A Journey to the Edge of the World in Absolute Comfort and Style.
If you have ever dreamed of escaping somewhere truly untouched, the Galapagos Islands should be at the top of your list. Imagine crystal-clear water, volcanic landscapes, and wildlife so unique it feels like another world. And the best way to see it all? By sailing on your own private yacht. You can move at your own pace, stop where you want, and enjoy every view without the crowds. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, freedom, and adventure — a rare chance to experience the Galapagos exactly the way you want to.
Why Choose a Private Yacht Experience
Exploring the Galapagos by private yacht allows complete freedom to design your own itinerary. Whether you want to spend hours snorkelling with sea turtles, photograph rare birds, or hike across volcanic terrain, each day is designed entirely around your interests.
Every vessel offers world-class comfort, from elegant staterooms and panoramic lounges to fine dining prepared by onboard chefs using fresh, local ingredients like Ecuadorian cacao, Andean quinoa, Galapagos-caught lobster, and tropical fruits such as passion fruit and papaya. It’s a perfect blend of local flavour and refined presentation, enjoyed against some of the most stunning backdrops on Earth.
A personal naturalist guide, certified by the Galapagos National Park, accompanies your journey to ensure you gain deeper insights into the islands’ fragile ecosystem. Their expertise transforms every landing and wildlife encounter into a meaningful experience — whether you’re observing blue-footed boobies on Española Island or learning about the volcanic origins of Isabela.

Highlights of the Journey
Each island in the Galapagos tells its own story.
- Santa Cruz is home to giant tortoise reserves and lush highlands.
- Isabela, the largest island, offers lava fields, flamingo lagoons, and the majestic Sierra Negra volcano.
- Espanola captivates visitors with its colonies of waved albatrosses and dramatic cliffs.
- Fernandina, one of the youngest islands, showcases untouched volcanic landscapes and thriving marine iguanas.
For those who love the ocean, the Galapagos Marine Reserve-one of the largest in the world- offers exceptional snorkelling and diving opportunities. You may find yourself swimming alongside playful sea lions, manta rays, reef sharks, or even penguins, a rare sight near the equator.
Best Time to Visit: December to May
The December to May season is widely considered the best time to explore the Galapagos. The seas are calm, temperatures are pleasant, and marine visibility is excellent. Many species are more active during these months, offering unparalleled opportunities for wildlife encounters. Because this is the peak sailing season, early bookings are highly recommended to secure the finest private yachts and expert guides.
