Professionals Opinions on Tricon Marine’s builds

“ A slender, wave-piercing hull that evokes International America’s Cup Class sailing yachts provides a seaworthy
ride even in the roughest conditions, while the rectangular superstructure suggests a buttoned down cruiser for rain-soaked climes.
For the enjoyment of pleasant weather, NISI 2400 has an observation deck, an open-aft cockpit, and a convenient swim platform
at the stern.  Named Wings and Water, Production Boat – Best of the Best 2011.”
- Robb Report Magazine, Best of the Best Issue, June 2011

” Who says you have to compromise speed for the comfort of a displacement hull?  Tricon Marine mixes a new recipe for success
with an original hull design that combines seaworthiness with high performance. NISI represents evolution in design with many
of the improvements made possible by a combination of modern technology and sound principles. It should help to put China
on the map as a serious yacht-building nation and Tricon Marine at the top of its list of quality yacht builders.
- Showboats Magazine, June 2011

” After years of seeking the perfect floating beach club, we may have discovered something very close in NISI 2400. It’s the nautical
embodiment of the spirit of Caf. Del Mar, Nikki Beach and Miami South Beach… it’s naturally quite special.
- Craig Barnett, Editor, Yachts Emirates Magazine,  May 2011

“No other yacht I’ve tested in recent years has been able to perform like this. NISI produces a truly magic carpet ride.”
- Dag Pike, Renowned Yachtsman & Navigator, January 2011

“ This is a breakthrough. Nobody has built under 80-feet to commercial RINA and MCA certification before.“
- Bruce Maxwell, Yachtsman and Journalist,  December  2010

“Nothing But Impressive”
I had the fortunate opportunity to meet the Argos team last year at the Ft. Lauderdale show. After a brief conversation, he stated that he was coming out with a high quality, long range, line of yachts.  It sounded good but, is this just another line of boats in a long list of players? Well this year the boat is an actuality. I boarded the Argos 92′ at the show, and met with the Argos team. Immediately the first impression is of high quality indeed, clean, and stoutly built.

Little did I know the “real” difference between the Argos and the competitive yachts in the arena. The one piece joinery, the finished bilge areas, the high quality fabrics and materials, the absence of air vents and grills, hidden behind valances, the placement of systems to be 100% accessible, the overbuilt hardware, the list just goes on and on.

The finish work is impeccable, the layout is amongst the best I’ve seen, practical yet elegant. An upper deck master, did we say 160 footer? The bilge and engine room are the cleanest I’ve seen. Well thought out and accessible. If the sea keeping abilities, ride and performance levels are equal to the build quality the Argos really has something.  Knowing and seeing first hand, I’d say Argos has done it!

Great job, I can’t wait to see the next one… Thanks for the tour.”

“I just want to thank you for showing me through the Argos G92’. As a broker with 15 years experience in selling and building yachts and a captain with 18 years experience in operating them I have to say I was quite impressed with the vessel. The execution over all was very good and the interior layout and finish was well done and well thought out. ”

” I was very impressed with not only the fit and finish of the vessel but also the thought and quality of some of the features and systems. This is especially commendable when considering that this is the first yacht out of a brand new yard. The woodwork is excellent, as is the attention to detail throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending your yard to any of my clients who may be considering building a custom yacht.”

“I have been involved in new build projects at shipyards around the world and I’m advising my clients that the Argos 92′ stands out as the value proposition in this segment of the luxury new construction market. Just a few unique features about her I find most impressive:

- gorgeous interior that is both modern and timeless without contradiction
- quality finish and joiner work throughout
- innovative layout with excellent crew flow
- maximum on-deck space for lounging and entertaining
- bold and striking lines
- a hull designed, tested, and built for both long-range economical passage and comfortable high speed cruising

This is a user friendly yacht indeed!”
