M/Y GRACE 58.52m | Australian Yacht Builders | Full Aluminium | 499 GT

Built entirely in aluminium by Australian Yacht Builders, GRACE is a rare opportunity in today's market. Following an extensive refit and continuous investment by her owner, she combines the volume and capability of a much larger yacht while remaining below the strategic 500 GT threshold, offering significant operational and regulatory advantages.

Her contemporary open-plan layout creates an exceptional feeling of space across three expansive decks, giving guests the impression of being onboard a bigger yacht while benefiting from the efficiency of a sub-500 GT vessel.

Propulsion

GRACE is powered by twin MTU 12V4000 diesel engines producing a combined output of approximately 4,660 HP, coupled with Kamewa Waterjet propulsion, a highly unusual specification for a yacht of this size. This configuration provides:
