“The level of service, detail, warmth and adventure on the Grace Yacht was unmatched. Every crew member made sure you were taken care of, going above and beond. There was activities for every energy level, so much knowledge about the wild life and I felt like it was the most efficient way to see it ALL in the Galapagos. You will never regret this trip of a lifetime!”

“Our cruise on the Grace was in late April, 8 days, Tuesday to Tuesday. My wife and I were traveling with 3 other couple who are all close friends. Our group had 4 of the 8 guest cabins. All of us were traveling to Galapagos for the first time. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The ship, the staff & naturalists, the meals, the hikes, zodiac tours & snorkeling, all exceptional. The intimacy with the wildlife was unimaginable. Possibly the biggest plus of all was what we learned as the week went on and that is being on a small ship like the Grace is the only way to group so many activities and adventures into a relatively short amount of time. This was a big and special trip for us and we wanted it to be great and it was.”

Thank you so much, Wallace, and a special thanks for sharing those amazing photos! There's something magical about experiencing the Galápagos for the first time alongside your closest friends, and we love that the Quasar Grace was the setting for such a milestone trip. You've hit on something we hold dear: the small-ship difference isn't just about comfort, it's about packing in more wonder per day than any larger vessel ever could. We hope the four couples are already plotting the next Safari-Style adventure together — we'd love to be part of it! Warm regards, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero

“The Grace Yacht was impressive!! I cannot say enough about the crew’s attention to safety, their caring for all passengers on board, and the entire promotion by Quasar to make Grace a, “Once in a Lifetime” experience!! Each day was an adventure, sometimes beginning at 6:20 in the morning. However, after early trekking, we were rewarded with amazing breakfasts! From there we were regularly surprised with encounters of both land and sea animals, diverse landscapes, and spectacular sunsets….not to forget more creative and delicious lunches and dinners! On a personal note, one of my family members had a recent knee replacement. Grace sent a staff member on a particularly rocky lava hike to make certain she had an extra arm to lean on. This type of caring was to be commended!!! Thank you, Quasar, and Grace, for a wonderfully unique adventure.”

Winifred, thank you for sharing this so beautifully! Early mornings, lava hikes, spectacular sunsets, and everything in between; you've captured the spirit of an adventure aboard Quasar Grace perfectly! Those extra details from our crew are the kind of details that don't make it into the brochure but define who we truly are at Quasar. No Guest is ever just a face on the Quasar Grace. You are Guests in our home, and your wellbeing is always our first adventure of the day. We hope the Galapagos stays with you and your family for a very long time to come. Warmly, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero

“Sailing the Grace Galapagos Yacht offers an intimate cruise with a superb staff. Limited to 16 guests this yacht exudes refined elegance. Often I would remark What would Grace do? Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier honeymooned on this yacht. Days begin early -Arianna’s soothing wake up calls eased the 6 to 7am beginning to our day. Expeditions optimized wildlife viewing while bypassing the big ship groups. With one naturalist guide for every 8 passengers our guides Walter and Gabby provided us with wildlife and historical details of the islands. Along with Ignacio and David our panga drivers, they adeptly led us to island landings, viewing penguins, sea lions, turtles and snorkeling sites. Returning to our yacht we were welcomed by Arianna, Melanie and the operations crew of Capt. Javier . Cuisine is superb with fresh ingredients! Jayro our bar tender/waiter’s dry sense of humor(sealife bacon -not ha!) complements his superb service. I cherish the ceviche recipe chefs Marcos and Alejandro shared with me. Every crew member of the Grace contributed to providing an outstanding duty of care for their guests. The itinerary is action packed intentionally so that guests can experience all there is to see while in the Galapagos Islands!”

Dear Denise, Your words capture exactly what we hope the Quasar Grace can offer: an intimate Galapagos safari where each day is full of discovery, and every Guest feels genuinely cared for. Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos, too. We loved reading how the yacht’s history, the early starts for wildlife viewing, Walter and Gaby’s expert guiding, the panga outings, and the care from Arianna, Melanie, Captain Javier, and the whole Crew made the islands feel so personal and alive. We’re also so glad you enjoyed the dining experience onboard, and I hope Marcos and Alejandro’s ceviche recipe brings a little taste of Ecuador back to your kitchen. Warm regards, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero

“Our journey through the Galapagos islands was, without question, the most extraordinary trip my husband and I have ever taken. From the moment we stepped aboard the historic Grace ship - intimate, elegant and limited to just 16 guests - we knew this experience would be something special. What we didn't anticipate was just how deeply it would stay with us. Every day felt like stepping into a nature documentary, only better becausee it was real and we were a part of it! What elevated the experience even further were our exceptional naturalists, Walter and Lola. Their passion, knowledge and storytelling brought each island to life in a way the made every snorkel and hike feel meaningful. They didn't just point things out- they helped us understand the delicate ecosystems, the evolutionary marvels and the importance of preserving this remarkable place. If there is such a thing as a perfect trip, this was it!”

Dear Kim, Your journey sounds like a true Quasar safari, filled with rare, unscripted moments that stay with you long after returning home. Aboard Quasar Grace, with just a small circle of fellow explorers, the Galapagos can feel wonderfully personal, unhurried, and almost entirely your own. Walter and Lola brought each island to life in the best way, turning every sighting into a story of connection, wonder, and understanding. Knowing journeys like yours help protect these fragile ecosystems makes it all the more meaningful. Regards, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero

“This was a once in a lifetime bucket list trip dream come true. I never expected to see so many different kinds of animals as we did we didn't even have to look for them. They were just there everywhere we went. Our guides gave us a true MasterClass in all things Galapagos!”
