reach.
