GRACE

The newest yacht to arrive in the Galapagos may also have the best history.  Built by the renown Camper & Nicholson who are noted for producing and managing yachts for the world's richest people.  The M/Y Grace story is part of their grand legacy.  The Grace was a wedding gift from Aristotle Onassis to Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco.  It was aboard this very vessel that Princess Grace and Prince Rainer took their honeymoon cruise through the Mediterranean.  She has been owned by Sir George Tilley and was part of the British Royal Navy during WWII.

Grace was purchased and relocated to Ecuador in 2006, where she received a complete 3-year top to bottom renovation.  In Spring 2009, the Grace began cruising the waters of the Galapagos and is the finest yacht in the Galapagos today. Measuring 146 feet in length it is luxuriously comfortable for a select 16-passengers per week. With four suites and five staterooms measuring up to 200 square feet (19m2) an almost 1:1 passenger to staff ratio, the Grace is quickly becoming the most popular option in the islands for private charters.
