Galaxy is a beautiful motor yacht, launched in 2007 with excellent crew, good food and very spacious and comfortable interiors. Run by a local company with a very good reputation, Galaxy also has first rate naturalists on board. It has been one of our favourite yachts in recent years - the itineraries are great and it offers very good value we think for the quality of yacht and experience. The yacht is relatively fast, which means less time navigating than on slower yachts. The cabins are all very spacious with comfortable lower beds and outside views. This yacht is very good value for the quality of service and comfort afforded.

Itinerary

The Galaxy has 3 excellent 5 and 6 day itineraries that can be combined either with each other or with a stay on one of the inhabited islands. For guests wanting to try and fit a trip to Galapagos in a 1-week holiday period, we particularly like itinerary C, a 6 day itinerary which runs from Monday to Saturday.

Galaxy A (5 Days) Itinerary

This 5-day itinerary is excellent visiting a great selection of islands including the beautiful Española – and is particularly good when the Waved Albatross are on Española between April and December. It also has some great snorkelling.
