M/Y Nicole Evelyn
A 2005 Trinity Yachts 157-footer refreshed in 2024 and ready to run.
"Nicole Evelyn" is a 2005 Trinity Yachts 157' motor yacht offered for sale at $17,900,000, lying Newport, Rhode Island. South Florida is the deepest brokerage market in the world for large motor yachts, and condition separates the good buys from the money pits - which is why independent buyer representation matters more here than anywhere.
Power is twin Caterpillar 3512B, 2,250 hp each. She cruises around 14 knots and tops out near 19 knots, carrying 16,700 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 5 staterooms for 11 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 10.

That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
