Launched in 2004 and designed in the style of the early passenger vessels, the 48 metre (158') GRACE is a definitely a "gentleman's yacht". However, there is nothing old-fashioned about this vessel! Her classic exterior lines and traditional detailing are skilfully combined with all the modern systems required for safe, comfortable and efficient operation.
GRACE was built as a commercial vessel under Dutch flag and is classed for unlimited worldwide navigation. She is equipped for pollution free cruising and has a strengthened hull, propellers and rudders that allow her operation through ice of up to 40cm. She is also capable of silent mooring and anchoring, allowing for peaceful cruising in remote, idyllic locations.
Based year-round in Stavanger, Norway, her styling is in perfect accord with the culture and architecture of the small fishing ports and islands of this stunning coastline. With a working fireplace in the library, an enclosed aft deck and an efficient central heating system, she is well-equipped for cruising in the colder months, when one might hope to glimpse the famous aurora borealis (Northern Lights). In the summer, her open upper decks and powerful air-conditioning system offer the chance to experience the equally famous midnight sun in comfort and style.
