Facilities and Accommodation
The unique configuration of this Camper & Nicholson motor yacht makes for a swift, stable vessel that provides both spaciousness and supreme comfort. She is the ideal sized vessel, attractive to the adventure traveler, sea-kayaker and natural-history passenger alike.
The Grace is outfitted with a stabilizer system making for the smoothest running in the calm Gal�pagos seas. The main salon is truly spacious, equipped with luxurious sofas and chairs, a bar and entertainment center.
Passengers gather here for briefings by our guides, to watch films, enjoy a drink at the bar or just relax. All meals can be served inside or outside (al fresco).
She has nine very comfortable and luxurious cabins with plenty of storage. The front sun deck offers a hot tub and plenty of space to sunbathe, read a book, take pictures, or just enjoy the journey to the next island.
