Galapagos Charters
A Galapagos charter gives you the opportunity to share this magnificent location with your closest family members and friends in an intimate and ideal manner. It is hard to imagine a better way to bring a family or group of friends together than on a 4 to 8 day cruise around the Galapagos Islands.
The advantages of a charter are many: your own private guide making sure your family and friends have the best experience of their lives; the entire crew working only for you and your traveling companions; greater flexibility in terms of the pace of the excursions; all the public spaces on the vessel just for you; and total control over the assignment of the best cabins on board.
Luxury Class Yachts
Galapagos Luxury yachts are different from normal luxury charters. While they offer premium service and tend to be sleek, elegant, and modern, they are still expedition ships. Luxury boats may offer larger cabin sizes, or amenities such as a Jacuzzi or private balconies.

First Class Yachts
First class Galapagos boats are comfortable ships but don't offer as many amenities as the luxury boats. First class boats are a great option for travelers who want a less expensive cruise that is still comfortable and service-oriented.

Tourist Superior Class Yachts
The tourist class Galapagos boats offer the most economical cruise options. The ships are often decorated in a simple fashion, and cabins may be slightly smaller, but they are clean and comfortable. The ones we recommend offer intimate, family-like service with high quality naturalist guiding.
