A fully equipped wet bar and serving area is located in the cabin along with lounging spaces and an entertainment center that includes a widescreen multimedia display.

All of Trilogy’s vessels are USCG certified sailing catamarans, and all personnel from deckhands to senior captains maintain certification in CPR, First Responder, Ocean Safety Skills and DE-fib. Scuba and snorkel tours are under the supervision of one or more ocean safety specialists at all times.
