Galapagos Islands

Comprising a group of 19 islands, 13 large and six small, and dozens of islets and rocks that cover an area of over 17,000 square miles, the Galapagos Islands are truly the last frontier in terms of natural wonders, making your charter a journey of a lifetime.

There are two different cruising itineraries (A and B), designed to limit the number of people on any given island at the same time. This well-thought-out schedule also allows guests to enjoy private time savouring their own ‘piece of paradise’.

ABOUT YACHT CHARTERS IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Biologist and naturalist, Sir Charles Darwin first introduced the world to the Galapagos Islands in 1859, through his book “The Origin of the Species”, and presentations of his theory of evolution which he gleaned from five weeks studying the flora and fauna on the Galapagos Islands.

Since that time, the Galapagos have intrigued scientists from many fields, as well as intrepid travellers and seafarers mesmerised by the myriad natural wonders found only there. 

However despite this growing tourism and the development surrounding this, the human footprint here is very limited, and the iguanas, giant tortoises and birds, seals, sharks and other marine life take centre stage.

For divers the Galapagos islands are a true revelation. Their location, at a convergence point of three major ocean currents and the mingling of these nutrient rich waters have created a habitat where marine life seldom seen close to land including tunas, manta rays and hammerhead sharks abound and 20% of all the species are only found here.

Other activities include trekking, kayaking among the mangroves and lagoons, diving, snorkelling and “island hopping” to soak up the incredible diversity.

Each of the 20 islands that make up this archipelago have their own character both in terms of wildlife and the natural environment and a private crewed charter yacht allows you to see as many of these distinct areas as possible and in a level of luxury that you would not experience any other way.

Formed by volcanic activity that is still growing the island chain, the Galapagos Islands are home to a wealth of marinelife, crystal clear waters and spectacular native species that will intrigue and delight guests of all ages. Let us help you tick off this “Bucket-List” item.
