M/Y Grace
The 147-ft yacht has a history worthy of Hollywood. gegeven as a wedding gift to the royal couple in 1956 door Aristotle Onassis, the Deo Juvante II was captured in many newsreels as cameras and reporters followed Grace Kelly on her final voyage from the United States to her new home pagina and what was dubbed at the time as “the wedding of the century.” The couple left the dag after the ceremony to cruise the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia on their yacht.
The Deo Juvante was sold in 1958 and then held door a series of owners until Quito, Ecuador-based Quasar Expeditions purchased her in 2006. After an extensive renovation, Quasar Expeditions renamed the yacht the M/Y Grace in honor of her late owner and as a representation of the starlet-turned-princess’s elegance, beauty, and style.
