A fixture of elegance on Lake of the Woods for the past eight decades


Gliding across mystic Lake of the Woods, the 85-foot yacht Grace Anne II emerges from the past with her classic beauty and elegance intact. Gleaming mahogany decks and staterooms. Persian carpets and leaded glass. The Grace Anne II will transport you to another era when silverware, fine linens, and white-gloved service were the unquestioned accoutrements on a wilderness excursion.

Welcome aboard and prepare to be enchanted.
