Dirt Poor is a 49 m motor yacht built by Trinity in 2007 (refitted 2026), for 12 guests in 5 cabins with 9 crew. Charter from US$195,000 per week in summer (Croatia, Greece and Italy); in winter from US$195,000 (Bahamas, Virgin Islands and Caribbean), plus expenses.
A 49-metre Trinity, formerly La Dea II, that has cruised from the Galápagos to Indonesia and now spends winter in the Caribbean with a dive instructor on the crew.
The name is new, the yacht is not. Trinity Yachts built her in 2007 as Maidelle; she later chartered for years as La Dea II and now carries the name Dirt Poor, after a fresh refit in 2026.
What sets her apart from most motor yachts of this size is how far she has been. Her log includes the Galápagos, Tahiti and the Society Islands, the Cook Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu, then Australia, Myanmar and Indonesia. For the next seasons her ground is closer to home for most guests: from mid-November 2026 she is based in the Caribbean, between the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and the Windward chain.
Diving is the other reason to look at her. A PADI instructor is part of the crew, there is a compressor on board and enough gear for all twelve guests plus a dive master, and beginners can ask in advance for an introductory try-dive. The yacht is also approved by the RYA for watersports, so first-timers on a jet ski get lessons before heading off. She is quicker than the usual displacement yacht, cruising around 18 knots with a top speed near 22, which makes it realistic to see several Bahamian cays in one week rather than one or two.
Inside, Evan K Marshall and Sylvie Charest designed the rooms. Upstairs, the principal stateroom fills the beam of the main deck and adds a study and two separate walk-in wardrobes; four cabins below share the rest, two with king beds and two twins. At anchor, stabilisers built to work while she is stationary take most of the roll out of a passing swell.
She fits families or friends who want to dive every day, learn if they have never tried, and move around quickly. Groups who need six or more separate rooms, or who care more about a big spa than about what lies under the water, will be better served elsewhere.
