Quasar Grace Yacht

An Intimate Galapagos Yacht with a Remarkable History

With just 16 guests aboard, Quasar Grace offers an exceptionally intimate way to explore the Galapagos Islands. Originally built by Camper & Nicholsons and later gifted to Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco for their honeymoon, the yacht combines a remarkable maritime history with a thoroughly modern expedition experience.

Following an extensive refurbishment, Grace now pairs elegant interiors with expert naturalist guiding and highly personalised service. Her small size allows guests to explore the islands in groups of no more than eight, creating more time with guides and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere both ashore and onboard. Days are spent walking volcanic trails, snorkelling with marine life, kayaking along remote coastlines and searching for the extraordinary wildlife that makes the Galapagos unique.
