“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!”

“Experiencing the beauty and uniqueness of Galapagos aboard the Grace was truly one of life's great experiences. The cabin and food were beyond our expectations and the whole experience would not have been as good if not for the remarkable staff. They were authentic in wanting to ensure we were having the best experience possible. The naturalist guides were the best and truly make your adventure memorable.”

Dear Marlene, Thank you for sharing such a great review on your time aboard the Quasar Grace. We love hearing that your Suite, dining experience, and time exploring the islands felt so exceptional, and our culinary team takes great pride in showcasing Ecuador’s flavors through thoughtfully prepared, locally sourced cuisine . What truly makes a safari-style adventure unforgettable, though, is the passion of our crew and Naturalist Guides, whose authenticity and deep knowledge bring each wildlife encounter to life . We are so grateful you journeyed with us and helped support our long-term commitment to protecting the Galapagos for generations to come. Warmly, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero
