Fancy cars and exotic vacations are nice for the wealthy, but to truly live the lavish lifestyle, one must have the experience of chartering their own yacht to really feel special. But what are the options and how does one go about chartering their own yacht?
One such option is the lavish Grace E, which is currently available for the discerning person and is ready to hit the high seas. Designed by legendary naval architect Philippe Briand and built by the Italian shipyard Perini Navi, you too could enjoy the luxury that only a personal yacht can give.
This is the company’s largest yacht yet built measuring 240 feet in length with a displacement tonnage of 1,740. It has been designed to be rather efficient considering its size. The Grace E can cruise up to 15 knots per hour for approximately 7,500 nautical miles without the need to refuel.
The yacht was designed with a relaxed yet contemporary feel and uses light wood, leather and stainless steel to impart a sense of clean lines and no nonsense design function. The highlight of the vessel is the 1,000-square-foot owner’s suite on the main deck and beautifully uses onyx, ebony and yet more wood for a sense of luxury and comfort. There are six additional cabins on the lower and main decks which would allow one to invite up to 14 additional guests. You and your guests can enjoy a special saloon on the upper deck that is home to a personal sushi bar with surround televisions or enjoy a spa like experience in the beauty parlor that leads to a massage room with sauna. There of course is a hot tub to further enhance the pampered experience. The yacht’s spacious garage is well equipped with four personal watercraft, six kayaks, two paddle boards, two Seabobs, and diving equipment. Plenty of recreational equipment to keep one entertained.
What will all of this luxury cost? The Grace E is available for $640,000 per week and is currently cruising the Caribbean for the remainder of the winter. After the winter, it will be headed to Northern Europe where it will remain for the summer season.
