Originally a fishing boat, built in 1988 in Vancouver, Canada, this large and spacious motor vessel was converted into a passenger vessel in the early 2000’s. The Galapagos cruise ship has 8 cabins (16 pax.), is air-conditioned throughout, and has a large salon/dining area with multiple large deck areas for relaxing, eating and socialising.

This charming and comfortable First-Class yacht was built for the rough waters of the Canadian West Coast, so it will provide a stable, smooth and relaxing ride while on your beautiful Galapagos small ship tour.
