ABOUT GALAPAGOS EXPLORER

Fully refitted in 2024, the 38-metre Galapagos Explorer is an expedition yacht designed specifically for navigating the unique conditions of the Galápagos Islands. With accommodation for just 12 guests and an equal number of crew, the onboard experience is intentionally intimate, allowing for a high level of personal attention and operational flexibility throughout the voyage.

Life on board is centred around comfort and space. Multiple indoor and outdoor lounge and dining areas provide places to gather or retreat, while the upper-deck sundeck, complete with a hot tub and relaxed seating, offers a quiet vantage point after days spent exploring ashore and at sea. Six well-appointed cabins, including a generous upper-deck master and a full-beam VIP suite, are finished with contemporary detailing, air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. Large windows throughout the guest areas ensure constant connection with the surrounding landscapes.

Exploration aboard Galapagos Explorer is led by two certified naturalist guides, offering informed access to the islands’ extraordinary ecosystems and endemic wildlife. Encounters range from giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies on land to snorkelling with abundant marine life in waters recognised for exceptional biodiversity.

Each itinerary is carefully paced, balancing time ashore with moments to absorb the environment from the yacht itself. Guided walks, snorkelling and remote landings are complemented by tailored service on board, creating an experience that is immersive without feeling rushed, a considered way to explore one of the planet’s most protected and compelling destinations.
