CARPE DIEM

CARPE DIEM is a 58.2-metre aluminium displacement yacht built by Trinity Yachts in 2011, refitted in 2024, and registered in the Cayman Islands. At 749 gross tonnes she accommodates 12 guests across six cabins with a crew of 11, with interiors designed by Carol Williamson & Associates. Trinity Yachts, the Louisiana-based American yard, built a consistent reputation for substantial, well-engineered vessels in this size range, and CARPE DIEM represents a mature example of that output — a serious charter platform with a 5,000-nautical-mile range and the structural solidity of an aluminium hull suited to extended use across two ocean basins.

CARPE DIEM operates across the Mediterranean and Caribbean, covering the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Corsica, the Bahamas, Antigua, Saint Martin, and St Barts. The 2024 refit ensures that guests arriving aboard encounter a vessel that has been brought fully up to current standards rather than simply maintained. She is well suited to groups of 12 who want a generously scaled yacht with a capable crew and a range that accommodates passage-making rather than mere coastal hopping. Guests seeking a more intimate scale or a European custom-build pedigree may find a different vessel more aligned with their preferences.

The character of CARPE DIEM is one of American build quality applied to a broadly Atlantic cruising proposition. Her Portuguese bridge, owner study, and gym speak to a vessel conceived for extended use rather than short-season deployment. The jacuzzi and deck jacuzzi, sunpads, and sun deck address the outdoor leisure dimensions of warm-water charter, while stabilizers both underway and at anchor, bow thruster, and underwater lights complete the operational picture for a vessel expected to perform across varied conditions.

The watersports programme includes four waverunners, a wakeboard, water skis, an inflatable trampoline, and beach games. Notably, CARPE DIEM carries scuba equipment for six guests along with an on-board dive compressor — a provision that signals a genuine commitment to diving rather than a token inclusion. Snorkelling equipment supports guests who prefer surface activities. The swimming platform and underwater lights further support water access and evening ambience at anchor.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
