Description

TRIUMPHANT LADY | 155’ Sterling Motor YachtProject Yacht Opportunity | Solid Bones | Running Machinery

Broker Overview

TRIUMPHANT LADY is a 155’ pedigree motor yacht designed by the legendary Jon Bannenberg and built by Sterling Yachts, representing a rare opportunity to acquire a large-volume superyacht with strong fundamentals already in place.

This is a project yacht with solid bones and running machinery, offering the right buyer a chance to step into a proven platform and bring her to the next level—whether for private use or charter repositioning.

Following a prior refit, she retains standout features including a dramatic three-story atrium, elevator access, and expansive guest areas typically found on much newer builds.

This is not a cookie-cutter yacht—it’s a value-driven entry into the 150’+ class with real upside.

Why This Yacht Stands Out

  • 155’ platform with massive interior volume
  • Iconic Bannenberg design pedigree
  • 3-story atrium with spiral staircase centerpiece
  • Elevator servicing guest areas
  • Dedicated spa/massage room + gym
  • Strong charter history (Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida)
  • 5 stateroom layout for 10 guests + crew of 9

Key Specifications

  • Builder: Sterling Yachts
  • Designer: Jon Bannenberg
  • Year: 1985 (Refit 2009)
  • Length: 155’ (47.25m)
  • Beam: 26’6”
  • Draft: 7’6”
  • Construction: GRP hull & superstructure
  • Engines: Twin Caterpillar 3512TA
  • Cruise Speed: ~12 knots
  • Max Speed: ~14.5 knots
  • Guests: 10
  • Cabins: 5
  • Crew: 9

Layout & Interior

The defining feature of TRIUMPHANT LADY is her three-level atrium, creating a sense of scale and openness rarely seen even in modern yachts. This central design element connects the main living spaces via a sweeping spiral staircase.

The main salon offers elevated seating, entertainment systems, and a full-service bar, while a separate circular dining salon provides a formal setting for 8–10 guests.

Accommodations include:

  • Full-beam on-deck master suite
  • Two queen staterooms aft (one convertible to massage/spa room)
  • Additional guest cabins, all en-suite with entertainment systems

Flybridge & Outdoor Living

Outdoor areas are designed for both privacy and entertainment:

  • Sundeck with spa pool and lounging areas
  • Covered dining for 8 guests
  • Multiple sunpad zones forward and aft
  • Easy flow between decks via both staircase and elevator access

The yacht’s layout supports both private owner use and high-end charter functionality.

Onboard Amenities & Features

  • Elevator servicing guest decks
  • Fully equipped gym with cardio & resistance equipment
  • Dedicated massage/spa space
  • Large selection of tenders and water toys
  • Hydraulic swim platform and boarding system
  • Entertainment systems throughout

Notably, the yacht also carries multiple tenders and watercraft including jet skis, fishing/diving tender, and towables—making it a true activity platform.

Performance & Capability

Powered by twin Caterpillar diesels, TRIUMPHANT LADY cruises comfortably at ~12 knots with a top speed around 14.5 knots, offering reliable long-range cruising capability for the Bahamas, Caribbean, and U.S. East Coast.

Broker Note

TRIUMPHANT LADY sits in a unique position in today’s market—offering the volume, guest experience, and pedigree of a much larger yacht at a fraction of the replacement cost.

For a buyer looking to step into:

  • Charter revenue potential
  • A high-capacity entertaining platform
  • Or a distinctive private yacht with real presence
