Galapagos Tailor-Made Cruises
Welcome to your home in the Galápagos aboard
one of our friendly adventure vessels! The names in our fleet
are recognized worldwide for their luxury, comfort and seaworthiness.
Each is equipped with cutting-edge navigation and safety equipment,
along with all the comforts of home and more.
 Our
yachts provide for an uncrowded experience for 8 to 16 passengers,
with our new vessel, the Evolution, catering for up to 32. The
sheer variety of options enable us to create a tailored and flexible,
one-of-a-kind voyage for you. Our yachts are ideal for private
charters as well, and we will arrange a journey around your favourite
activities and interests.
All cabins have private bathrooms, hot showers and
air conditioning. Your galley and dining staff provide both wholesome
and gourmet meals, and each vessel is stocked with a library of
information on the natural history of the Galápagos plus
an entertainment centre complete with DVDs or videos.
All our yachts, including sailing vessels, are equipped
with engines to cover the distances of your itinerary expeditiously.
All boats have plenty of areas to lounge in the sun or shade,
and the bar is always open for refreshments. Sea kayaks are available
for some additional fun and we carry snorkeling gear for all.

Ideal for Mid-Sized Charters
 The
Alta is the most elegant sailing ship in the Galápagos and
ideal for modern-day explorers seeking uniqueness and exclusivity.
Under sail she cuts an attention-grabbing profile while making for
an exhilarating onboard experience. The interesting architecture
of her eight, well appointed cabins is both spacious and charming,
and you’ll find ample closet and drawer space. The saloon,
where we receive briefings from our naturalist guide each day, is
bounded on three sides by a comfortable built-in sofa across from
an old-fashioned bar. Alta staff offer gourmet dining inside, or
an equally elegant al fresco meal on the foredeck.
There are many places to relax, including a sundeck with lounge
chairs forward of the bridge, and another with large cushions on
the bow of the yacht. When conditions permit, sails are hoisted
aboard the Alta, one of the truly beautiful yachts in the archipelago.
 Parranda
- Motor Yacht
Built in the USA, Parranda is fitted with a stabilizer
system making for the smoothest running in the calm Galápagos
seas.
 Her
saloon has the spaciousness and comfort of a lodge with the added
benefit of large windows overlooking an ever changing ocean view.
It’s the ideal location for the daily briefings given by
our naturalist guide.
Cabins are large with plenty of closet and storage
space. Dining is aft under a partially enclosed canopy for a comfortably
open setting. Parranda’s sundeck is long and spacious with
comfortable lounge chairs set beneath a canopied roof.
Evolution - Expedition Vessel
 In
the days before jet travel, the wealthy built smaller versions
of the great ocean liners as personal yachts. The Evolution gives
travellers the sensation of stepping back in a time when travel
was less about getting there and more about a style of life focused
on visiting exotic places.
This unique adventure ship has all the modern amenities
and loving attention to detail in its design—in the spirit
of bygone oceangoing luxury—yet retains the jovial atmosphere
of a smaller boat.
 It
features stylish cabins, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a library,
a relaxing observation deck lounge with rattan furniture and bar,
a sundeck with a small splash pool, and an infirmary. There are
plenty of friendly staff ready to see to your wishes and needs.
An onboard hotel manager will oversee your yacht,
and depending on the size of your group, you may have up to two
naturalist guides. We dedicate the Evolution to the astute world-traveller
whose voyage of discovery is boundless and never-ending!
Lammer Law - Motor Sailer
 The
unique configuration of this Canadian-built trimaran makes for
a swift, stable platform that provides both spaciousness and supreme
comfort. She’s the ideal adventure vessel, attractive to
the dedicated diver, sea-kayaker and natural-history passenger
alike. Lammer Law is a superlative, fully outfitted dive boat—one
of two in our fleet—with the result that she is highly sought-after.
Her large sundeck encompasses most of the yacht’s exterior,
making an ideal mother ship for stowing and launching sea kayaks
on special paddling itineraries.
 The
main salon is truly spacious, equipped with luxurious sofas and
chairs, a bar and entertainment centre. Passengers gather here
for briefings by our guides, to watch films, enjoy a drink at
the bar or just relax. All meals are served outside as the dining
area is located in the stern.
She has eight very roomy cabins with plenty of storage.
All the beds can be arranged as doubles or separate twins. The
sun deck seems to offer acres of space to sunbathe, read a book,
take pictures, or just enjoy the journey to the next island. Aft
of the main deck is the cockpit; if there’s a good wind
our captain may hoist the sails and he’ll always be ready
with pointers for the recreational sailor, or ready to share navigation
tips with more experienced mariners. The combination of stability,
grace and speed make Lammer Law the perfect partner for a Galápagos
discovery adventure.
Lammer Law is available for two sorts
of cruises - naturalist and diving. For the dedicated dive departures
you must be an experienced diver with 50 plus dives in your log
book.
Mistral - Motor Yacht
 Built
specifically for the Galápagos by Vanderhoeven Yachts of
Holland, Mistral is tailored for the adventurous diver or natural
history traveller who prefers the familiar atmosphere of a smaller
vessel. Mistral is one of our two yachts fully equipped for diving
and is an ideal option for small groups of friends or family seeking
a private charter.
The main salon is bright and welcoming. Its large
windows and raised position make for stunning, ever-changing views
of the islands.
 The
cabins are comfortably and intelligently laid out with either
single upper-and-lower bunks or single upper-and-double-lowers.
As with all our fleet, each cabin has its own private bathroom
and shower.
Mistral offers both an interior dining room with
tables serving 8 and 4 guests respectively, or al fresco dining
on the aft deck where all guests can sit together. She carries
plenty of room to relax outside, either on the sundeck or the
cushions at her bow.
Mistral is available for two sorts of
cruises - naturalist and diving. For the dedicated dive departures
you must be an experienced diver with 50 plus dives in your log
book.
CONSIDER CHARTERING YOUR OWN VESSEL
Because our yachts are designed for an uncrowded
experience of from 8 to 16 passengers, with the Evolution carrying
up to 32, they are ideal for private charters. Chartering can
prove to be more cost effective than making individual reservations.
A charter is ideal for friends and family members wanting to focus
on creating a truly wonderful and intimate shared adventure. A
charter equals an even more tailored, flexible and one of a kind
voyage to suit your itinerary, activities and style.
