An exclusive 38 m (124 ft) luxury expedition yacht designed to navigate the iconic Galapagos Islands from June 2024
Isolated 900 km (559 mi) west of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands is a showcase of biodiversity and unique wildlife species that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution. Setting course June 2024, our all-new 38 m (124 ft) expedition yacht seeks to exclusively explore the Galapagos’ diverse islands uncovering all its wild creatures. With only 12 guests on board, our elevated guest-to-staff ratio makes the Galapagos Explorer the most exclusive yacht operating in the islands. From tailored dining experiences to curated water and land experiences, our dedicated team continuously goes beyond the expected, offering a level of personalised service and attention to detail like no other.
With expert interpretation from specially trained and dedicated guides, there are two 7-night set departure itineraries available exploring either the east or west islands of the archipelago. From up-close encounters with iconic species such as the giant Galapagos tortoise and blue-footed boobies to snorkelling in pristine waters teeming with endemic marine life, every voyage is a thrilling adventure of exploration and discovery.
