The Beagle is a magnificent, fully air conditioned, deluxe, 105 foot steel hulled schooner with teak deck and a luxurious interior.

The Beagle is named after HMS Beagle, in which Charles Darwin made his famous voyage which took him to the Galapagos Islands. Later, based on his findings in this extraordinary archipelago, he wrote his theory on evolution. The boat was built in London, England in 1971 and has 6 double cabins, each with private shower and toilet.
