The Darwin Yacht is a tourist superior yacht. This type of yacht is designed for travelers who seek an economical alternative without sacrificing comfort and privacy. The yacht benefits from a large dining room, a deck, and comfortable cabins with berths, a closet and bathroom. This boat also includes all snorkeling equipment at no extra charge to allow you to not only enjoy the marvels on land but also the magnificent sights under water.
The Darwin yacht offers particularly attractive value for money - something of a rarity in the Galapagos which is always an expensive destination!
