M/Y Eric, Flamingo I, and Letty are our signature yachts with identical characteristics. A seasoned captain, 8 dedicated crewmembers, and 2 experienced English-speaking naturalist guides attend to the details of your Galapagos cruise. Each naturalist takes a group of no more than 10 passengers on all shore excursions and shares extensive insights into the Islands' diverse wildlife. Small wooden boats locally called pangas ferry passengers to shore for Island visits.

Trips depart from San Cristóbal on Sundays and offer weeklong, comprehensive itineraries to visit the islands' most spectacular sites. Twenty passengers and two guides per yacht ensure that each guest enjoys a personalized voyage. Snorkeling equipment, wet suits, sea kayaks, and beach towels are provided at no additional charge.
If you cannot fit a full week sailing into your itinerary, we offer an option of a 6-day/ 5-night sailing Sunday to Friday. The itinerary is the same as the 7-night cruise until Friday morning when passengers disembark and transfer to the airport in Baltra. This option is available on almost all weeks with the exception of peak and holiday weeks.
