Authentic Experiences, Lifetime Memories
This one’s for your history-loving clients! To mark the anniversary of Grace Kelly’s marriage to Prince Rainier, we’re shining a light on the yacht that carried them into their royal honeymoon—and into legend as one of the Galapagos’ most luxurious adventure yachts.
Did you know?:
• Before their wedding Princess Rainier and his bride to be, Grace Kelly, made their triumphant entrance into Monaco Harbor aboard the yacht.
• The yacht was a wedding gift from Aristotle Onasis to Princess Grace and Prince Rainier for their marriage in 1956, revered as “the wedding of the century.”
• The couple spent seven sunlit weeks cruising the Mediterranean, pausing along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia.
• Winston Churchill was a guest of the royal couple aboard the yacht.
• Over the years, the yacht lived many lives and sailed under many names. When Quasar acquired her in 2007, it restored her and named her Grace, honoring her most iconic passenger and a storybook love that still captures imaginations.
Today, the Grace yacht sails far from the French Riviera. She now carries modern adventurers through the Galapagos Islands—thoughtfully updated for sustainability and comfort, yet still full of timeless charm.
Straight Out of a Fairytale
From her important role in World War II, her stint as a royal yacht, and beyond, the Grace has stories etched into her planks. Can you imagine all this boat has seen between her christening and her modern-day Galapagos voyages?
