Representing the third luxury vessel of the Vitruvius® series sold by Perini Navi Group, the all-new 73m Picchiotti motor yacht Grace E has achieved excellent results in all of the tests scheduled for her sea trials: range, maximum speed, fuel and power consumption, as well as Dynamic Positioning system. The quietness and lack of vibration have especially pleased the Grace E yacht’s technicians.

Superyacht Grace E has a different diesel-electric propulsion system compared to her predecessors superyacht Exuma and luxury yacht Galileo G, an advanced system that runs on two Azipods, electronically activated propellers mounted on a guidable support.

Yacht captain Eddie Cooney commented: “Recent sea trials have confirmed that the use of electrical Azipods for the propulsion of Grace E has made for exceptional quietness and comfort while navigating. This result is due to the fact that the yacht does not have traditional shafts but a system that does not create propeller noise. There is little evidence that the boat is underway unless you are looking out the windows and actually witnessing the changing landscape. We expect that this will be a very much appreciated asset to guests cruising aboard.”
