- Up top, the flybridge features a spacious lounge, Jacuzzi, full-service wet bar, and a new propane barbecue, plus a large boat deck for toys and tender storage. Aft, the cockpit offers alfresco dining around a varnished teak table, with dual stairways down to the swim platform for easy water access.

Construction
- DIRT POOR was built by Trinity Yachts with a robust aluminum hull and superstructure, paired with teak and non-skid decks for both elegance and practicality. She is a raised pilothouse, semi-displacement motor yacht - a design that blends efficiency, seaworthiness, and comfort at sea.
- Trinity Yachts is recognized worldwide for producing high-quality aluminum yachts that combine strength, performance, and timeless style. DIRT POOR reflects this pedigree, offering her next owners the assurance of proven American craftsmanship backed by thoughtful maintenance and continuous upgrades.
Accommodations
- Accessed from the starboard foyer with impressive headroom, DIRT POOR’s guest accommodations are on the lower deck and comprise four spacious, ensuite staterooms. Aft, the full-beam master suite is a private retreat with a king-size bed, oversized walk-in closet, sofa, abundant drawer storage, and a luxurious his-and-hers bath with separate toilets, a spa-style Jacuzzi tub, and a generous shower. Large portholes bring in natural light for a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
- Forward are two matching queen VIP staterooms to port and starboard, each with excellent storage and ensuite baths. Amidships, a twin stateroom with Pullman comfortably hosts additional family or guests. All staterooms are equipped with entertainment systems (televisions and satellite TV) for comfort and convenience.
- Crew AreaForward in the bow, the crew quarters accommodate up to six crew in three cabins, served by two separate heads with showers.
Machinery
- DIRT POOR is powered by twin Caterpillar 3412C diesels, each rated at 1,350 hp. As of September 2025, both engines report approximately 8,020 hours, with the port engine receiving a complete rebuild in 2024. Trinity’s use of the 3412C series underscores their reputation for durability, worldwide service support, and long lifecycle reliability. With consistent service, DIRT POOR’s power package remains a proven platform for safe, extended cruising.
- Supporting systems have been well cared for and upgraded as needed, including generator rebuilds, air-conditioning replacement, and shore power conversion. Her machinery spaces reflect the continuous maintenance program that has kept the yacht in strong operational condition.
