“Quasar's MY Grace is quite simply the classiest boat around the Galapagos, nearly 100 years old with an encyclopaedia of famous owners and guests long after Onassis and Grace Kelly. The crew change frequently but our two weeks under Capitan Israel and Ariane were excellent. The crew on a nearly 1:1 ratio to passengers were exemplary and made the whole trip special every day. The accommodation whilst compact was good for a small 137 foot long yacht and the food generated by the two chefs was superb. The activities and enthusiasm of the naturalists were particularly noteworthy, never a dull moment from dawn to dusk, unless you needed a rest, but at the risk of missing something! Grace may not be the biggest or newest boat but whatever it lacks in size and modernity was surpassed by the unique elegance and sophistication she exudes.”

“Amazing trip all around. The Grace is beautiful and the crew were all wonderful! The food was great and the drinks plentiful. The Bartender Reynan was so helpful and friendly as were all others. Cannot say enough about the Naturalists. Monica and Cornelia were so knowlegeable and helpful. Anything you wanted or needed, they were ready, willing and able to help!”

“Cannot think of a better way to visit the Galapagos Islands. The yacht is fabulous, so are the staff and guides. Only 16 guests. Everything was perfect!”

“We chose to travel on The Grace simply because of her history and her size. Being aboard such an historic vessel made the journey that much more romantic, and we were blessed to have shared the Galapagos experience with like-minded people. As mentioned, the food was excellent and we tip our hats to the skills of both the main chef and pastry chef. There was nothing our bartender couldn't create, and the Captain's humour made the entire crew and passengers feel like family. Our cabin was always spotless (which I'm sure was not easy to maintain) and the entire vessel was both elegant and welcoming. Although part of me would like to return and experience the second navigated route, it is unlikely we would risk trying to recreate what we just experienced. Thank-you.”

“In celebration of my daughter's PhD completion we traveled with Quasar on the Grace. We cannot speak highly enough of our guides Cornelia and Monica who were bursting with enthusiasm to share their deep knowledge of the island wildlife, geology, and history. They found the best places for wildlife viewing and adapted our time to make sure we could all see everything. We did everything that was offered and it was a full week of adventure and discovery , (though you could certainly skip something if you wanted to). The guides gave excellent lectures on the smart screen whiteboard in the common room at our request. Something extra we truly appreciated. The Grace yacht was small enough to get to know all of our very compatible mates and we truly enjoyed our mealtimes with our new friends. The food was gourmet, varied and plentiful with wonderful local dishes and fresh produce and seafood as well as fine bakery from the pastry chef. The high quality full wetsuits were wonderful for the cold waters and the snorkeling was outstanding at multiple sites over our 8 days. There were kayaks for all of us. We were in a cabin on C deck and had enough room for two of us, for a yacht, good a/c, and plentiful hot water. We love that we had no keys to keep track of and the staff from the Captain, cruise director, bartender and room stewards were constantly and efficiently working. Everything was clean, on schedule and super organized. The boat traveled at night several times, but we slept well, just heard noises from the anchor which was next to our cabin. To my knowledge no one was seasick! We were off the grid, so to speak, and we skipped the internet for our busy week away, a wonderful trip of a lifetime.”
