Space, tranquillity and a focus on sustainability

Tribute is a 42-metre luxury expedition yacht for a maximum of 16 passengers. With just eight suites, generous indoor and outdoor spaces and two naturalist guides, the yacht offers plenty of room and an intimate way to explore the Galapagos.

Particular attention has been paid to reducing energy consumption while enhancing comfort at sea. Efficient climate control with heat recovery, advanced noise and vibration insulation and stabilisers all contribute to a quieter and more comfortable sailing experience.

On board

The communal areas are spread across several decks. On the Main Deck, you will find the ocean-view restaurant, a cocktail bar and wine vault, a coffee and snack corner, and a lounge with library. The Bridge Deck offers several outdoor lounges, including an area for observing marine life, as well as a flexible space for workouts and massages.

The spacious Sky Deck is one of the yacht’s main outdoor areas. It offers a variety of seating and lounging areas in both sun and shade, al fresco dining, a barbecue and a hydro-massage spa. The deck provides panoramic views across the surrounding ocean.

Meals combine Ecuadorian and international cuisine and are served at the table, while breakfast is complemented by a selection of buffet dishes. Ecuadorian products also feature in experiences such as chocolate and wine tastings. A selection of house wines, local beer and soft drinks is included during the cruise.

Complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi is available on board, subject to connectivity in the more remote parts of the archipelago.
