Grace II

A single owner has looked after Grace II since Monte Carlo delivered her in 2020, and by the seller's account she has never been chartered. A yacht with one owner from new tends to arrive at survey with a cleaner history. She is the Monte Carlo MCY 66, a flybridge motor yacht built for exactly this kind of quiet ownership.

Build and provenance

Monte Carlo built the MCY 66 as a composite yacht, her hull laid up in fibreglass with Kevlar and carbon fibre reinforcement to keep weight down without giving up strength. At 20 metres, 66 feet, she carries a 5.2-metre beam and a 1.2-metre draught. The interior is by Nuvolari Lenard, whose open layouts favour light and flow over enclosed rooms, and it shows in how the salon and cockpit read as one continuous space.

Layout and accommodation

Six guests sleep across three cabins, a full-beam suite forward among them, each finished in Italian leathers and natural stone with a copper accent running through the joinery. A crew of two keeps the boat, small enough that they work around the owner's day rather than the other way round. The galley sits aft of the salon in an open arrangement, so cooking stays part of the gathering rather than shut away below.

Performance and engineering

Grace II cruises at 24 knots and reaches 30 flat out, planing speeds rather than a slow displacement pace. A gyro stabiliser and bow and stern thrusters make her easy to handle short-handed, at sea and alongside. She carries 925 gallons of fuel, 3,497 litres, and 198 gallons of fresh water, 749 litres.

On deck and at anchor

The stern folds down hydraulically into a swim platform at the waterline, and fold-down terraces open the sides of the boat out over the water at anchor. A spa pool sits on the sun deck above, so the choice at anchor is between the sea and a tub several steps closer to the sky.

Where she lies and how to see her

Boatcrowd represents Grace II to buyers and arranges every viewing in person, standing in for you at the boat rather than simply passing on a set of keys. Accept an offer and the survey and sea trial come next, with Boatcrowd carrying the paperwork through to handover.
