About Motor
Yacht Grace

M/Y Grace's stellar past includes ownership by millionaire tycoons like Sir
George Tilley and Aristotle Onassis, a brief stint in the British navy and the
vacation home of guests recognized worldwide, including Winston Churchill.
This yacht has traversed the waters of this world under many names, but we have
rechristened her with a name that takes her back into her history; to the very
best of her times. Named after her late owner, Her Serene Highness Princess
Grace of Monaco, the name is a representation of her elegance, beauty and
prestige. Grace is the ideal yacht for the the traveler who seeks a true
explorer experience, complemented with excellent service, superb accommodations
and excellent dining. With one naturalist guide for every 9 guests on a full
ship, all who travel onboard this yacht will be part of a mission to bring to
life the natural living legacy of the islands
Accomodations
M/Y Grace offers 9 spacious staterooms of
up to 19 square meters (209 square feet) to accommodate 16 guests. All
staterooms feature private bathrooms, individual climate controls, safe boxes,
telephones and plenty of storage space for clothing and luggage. Five cabins
have twin beds (A2, A3, C3, C4 and C5) and the other 4 cabins (A1, A4, C1 and

and ample space to store toiletries.
Guides
