Launched in 2013 as custom commission and following closely in the footsteps of luxury superyacht tender ‘GRACE E’ built for the 73m Perini Navi ‘VITRUVIUS’, GRACE’s hull lines were drawn by renowned UK-based naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme with her custom build by Cockwells in Mylor Bridge, Cornwall; a yard renowned for their construction of the Hardy range of all-weathers motor yachts as well as their hugely popular Duchy range of classically styled luxury motor launches.
While naturally suited to a pampered life as a superyacht tender, GRACE was originally configured to be a hugely capable family ‘Day Launch’, with ample seating for 10-14 persons in her spacious and practical cockpit, with a fully equipped wet-bar and large dedicated heads compartment below decks. Powered by fuel-efficient and reliable twin Yanmar 250hp diesel engines, her slippery Wolstenholme lines can be propelled to speeds approaching 40 knots, while those same lines offer forgiving and surefooted seakeeping.

• CE Category-C
• Andrew Wolstenholme design

With just two owners since new, GRACE was acquired by her current owners in 2020. Based in and around West Country for most of her life, and then more recently in the Solent, GRACE has led a very pampered life, always stored undercover and ashore when unused and with very low hours run on her engines. Her gleaming Flagblue Awlgrip topsides hide her hardy and stiff foam core GRP construction, while her timeless varnished mahogany decks are well protected by regularly refinished varnish. GRACE is 100% ‘ready to go’, whether it be a sheltered life living at the end of a private dock in the West Country, cruising around the waters of the French Riviera or Amalfi Coast, carving through the Solent for a fun day out with the family, or following in the footsteps of her older sister as a superyacht tender. GRACE has also been known to find her way onto the silver screen with a recent appearance in the 2024 movie Back in Action in the hands of Hollywood icon Cameron Diaz.
