MARY’S GRACE makes a persuasive case for the power catamaran. At 16.46 metres she is compact on paper, yet her twin-hull form gives her the interior volume, the deck space and the steadiness of a far larger monohull, and she charters at a price that opens the Greek islands to guests who thought a private yacht was out of reach. Delivered in 2026 by Aquila, she sleeps eight across four cabins with a crew of three, built for families and friends who want space without extravagance.
Stability is her quiet superpower. A catamaran sits level at anchor and tracks flat under way, which means less movement, less fuss and far less of the queasiness that can shadow a first charter. For guests new to the water, or for families with children, that steadiness changes everything. It turns the whole yacht into usable space, from the flybridge to the swim platform, in conditions that would send a monohull’s guests below.
The deck layout is generous for her length. A flybridge runs almost the full beam, set up for dining in the open air and lounging under the sun, with the helm close enough to keep the captain part of the day. The aft deck carries the water toys and opens onto a broad swim platform, the launch point for everything from paddleboards to an afternoon in the sea. Shade and sun are always both within reach.
Inside, the main deck is bright and open, a single level that flows from a comfortable salon to a dining area to a well-equipped galley, all wrapped in large windows that pull the sea inside. The styling is clean and contemporary, warm wood underfoot and soft blues picking up the colour of the water. It is a social space, designed for a group that wants to be together without being on top of one another.
Accommodation spreads across the two hulls, which is where the catamaran form earns its keep again. The master suite takes real width and light, with its own bathroom, while the guest cabins are bright, distinct and genuinely private, each tucked into a hull with its own view of the waterline. Four cabins for eight guests means couples and families travel in comfort, not compromise.
Her natural ground is Greece. MARY’S GRACE is built for the Cyclades and the Ionian, for Paros and Rhodes and the long list of islands that reward a yacht with a shallow draft and an easy pace. A power catamaran slips into anchorages that deeper yachts must admire from outside, and her economy means more time exploring and less time thinking about the cost of it.
What makes her matter is her accessibility. MARY’S GRACE delivers the space, the stability and the island reach that define a good charter, at a price that keeps the experience within reach. She is proof that a private yacht week in Greece need not be a once-in-a-lifetime indulgence, and that the smart money in the charter market increasingly points toward the catamaran. Few yachts of her size and price offer this combination of volume, calm and reach, and fewer still do it with the easy, family-friendly manners that make a week aboard feel effortless from the first morning.
