Galapagos Integrity Yacht
Taking a cruise on the luxurious 16-passenger Galapagos Integrity Yacht is a bit like staying in a fabulous boutique hotel, but with ever-changing spectacular scenery and mesmerizing wildlife appearing just off the deck.
The 141-foot luxury Galapagos Integrity motor yacht was designed with painstaking attention to detail and has been spotlessly maintained. Indeed, it has earned the reputation as one of the finest ships sailing the Galapagos Islands.
The Galapagos Integrity Motor Yacht is customized to carry 16 adventurers in comfort, safety, and style – something it has been doing in the waters of the Galapagos Islands since April 2005.
With the most comfortable staterooms and suites of any “enchanted islands” vessel – big ship or small – your stay on board the Integrity will be one of sheer delight. The decor is tasteful and simple, featuring hardwood that its owner hand-harvested, milled, and cured for this special yacht.
Each stateroom is a double cabin with comfortable seating, lots of storage, and large picture windows (no tiny portholes!). Cabin temperatures are individually controlled, and you’ll have a mini-refrigerator stocked with water and snacks in your room. Bathroom facilities are en-suite with a full-sized shower, lavatory, toilet, and storage cabinet.
The cozy lounge/salon is the perfect place for viewing the day’s Galapagos Islands photos on the wide-screen media center, as well as for reading or listening to the daily natural-history briefing from the ship's onboard naturalist.
In the large, well-equipped galley, the chef and his cooking team strive to satisfy. Menus are varied, carefully executed, and very healthy. Breakfast is buffet style with cereals, juices, fresh fruit, toast, muffins, hot items, and eggs cooked to order. Freshly brewed coffee, a selection of teas, milk, and cocoa are also served. Lunch and dinner are served in several elegantly plated courses and often start with a soup, followed by safe-to-eat salads and the main course of fish, chicken, beef, or seafood. And there’s always dessert, coffee, and tea. Special diets are readily accommodated, and there are plenty of kid-friendly dishes.
As for the ship itself, the Integrity’s state-of-the-art stability and anti-vibration systems guarantee “smooth sailing” all the way. The interior design of the motor yacht is impeccable, while the social areas are spacious and the services are some of the best to be found.
