Description
TRIUMPHANT LADY | 155â Sterling Motor YachtProject Yacht Opportunity | Solid Bones | Running Machinery
Broker Overview
TRIUMPHANT LADY is a 155â 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 levelâwhether 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 yachtâitâs a value-driven entry into the 150â+ class with real upside.

- 155â 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

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 8â10 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 yachtâs 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 towablesâmaking 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 todayâs marketâoffering 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
