life on board

Each day start easy on deck—coffee, seabirds, and your naturalist guide setting the plan. With just 16 guests, everything feels smooth: quick Zodiac landings, unhurried beach time, and snorkeling where sea lions often glide past. Back on this small-ship yacht, fresh towels, light ceviche, and the Jacuzzi sun deck bridge adventures and downtime.

Evenings are relaxed and social: a conversational briefing, al-fresco dining with Ecuadorian flavors, then stargazing as the yacht’s wide 9-meter beam keeps the ride calm. When you are ready to unplug, your balcony suite is steps away, cool, quiet, and ocean-breezy.

It is that sweet spot guests love: real expedition energy with just-right comfort, ideal for families, couples, and solo nature-lovers seeking a small-ship Galapagos cruise that’s intimate, stable, and unforgettable.

Balcony-suite downtime: Between excursions, your suite becomes a private lookout

Two Jacuzzis, two moods: Head to the sun deck for a long soak, there are two Jacuzzis, typically one shaded and one open to the sun, plus loungers and a wide solarium for golden-hour stargazing after dinner.

See beneath the surface, snorkel or stay dry: Snorkel with included gear (wetsuits commonly available), kayaks are also carried, adding quiet coastline time when conditions allow.

Family-friendly configurations: Traveling together is easy: ask for interconnected suites or select triples to stay close without sacrificing space or privacy, ideal for parents with one child or two-couple groups.

Wellness & little luxuries:  Beyond the Jacuzzis, some departures feature a mini-spa/massage on request and a compact workout space, thoughtful extras that keep energy high across a multi-day itinerary.

services & experiences

Balance your day, your way: Every landing offers choices, join an active hike, paddle a kayak, snorkel with sea lions, or simply ride along on a Zodiac coastal tour. The crew adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around.

Digital detox (mostly): Connectivity is limited in the National Park, and that’s part of the magic. Put the phone down, look up, and enjoy genuine off-grid moments. Upload your memories when you’re back on the mainland.

Sustainability is part of the journey: The yacht runs on eco-efficient systems and supports local sourcing, helping ensure your Galapagos luxury yacht experience leaves a light footprint while protecting these extraordinary islands for the future.
