This vessel was built in Guayaquil-Ecuador during the years 2003 and 2004. The San José is a very spacious yacht with 110 feet length and 25 feet wide.
Each of the eight double bedded cabins have private bathrooms, fully air conditioned and were build from port to starboard giving our guests incredible space, the dimensions are 5.80 m by 2.50 m (18.8 feet by 8 feet). All of the cabins also are exterior and have a great view of the ocean.
With a well thought out design the engine room is located below the living and dining room, in this way all the cabins are quiet giving our guests the possibility to rest well during all the nights they will spend on board our Yacht.
The San José also offers you lots of open space areas, such as, two sun green carpeted deck areas with sleeping comfortable chairs, beach tables and benches, where you can enjoy our navigations, the sun, the landscape of the islands, and with a little bit of luck dolphins or whales.
