Her first owner was Ivar Lauritzen who enjoyed sailing her around the Swedish and Norwegian coasts and changed the yachts name to Jill. Her name was changed again when an American, George Riffe, bought her in 1972 and called her Boheme. She was then used as a charter boat where her deterioration was inevitable, and in 1999 her present owner, Mikael Krafft, bought her with the knowledge that she needed an enormous amount of restorative work. Her subsequent restoration was completed in 2003 in Villefranche Shipyard when she dramatically caught on fire and burnt to the waterline. The fire brigade confirmed that it was probably the zodiac outboard leaking fuel down into a compartment with flammable paints. Nobody was aboard and it was a sad day for all involved, but the owner started on the restoration again in Villefranche. Half way through the shipyard went bust and Doriana was completed in Sweden by 2005 where she attended the Royal Swedish Yacht Club's event in Sandhamn before sailing down to the Cote d'Azur to once again grace the Mediterranean shores.
