Executive Overview
The luxury yachting landscape of the Mediterranean has officially welcomed back one of its most distinctive vessels. Motor yacht 2 Ladies—a 46.35-metre custom-built superyacht crafted by renowned Italian shipyard Rossinavi—has triumphantly returned to cruising waters following a comprehensive, high-profile refit. Emerging from an extensive shipyard period at Adria Docks in Trogir, Croatia, under the expert management of Croatian engineering and refit specialist Capax, the vessel has been meticulously rejuvenated, modernised, and prepared for the elite charter market ahead of the 2026 season.
Originally delivered to her owners in 2012, 2 Ladies has long commanded attention not merely for her striking exterior lines and formidable naval architecture, but for an exceptionally rare design brief. Conceived by two friends and business partners who wished to share ownership equally without the traditional hierarchy of a single primary master suite, the yacht was engineered with dual, identical full-beam master cabins. This egalitarian approach to luxury set a precedent in custom yacht design, ensuring that both owners and their respective partners could travel in absolute, uncompromised comfort.
Following more than a decade of private usage, the vessel’s custodians entrusted Capax with a multi-faceted refit programme designed to safeguard her mechanical reliability, elevate her aesthetic standards, and integrate cutting-edge modern technology—all while fiercely preserving the unique character and emotional resonance that inspired her construction. Today, operating under management companies such as Ocean Independence, 2 Ladies stands as a masterclass in how a modern superyacht refit can successfully bridge the gap between historic pedigree and contemporary luxury.
Detailed Chronology: The Journey to Modernisation
The journey that brought 2 Ladies back to the peak of Mediterranean charter readiness was neither short nor simple. It required a finely tuned orchestration of naval architecture, engineering precision, and artisan craftsmanship.
Phase One: Arrival and Comprehensive Assessment in Trogir
The refit project officially commenced when the 46.35-metre vessel arrived at the Adria Docks facility in Trogir, Croatia. Capax, renowned for its complex engineering feats and structural overhauls, took the helm as the primary project manager. Before a single wrench was turned, the technical team initiated a rigorous evaluation of the yacht’s structural health and mechanical systems.
Given that 2 Ladies had accumulated over a decade of cruising miles since her 2012 launch, the refit needed to address both visible wear and tear and unseen infrastructural fatigue. Capax utilised advanced 3D scanning technology during structural steelwork repairs. This high-precision approach allowed engineers to map deformations, assess stress points, and execute surgical steel replacements with millimetric accuracy, guaranteeing the long-term structural integrity of the Rossinavi hull.
Phase Two: Mechanical Overhaul and Exterior Renewal
With the structural assessment complete, the shipyard entered a heavy-duty phase of mechanical and aesthetic transformation. Among the most critical technical upgrades was the complete installation of brand-new generators, ensuring that the yacht’s hotel load, stabilisers, and navigation systems operate with maximum efficiency, zero redundancy, and reduced acoustic emissions while at anchor or underway.
Concurrently, the yacht’s exterior surfaces underwent a massive transformation. Every inch of the teak decking across all exterior decks was entirely stripped and replaced with sustainably sourced, high-grade timber, restoring the warm, tactile elegance of the outdoor living spaces. Furthermore, the vessel underwent a full-scale repaint of both her steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Overseen by coating specialists Wrede Consulting, the fresh paint application required climate-controlled tenting and meticulous surface preparation to achieve the mirror-like, flawless finish that defines top-tier superyachts today.
Phase Three: Aesthetic Reimagining of the Sundeck
While the engineering teams focused on the vessel’s anatomy, original designers Mulder Design were brought back to breathe new life into the upper deck entertainment spaces. The mandate was clear: inject a contemporary design language into the outdoor social zones without disrupting the timeless Italian aesthetic established by Studio Arch. Tommaso Spadolini in the interior salons.
Mulder Design completely reimagined the sundeck lounge and bar area. The newly minted social hub now incorporates cutting-edge architectural materials, most notably Corian Arctic Ice for sleek, durable bar countertops, complemented by marine-grade stainless steel accents and rich teak furnishings. The result is a luminous, highly functional open-air sanctuary designed for sun-soaked days and sophisticated cocktail evenings under the Mediterranean stars.
Supporting Context & Metrics: Architecture, Design, and Engineering
To truly appreciate the magnitude of the 2 Ladies refit, one must examine the baseline specifications that make this Rossinavi creation a formidable engineering achievement.
The Genesis of the Dual-Master Concept
In the traditional superyacht paradigm, spatial hierarchy dictates that the owner’s suite occupies the prime real estate of the main deck forward, offering panoramic views and sprawling square footage, while remaining guest cabins are relegated to the lower deck. 2 Ladies shattered this convention.
The owners—two close associates in both life and business—commissioned Mulder Design and Studio Arch. Tommaso Spadolini to draft a layout that afforded absolute parity. Consequently, the yacht features two equal master suites, a radical layout choice that ensures zero compromise when the co-owners cruise together. This thoughtful layout is complemented by four additional guest staterooms, allowing the yacht to comfortably host a total of 12 guests serviced by an attentive professional crew.

Official Statements and Industry Collaboration
The success of such a massive undertaking as the 2 Ladies refit is a testament to cross-industry synergy. Bringing together elite engineers, coating specialists, classification societies, and management firms required high-level communication and shared vision.
Teo Petricevic, CEO of Capax, reflected on the emotional and technical dimensions of the project during its completion:
"Revitalising a motor yacht of this calibre is always a technically demanding undertaking, but 2 Ladies presented a unique emotional layer. The owners have maintained an extraordinarily strong, personal connection with this vessel since the day she was commissioned at Rossinavi. Our objective at Adria Docks was not merely to service machinery or upgrade aesthetics, but to honor the original design DNA while equipping the yacht with the quiet, dependable performance demanded by modern standards. Thanks to our close collaboration with Mulder Design, Ocean Independence, and Wrede Consulting, we have delivered a vessel that feels brand new while retaining her cherished soul."
The collaborative framework of the project also involved rigorous oversight from Lloyd’s Register, ensuring that all structural modifications, new generator installations, and steel renewals met the most stringent international safety and maritime classification standards. Meanwhile, yacht management giant Ocean Independence coordinated the logistical pathways, ensuring that the transition from shipyard bays to the high-end charter market was executed with absolute seamlessness.
