Galaxy Galapagos Yacht
The beautiful, modern first-class Galaxy Galapagos motor yacht was launched in 2007 with spacious comfortable cabins, good food, well-furnished social areas, and an excellent crew for its clients during their Galapagos Islands tours.
The Galaxy motor yacht can accommodate 18 passengers in nine (9) beautiful and comfortable double cabins with lower beds and outside views (3 cabins are located on the lower deck, 3 cabins on the main deck, and 3 cabins on the upper deck). Each of these cabins has private bathrooms with hot & cold- water, air conditioning, a hairdryer, a telephone for internal communications, and a loudspeaker.
The Galaxy Yacht offers a spacious sun deck with a fantastic area to enjoy Galapagos' landscapes, an ample dining room, a bar and lounge; a coffee station with tea, coffee, herbal infusions, and drinkable water all the time; and a small library with a TV and DVD.
The vessel’s activities onboard and on daily land excursions include hiking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and animal watching. The Galaxy provides free snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, and fins) and kayaks to complete your adventure on the islands.
The Galaxy is run by a local company with a good reputation for good services, proud of having the best Galapagos itineraries and a very good bilingual naturalist guide on board – in addition to the ship’s 9-member crew.
The Galaxy Galapagos motor yacht is one of the favorite yachts for people who are looking for Galapagos first-class cruises. All this makes a Galapagos Island cruise onboard the Galaxy motor yacht a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
