About
the Ship |
|
| Built 1991, we outfitted our
signature fleet of three 20 passenger
first class motor-yachts, the M/Y
ERIC, FLAMINGOI and LETTY. We custom-designed
each of these identical yachts exclusively
for Galàpagos 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. |
