Built in Holland, Hakvoort yacht MY TRUST will cruise under the Dutch flag. As testament to her Dutch roots, the design even utilizes the colors of the Dutch flag - white and blue with touches of red!  The superyacht emphasizes high-style elegance with accommodations for 10 guests.

The owner’s suite, which has been created with the teak veneer theme utilized frequently throughout the vessel, is on the main deck. It features a four-poster king-sized bed, an LCD flat screen television that can be retracted, and walk-in closet. The suite also contains a study with leather chairs and a large desk.
    
The owner’s bathroom is unusually spacious and comes with some special amenities – a whirlpool bath and shower with a glass door, a sauna with 8 infrared heater panels and a treadmill with an attached television. The walls and floors are limestone, and the color scheme is white and brown with blue and white striped window treatments.

The four guest suites are on the lower deck.  One of the double VIP guest suites is similar in design to the owner’s suite with dark wood furnishings, a deep blue carpet, and blue and white window treatments. The other double VIP suite also features dark wood furnishings with white walls and blue and white linens. The twin cabins follow the same design as the second VIP suite. All guest cabins have ensuite bathrooms.

One of the main features of this is the exceptional number of dining and seating areas. The dining area and main salon are on the main deck and separated by a partition that contains a mirror on the side that faces the dining area and artwork, with a hidden flatscreen television behind it, and a fireplace on the side that faces the salon.

The main aft deck contains a covered casual dining area with a U-shaped sofa, two teak tables, and two chairs. From here, you can climb the stairways to the swimming platform.
      
A splendid bar with a refrigerator, icemaker, beer tender and espresso machine immediately greets visitors coming up the stairway in the bridge deck corridor. 

The bridge deck lounge is all about fun with a game table and AV equipment for movies. The adjacent sky lounge salon features an LCD flat screen television. The sky lounge aft deck has a dining area that seats 8, as well as two couches adjacent.
    
The aft bridge deck can be heated, or an electronically operated awning can be utilized when the sun is too hot. Another unusual feature is a that can enclose the full aft deck.
