Launched by the owner of Canadian fast food restaurant chain, Tim Hortons, the 2008 luxury motoryacht, DESTINATION FOXHARB’R TOO is now available for either a Caribbean yacht charter in the fall and winter, or a Mediterranean yacht charter in the summer. Built by Trinity Yachts, DESTINATION FOXHARB’R TOO adds a new dimension to the luxury charter market and is the fourth yacht for fast food chain Tim Hortons owner, Ron Joyce.
It’s hard to imagine that a simple idea for a few coffee and doughnut shops would grow into Canada’s fast food giant, Tim Hortons Inc. (NYSE symbol: THI) and such success would spill over to Canadian investor Ron Joyce and his love for a Trinity Yachts luxury yacht charter megayacht.
The Canada-based fast food restaurant chain is best known for its coffee and doughnuts. It was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario by Canadian hockey player, Tim Horton. In 1967, Horton partnered with investor, Ron Joyce, who quickly took over operations and expanded the chain into a multi-million dollar franchise.

The franchises spread rapidly and eventually overtook McDonald’s as Canada’s largest food service operator. The company opened twice as many Canadian outlets as McDonald’s, and system-wide sales also surpassed those of McDonald’s Canadian operations as of 2002. The chain commands 76% of the Canadian market for baked goods (based on the number of customers served) and holds 62% of the Canadian coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the number two position, at 7%). As of July 1, 2007, the company had 2,733 restaurants in Canada.
The fast food chain also has an international presence including 345 outlets in the United States.
The owner is delighted with his new yacht, expressing perhaps the subjective point of view that it was initially designed just for him. Her new name follows that refrain as well. The entrepreneur also owns a five-star golf resort in Nova Scotia. The resort and his other yachts also bear variations of the name Fox Harb’r.
The luxury yacht charter megayacht he appreciates so vigorously had inaugurated its build as Mustang Sally, for an owner who, in the middle of the project, decided he wanted a larger yacht. So, through a series of stunning alterations in decor, the still brand new and yet-to-be-finished yacht weathered a sea-change, to bloom as the new star of the owner’s flourishing convoy.
Sumptuousness and excellent taste are readily evident in this megayacht. The Patrick Knowles Design interior reflects a refreshingly cool style influenced by a European Spa Resort. The interior features tailored sophisticated fabrics, stonework showcasing Beaumaniere limestone, river rock pebbles, walnut Travertine, and satin nickel accents. The rich millwork is a palate of Redwood burl, Lacewood, Macassa ebony, and Honduran mahogany. Hand-carved glass panels inset into passage doors throughout add a sense of art and dimension to her interior. A stunning mural on the forward bulkhead of the dining room provides a dramatic backdrop for the otherwise serene décor.
State-of-the-art electronics are available throughout this mega yacht and include V-SAT constant Wi-Fi internet, Crestron video and audio equipment, flat screen TV’s with individual satellite receivers, surround sound, and iPod docking stations. This luxury motoryacht is also environmentally friendly, equipped with an ozone-based water treatment system.
This superyacht can accommodate 10 to 12 guests in 5 to 6 staterooms, depending on the charter party’s requirements. A professional crew of 10, which includes a captain, an engineer, a gourmet chef, a lead hostess, and several deckhands, is onboard to cater to the charter guests’ every need.
