ITINERARIES:
 
DARWIN

The Darwin was built in 1995 in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos. She is available for charter and individual traveller bookings who can join our fixed departures.

She graciously carries the name of the most important visitor the Islands have had, Charles Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" not only caused a tremendous change in the science world but made the Islands famous and created a sense of responsibility to protect this unique paradise. We named our yacht after this important scientist as we would like to continue his legacy of discovery and protection of this natural sanctuary.

We invite you to learn about our boat and consider it your home when you visit the Galapagos Islands, the Darwin is a fine yacht designed exclusively for cruising the Galapagos archipelago.
