Aqua Mare

16 passengers, 2 guides, 1 cruise director, 13 crew

Arguably the most luxurious option in Galápagos for affluent explorers who desire a “private yacht” luxury experience, even if you don’t charter the entire ship. With a ratio of maximum 16 guests, 13 crew members, a cruise director and 2 naturalist guides, you are guaranteed a service level that will be second to none.

This true superyacht has 7 design suites, including the generous Owner’s Suite, measuring 80 sqm. Each suite is sea-facing with premium furnishings and personalized details that complement the rich history of its destination.

The design of the yacht is unique among the archipelago vessels, it is personal and warm and makes you feel you are embarking on a journey designed just for you. The spacious social areas are divided over 4 decks and offer ample options for relaxation:

• Sun Deck: with panoramic dining, outdoor seating, lounge sofa, barbecue area, outdoor 6-person Jacuzzi, and outdoor workout zone
• Upper Deck: with captains bridge, main panoramic lounge, library, lobby bar, and outdoor deck
• Main Deck: with indoor dining room, pop-up boutique, and outdoor dining and lounge area
• Lower Deck with swim platform, and indoor panoramic beach club / movie room. The beach club located at water level at the stern of the yacht is truly unique and a most comfortable space to relax before and after excursions to the enchanted islands or magical underwater experiences.

The yacht is fully equipped for adventure with two zodiacs, available paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling gear. Another aspect that makes Aqua Mare truly unique: it is the only vessel in Galápagos that allows you to combine a naturalist cruise with diving adventure; to be reserved upon demand with your booking.

Fine dining is offered under the expert supervision of acclaimed chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino: “Latin American chefs have an obligation to work with local produce in a responsible manner, caring for both the individual producer or farmer as well as the entire ecosystem. This is precisely what we have established for Aqua Mare, as we have fostered a close relationship with the local community, who in turn provide us with the best available produce the region has to offer. A true farm-to-table approach ensures that our guests will have an authentic and unforgettable culinary experience.” – Chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino

Aqua Mare offers two 8-day/7-nights journeys which can be combined to a complete 15-day nature extravaganza.
