Only in the Galapagos you can snorkel with a penguin on the Equator and, on the same day, swim with a sea lion in a secluded bay or go eye-to-eye with a flightless sea bird. The islands' isolation from the mainland means that many animals have no natural predators, therefore their apparent fearlessness. Around the Galapagos, where cold and warm waters intermingle, fur seals, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, and sharks thrive, unafraid of human predators.

Enjoy the crazy courtship dance of blue-footed boobies, watch puffed-up, crimson-throated frigate birds show off for their mates, gaze, awestruck, at hundreds of waved albatrosses and ponder the world's pinkest flamingos. Marvel at marine iguanas, lava lizards, and masked boobies.

In 1990, we outfitted our signature fleet of three 20-passenger first class motor-yachts, the M/Y ERIC, FLAMINGO I, and LETTY. We custom-designed each of these identical yachts exclusively for Galapagos excursions. Eighty-three-feet long with 24-foot beams, the yachts offer spacious accommodations for small groups. Twenty passengers and two guides per yacht ensure that each guest enjoys a personalized voyage.

The interior is designed in polished teak wood and feature fully air conditioned cabins, public spaces, dining room, well-stocked bar, conference area with television, VCR, stereo cassette/CD equipment, and book and video library. Picture windows surround the upper two decks and offer spectacular panoramic views of the sea and landscape. Enjoy ocean breezes on sun-deck lounge chairs and at observation points. Snorkeling equipment, wet suits, sea kayaks, and beach towels are provided at no additional charge.

Accommodations include ten cabins located on three decks, each with a large private bathroom and a fresh, hot-and-cold-water shower. Either two twin lower beds or one double bed, a roomy closet, drawers, overhead storage, separate climate controls, intercom system, bottled water, hair dryer, toiletries, and fresh towels grace the inside of each cabin.

Start each day with a casual breakfast buffet including fresh, exotic fruit juices, eggs cooked to order, toast, café con leche, and a wide array of cereals. At lunch, enjoy a buffet of crisp salads, pastas, assorted vegetables, fresh produce, meats, and fish all creatively prepared. Unwind quickly in the evening with creamy soups, ceviche, grilled seafood, roasted potato salad, unique desserts, and other delicacies both Ecuadorian and international.

A seasoned captain, 8 dedicated crewmembers, and two 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.
