Ship: Experience the luxury of exploring the Galapagos Islands aboard the Aqua Mare, a 50-meter Italian superyacht. Originally built in 1998 and recently refurbished in 2021, the five-stateroom yacht transformed into a seven-stateroom haven with a maximum capacity of 16 guests.
Amenities: The superyacht features a suite of amenities across its four decks, including a six-person outdoor Jacuzzi, a workout space, outdoor dining areas, bars and roomy lounges. The Beach Club on the lower deck houses a range of non-motorized water sports equipment, including double kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear.
Crew: With two knowledgeable naturalist guides and 14 crew members including a cruise director, you’ll enjoy a highly personalized experience.
Dining: The main deck is home to the dining room, and the menu features freshly caught local seafood across a range of Peruvian Nikkei-inspired dishes like Galapagueña lobster lettuce wraps and shrimp ceviche.
Rooms: Aqua Mare’s seven fully air-conditioned and sea-facing suites across five categories range from 16 m2 to the 80 m2 Owner’s Suite and feature a mix of king, double and twin beds to suit your needs. Plus, all suites invite you to admire the views from the large windows or portholes. The spa-like ensuite bathrooms are fitted with Italian marble, a generously sized walk-in shower and an overhead rain shower.
Itineraries: Choose from four itineraries when sailing aboard the Aqua Mare. Explore the eastern islands on a seven-night itinerary that includes Baltra, Genovesa, Santiago, Sombrero Chino, Bartolomé, Española, Sante Fé and Santa Cruz Islands, or discover the western islands with an itinerary that features Santa Cruz, Floreana, Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Rábida, Seymour Norte, Mosquera, Daphne and Baltra Islands. For the ultimate Galapagos Islands tour, consider the two options that combine the east and west itineraries for an epic 14-night journey.
