Hurricane Beryl: Storm Preparation
When Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Carriacou as a powerful Category 4 storm, it rapidly intensified into a record-breaking system — forming quickly and reaching unprecedented strength so early in the hurricane season. At the time, August Maverick was hauled out for the off-season and securely stored at a reputable marina on the island’s west side. She was prepared using hurricane ties and set deep in a dug-out keel pit to provide maximum stability and protection.
Impact of the Storm
These preparations proved critical. While extreme winds caused her to rock briefly as the eye of the storm passed, her significant weight and tonnage kept her firmly in place, preventing her from being carried away. Most of the damage she sustained resulted from other vessels breaking loose and storm-driven debris rather than failure of her own systems.
Exterior Damage Assessment
The most significant exterior damage is localized to the starboard quarter, where debris caused a hull impact. Additional repairs are needed to replace damaged topside hardware, lifelines, and one shroud. A professional shipyard and rigging team have inspected August Maverick on site and confirmed that her structure remains sound. All identified repairs are well defined.
Interior Damage Assessment
On the interior, the primary damage is water-related. Flying debris during the storm compromised the pilothouse Strataglass enclosure and several deck hardware fittings, allowing water to enter through these openings. While most of the water drained through opened through-hulls and drainage ports, some accumulated below deck. This water damage is primarily confined to the area beneath the pilothouse, affecting the two twin guest cabins and their ensuite heads. The aft master stateroom, main saloon, and forward sections remain largely unaffected.
Immediate Repairs and Next Steps
A certified welder based on Carriacou has already inspected the hull damage and is prepared to complete critical repairs on site. This work will return August Maverick to seaworthy condition without the need for hauling or transport. Once these initial repairs are completed, she can be safely moved under her own power or relocated to a full-service shipyard for the remainder of the refit.
Restoration Costs and Options
We have obtained two detailed estimates for restoring August Maverick to her previous luxury charter-ready condition: one at approximately $500,000 and another at $700,000. To be clear, these figures represent a full, top-tier refit to return her to charter standards. Depending on the buyer’s intended use and desired level of fit and finish, the cost could vary significantly. A safe, seaworthy restoration suitable for private cruising could be achieved for a fraction of this amount, while a higher-end, bespoke refit could exceed it.
If desired, we can be engaged to oversee and manage the refit on your behalf — ensuring the work is done to the highest standards, on schedule, and with full transparency throughout the process.
Commercial Potential
This flexibility offers a cost-effective and efficient path to return August Maverick to service — especially when compared to the far greater expense of building or purchasing a comparable vessel new. With her ABS tonnage measurement over 100 GRT and U.S. commercial endorsement allowing her to carry up to 12 passengers without requiring a Certificate of Inspection, August Maverick represents a rare commercial opportunity.
Legacy and Pedigree
Once her refit is complete, she will be positioned to operate as a premier charter yacht with a prestigious pedigree and a fully documented repair history.
And yes — that’s August Maverick on the cover of Yachting Magazine, 1979, described as “an ultimate yacht.”
