A tale of two refits: Maverick II and Triumphant Lady get new life in South Florida

Two 20-year-old Sterling megayachts were being refit in South Florida in September. But the similarities end there.

On Feb. 1, the 138-foot M/Y Maverick II, the former M/Y Ice Bear, tucked into Derecktor’s in Dania Beach for a quick eight-week safety upgrade. Six months later, she was finishing an ABS 5-year survey, a W4 on her engines, and some significant-but-forced-upon her cosmetic improvements.
