The M/Y Eric, M/Y Flamingo I and M/Y Letty
are identical, custom designed yachts. Together they created a
signature fleet of 20-passenger first class motor-yachts used
only on exclusive use for Galapagos excursions.
Eighty-three-feet long with 24-foot beams, the yachts offer
spacious accommodations for small groups. Twenty passengers and
two guides per yacht ensure that each guest enjoys a
personalized voyage.
The interior of each yacht is designed in polished teak wood and
feature fully air conditioned cabins, public spaces, dining
room, well-stocked bar, conference area with television, VCR,
stereo cassette/CD equipment, and book and video library.
Picture windows surround the upper two decks and offer
spectacular panoramic views of the sea and landscape. Enjoy
ocean breezes on sun-deck lounge chairs and at observation
points. Snorkeling equipment, wet suits, sea kayaks, and beach
towels are provided at no additional charge.
Accommodations include ten cabins located on three decks, each
with a large private bathroom and a fresh, hot-and-cold-water
shower. Either two twin lower beds or one double bed, a roomy
closet, drawers, overhead storage, separate climate controls,
intercom system, bottled water, hair dryer, toiletries, and
fresh towels grace the inside of each cabin.
Start each day with a casual breakfast buffet including fresh,
exotic fruit juices, eggs cooked to order, toast, "café con
leche", and a wide array of cereals. At lunch, enjoy a buffet of
crisp salads, pastas, assorted vegetables, fresh produce, meats,
and fish all creatively prepared. Unwind quickly in the evening
with creamy soups, "ceviche", grilled seafood, roasted potato
salad, unique deserts, and other delicacies both Ecuadorian and
international.
A seasoned captain, 8 dedicated crewmembers, and two
experienced, English-speaking naturalist guides attend to the
details of your Galapagos cruise. Each naturalist takes a group
of no more than 10 passengers on all shore excursions and shares
extensive insights into the Islands’ diverse wildlife. Small
wooden boats, locally called "pangas", ferry passengers to shore
for Island visits.
