We charter the M/Y Beluga exclusively for our scheduled tour groups. This steel-hulled motor yacht is 33.5 metres long, accommodating 16 passengers and 8 crew. She travels at a speed of 12 knots, allowing us to get to 8 islands comfortably during our 8-day expedition cruise. She is well-appointed with comfortable air-conditioned private cabins and ample lounge and observation deck space.

“[The Beluga] was cozy but complete with plenty of spaces for alone time. Salon and dining areas were comfortable. The crew was excellent. The chef did a fantastic job of preparing three very good meals per day. The Beluga is a great way to experience the Galapagos.”
