In 1988 "Rosenkavalier" was sold to the three brothers Hiroshi, Takashi and Yasushi Isaka, owners of a property development company in Yokohama, Japan. She received a major refit in Thailand during 1991 and was sold the following year to Greek-Cypriot, Andreas Liveras, already established in the yacht charter business. A Swiss-based businessman bought the yacht in 1999, renamed her "Haida G", and set about another major restoration in France and Turkey, including a complete refit of the original Krupp diesel engines.
