The Challenge

This distinguished Feadship required a comprehensive transformation addressing hull integrity, technical systems obsolescence, and interior modernization while maintaining her classic lines and heritage.

Complete hull survey, fairing, painting, and underwater gear inspection
Phase 2: Technical Systems Overhaul
Engine rebuild, electrical upgrade, hydraulic systems, HVAC replacement
Phase 3: Interior Transformation
Complete joinery refinish, upholstery replacement, AV integration
Phase 4: Sea Trials & Certification
Performance verification, regulatory compliance, crew training

"American Yacht Service orchestrated an extraordinarily complex refit with precision and professionalism. The vessel returned to service ahead of charter season, exceeding our expectations in every dimension."

M/Y Atlantic Star — 48m Benetti — Sardinia

72 Hours
Porto Cervo, Sardinia
Generator Failure
Peak Mediterranean Charter

The Challenge

During peak Mediterranean charter season, M/Y Atlantic Star experienced complete generator failure while hosting high-profile guests in Sardinia. With no backup power and guests onboard, the vessel required immediate technical intervention to preserve the charter experience and prevent significant financial loss.

Our Solution

Our 24/7 emergency response team mobilized immediately:

  • Factory-certified Benetti technician deployed from Monaco within 12 hours
  • Emergency generator parts sourced and air-freighted to Sardinia
  • Temporary shore power coordination with marina management
  • Guest comfort maintained through alternative climate control solutions
  • Complete generator rebuild performed in 48-hour window
  • Full system testing and crew training on preventive maintenance

"Their response was extraordinary. Guests never felt the impact of the technical challenge, and we completed the charter program without interruption. This is the definition of professional yacht management support."

Interior Transformation

S/Y Aurora — 55m Sailing Yacht — Palma de Mallorca

10 Months
Palma de Mallorca
Complete Interior Redesign
Award-Winning Design

The Challenge

This classic 55-meter sailing yacht featured dated 1990s interior design that no longer reflected the owner's aesthetic preferences or modern yacht standards. The challenge was to modernize completely while preserving the vessel's heritage character and classic sailing yacht charm.

Our Solution

We partnered with a renowned yacht interior designer to create a timeless transformation:

  • Complete joinery removal and replacement with contemporary teak and walnut
  • Custom furniture design respecting classic yacht proportions
  • Premium leather and fabric upholstery in neutral, timeless palette
  • Modern lighting systems integrated discreetly throughout
  • State-of-the-art entertainment and communications technology
  • Climate control upgrade maintaining period-appropriate aesthetics

"They achieved the impossible: a thoroughly modern interior that feels like it has always belonged to this classic yacht. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the design honors her heritage beautifully."
