A 47.9-metre Trinity, built 2004, taken back to substrate across paint, systems, joinery and exterior living areas — and handed back in nine months, to the day agreed at contract.

Four trades, one winter, one fixed date.
Mirabella arrived in Tuzla in mid-September 2025 and was hauled out in early October. Paint, electrical and electronic systems, interior joinery and structural work on the transom all ran inside the same winter — against a redelivery date of 15 July 2026 fixed at contract signature and held to.
Rob Dolling of Verpeka Dolling Superyachts acted throughout as Owner's Representative and Owner's Technical Manager, carrying responsibility for quality, technical integrity and the date. R15 is the fifteenth major refit the yard has taken on since 2017, and among the widest in scope.

Decks stripped back and covered while she lay in the floating dock, against the same decks finished: new teak, the sundeck Jacuzzi, awnings and tenders back aboard.
New railings, new entrance glass, an engraved family crest and a redrawn name and logo were produced and fitted in-house, so the details match the new finish rather than survive it.

INTERIOR
TV-lift and ceiling integration
A TV-lift fitted with the structural work it demanded, ceiling panels reworked around the mechanism, and the whole assembly folded into the yacht's automation.
CEILINGS
Ceilings, entirely renewed
Every ceiling panel replaced and redesigned around teak frames with stainless finishes, and the old Velcro fixings retired for a fast-mount system that comes down cleanly for service.
ACCESS
New automatic sliding door
The manual one-metre door gave way to a 3.5-metre automatic opening — structural and interior work carried together, so the saloon now reads as one room with the aft deck.
FURNITURE
Sibennesse, built to the deck
Sibennesse pieces custom-designed and built in Germany, then set into the new deck layout so the furniture and the design philosophy arrive as one decision rather than two.
GLASS
New glass manufactured and incorporated
New glass drawn and manufactured specifically for this deck, shielding the aft seating from the breeze without closing the view down.
SURFACES
Marble, bordered in teak
New marble custom-designed and set within teak borders, and a new sink dropped in so its teak cover closes flush with the counter — no lip, no seam to catch.
AFT SEATING
A seating group, redesigned and rebuilt
The aft seating group drawn again and built new — a marble surface set into it, a planter closing the back, and every cushion reupholstered to the new scheme.
LIGHTING & POWER
New lighting system
A new automated LED lighting system throughout, and the whole yacht converted from American to European voltage — the change you never see, felt in every switch.
TEAK
New deck, laid to 15 mm
The teak lifted and replaced in full, laid at 15 mm to match the decking thickness carried elsewhere onboard — one plane, one standard, throughout.
ENTRY
A door with the family crest
A new stainless steel door, custom made with laminated glass and the family crest engraved into it — the last thing built and the first thing anyone touches.

THE WORK, IN DETAILFOUR DISCIPLINES, ONE WINTER
01
Paint & structure
HULL · SUPERSTRUCTURE · TRANSOM
Hull and superstructure were stripped and fully repainted in climate-controlled conditions — the change that resets how a 2004 aluminium hull reads on the water. In the same programme the transom area was structurally revised to take an integrated transformer at the swim platform, with a dedicated watertight chamber built to house it.

02
Systems & light
ELECTRICAL · ELECTRONICS · MECHANICAL
The electrical and electronic infrastructure was substantially renewed — audio-visual systems, bridge electronics, and a complete rethink of interior lighting alongside significantly enhanced exterior deck lighting. Mechanical work ran in parallel: stabiliser overhaul, main engine maintenance and replacement of the generator exhaust outlet scoop.

Joinery & interior
VENEER · UPHOLSTERY · MARBLE
Twenty-two years of sun, salt and humidity had dulled the varnished joinery to a cloudy haze. The affected veneers were taken back to bare wood, sanded, and re-finished in a new walnut — chocolate tone under controlled conditions: a deliberately labour-intensive route chosen to preserve the character of Scott Carpenter's original interior rather than mask it.

Deck & exterior living
SUNDECK · SEATING · TEAK
The most visible changes are on deck. A bespoke Jacuzzi was installed on a redesigned sundeck, new exterior seating areas were created across all decks, and exterior marble was replaced with a teak border. Teak renewals ran across the yacht, so the surfaces underfoot match the standard of the repaint above them.

“You can judge a yard by what it takes on in one winter. R15 asked for paint, systems, joinery and structural work at once, to a date we had committed to, and our people carried all four across the line together. Mirabella left Tuzla genuinely transformed — that is why Reviva exists.”
RAMAZAN MENGIREFIT OPERATIONS, REVIVA / MENGI YAY
“The scope on Mirabella touched almost every technical discipline onboard simultaneously. Mengi Yay's direct access to specialised trade resources — from marine electrical and mechanical teams to interior joiners — allowed us to address a wide range of complex works within a single winter period.”
