Amazing Grace II is a 50 foot sloop built by Beneteau in France to Bureau Veritas standards. The design is taken from from an original Bruce Farr design. Bruce Farr designs many racing sailboats and his designs are fast, especially off the wind.
If you are a sailor you will appreciate the fast and responsive sail plan and hull shape that combine to make fast passages with a sea kindly motion. AG II draws only 6 feet, so can anchor in fairly tight spots.
She is fast and fun to sail on inter-island passages and her twin wheel steering set up makes it easy for novices to take a turn at the wheel, as well as giving walk through access to the stern and dinghy area. Her well protected cockpit and isinglass screens mean you can sit outside in almost any weather without layering up with protective clothing while still getting protection from the tropical sun and enjoying the view.
A swim platform and ladder off the stern provides easy access for a swim after a day's sail, and a fresh water rinse outlet is right next to the swim platform.
There is plenty of space on deck to spread out a towel and sunbathe or sit up forward and watch an island slowly grow larger while the boat slices through the waves.
A master cabin forward provides a queen size pullman berth, settee and writing desk, with a separate shower and toilet, 2 wash basins and lots of ventilation from 4 hatches and 4 opening ports.
Midships there is a large 3 burner stove galley, fridge and freezer and a central island for prepping food. There is storage below for pots and pans and utensils.
Aft there are 2 more queen size berth cabins, one for the captain, each with their own toilet and shower. There are lights, reading lights and fans in each cabin and good ventilation from numerous hatches.

What a great adventure we had with Alex! He was wonderful with communicating and expectations. It was like being on a boat with a friend. Each morning we were welcomed with coffee and a delicious breakfast. Alex gave us opportunities to go explore on land and sea. We were blessed to stay with him for 5 nights and got to see all sorts of beaches, snorkel in some of the best spots, dine and explore St. Barths, rest and relax on the boat and do exactly what we wanted to do. We even went with him to take a Salsa Class on St. Martin! Alex is a blessing and not only did we come home well rested, but with a new friend. Thank you, Alex, for a great trip!
Best adventure with Alex on his beautiful boat. We were able to explore St. Martin, St. Barths and Anguilla in just four nights. Alex gave great recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants. He prepared wonderful breakfast and lunch on the boat. 100% recommend!!
Alex is a special, pleasant and careful captain.
We had a great trip with Alex. He took care of everything we needed and was always reliable. Alex is very easy to communicate with. He customized our trip and it is one we will never forget. Thanks again!
Amazing Grace II is a beautiful well maintained sailboat. The captain, Alex is a very easy going relaxed host that will make your stay or sail an enjoyable experience. The boat was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It’s doesn’t get much better than spending time on the Blue Waters of the Caribbean. I am looking forward to joining Alex and Amazing Grace II again.

This trip was made special by Alex with his scholarly knowledge of sailing and the islands we visited. He knew where to go, what to see, and how to best experience many beautiful and authentic locations in St. Martin, Anguilla, and St. Barths. The boat was clean, comfortable and well stocked for our stay - perfect for our family of four. Breakfast and lunch on board were a treat each day. We enjoyed a cup of fresh French press coffee and breakfast while overlooking lovely islands and their harbours and then headed onto land for sightseeing and beach time. Sailing was peaceful and restorative to the soul. It was a great experience, and Alex was a gracious host and an excellent captain. We will definitely be re-booking!
Our family of 4 (two children aged 2 and 4 plus mom and dad) had our very first sailing adventure with host extraordinare Captain Alex. We spend 5 nights aboard amazing grace 2 and thoroughly enjoyed out stay. All expectations were exceeded and we would recommend the sailing option to everyone. Alex is an experienced sailor and savvy cook too! We enjoyed our chats with Alex and are so thankful for all he did to make our stay truly enjoyable. Looking back I'm so glad we decided to bring our girls on board for such an awesome adventure. Kudos to Alex and thank you! We have memories to last a life time.
Alex, the owner, was an extremely exceptional host. The wife and I are clueless on the water but Alex is very nice and welcoming. In addition to having flexibility to decide where and what to do Alex is quite the tour guide. Very informed about the Caribbean, culture and local customs. This can be a great relaxing way to begin a vacation after a long flight. Highly recommended.
Alex was a great host, and the boat + sail option was the highlight of the trip. Waking up to coffee on the water was such a pleasure each morning. Would definitely recommend!
