    “Conservation at Our Core”

    Ecoventura’s Evolve is purpose-built to minimize environmental impact. Its steel hull and composite superstructure reduce weight and drag, while the wave-piercing keel and optimized bow lower fuel consumption and emissions. The zodiacs used for excursions are fitted with electric motors to reduce noise and fossil fuel use. The company also partners with Avianca to develop a recycling center on the islands, ensuring waste is transported off-island and not landfilled locally. Ecoventura supports the Galápagos Biodiversity & Education for Sustainability Fund (GBESF) and collaborates with the Charles Darwin Foundation

    Why you'll stay forever
    Top Features to Elevate Your Voyage
    Fully Equipped Onboard Amenities

    Each yacht carries a lounge, dining room, library, bar, fitness center, sundeck, Jacuzzi, and 24/7 WiFi for guest comfort and connectivity. Open‑bar, designer interiors, and locally sourced culinary programs further elevate the onboard experience.

    Relais & Châteaux Hospitality & Design

    Each vessel in the Ecoventura fleet is a Relais & Châteaux member, combining boutique yachting comfort with high standards of design, service, and culinary artistry. With only 10 staterooms per ship, guests receive a refined, personalized experience rarely found in larger Galápagos vessels.

    Small Scale, Intimate Guest Experience

    With a maximum of 20 guests per boat and two naturalist guides per ship, the fleet offers one of the lowest guest-to-guide ratios in the Galápagos. This scale ensures more time ashore, deeper interpretive engagement, and fewer crowds at landing sites compared to larger ships.

    State‑of‑the‑art Eco Design & Efficiency

    Ecoventura’s yachts use wave‑piercing keels, bulbous bows, and lightweight composite materials to be up to 30% more fuel efficient than many comparable vessels. They also incorporate advanced water treatment, dual-flush systems, and biodegradable amenities to minimize ecological impact.
