Galapagos Tours, Cruises & Tailor-Made Island Hopping
An intimate, economic-class private journey for up to eight guests — shaped around your group, your dates and the wild rhythm of Galapagos.
This 15-meter, French-built Beneteau performance-cruiser monohull combines responsive sailing with dependable motor propulsion. Its spacious outdoor deck creates an open-air setting for ocean views, relaxing and wildlife watching between visitor sites.
True sailing when conditions allow. The sails are fully functional and may be used whenever wind, sea and operating conditions are favorable. Motor propulsion supports safe, reliable passages and the timing of scheduled landings.
A smaller, more relaxed vessel keeps your group connected to the sea throughout the journey. The experience feels personal, unhurried and closer to the natural character of the archipelago.
Open-air moments and a lower profile keep the ocean, landscapes and wildlife present throughout each day.
Travel becomes part of the discovery — time to observe, listen and experience Galapagos between every landing.
A genuinely intimate atmosphere with more personal attention and shared moments for your private group.
