    Each day aboard Origin is a balance of motion and stillness: morning excursions to volcanic shores or mangrove lagoons, mid‑day snorkeling or kayaking, afternoon walking tours, and evenings under starlit decks with lectures or quiet reflection. Our naturalist guides, selected for both scientific knowledge and storytelling skill, bring the islands alive.

    Eco Origin — Sustainability In Action

  • <h2 class="ts--heading-l">A Floating Beacon of Eco‑Innovation <br/>‍<span class="u-capitalize--none u-italic">clean water & low footprint</span> in practice</h2>

    • ‍

    “Built From the Hull Up to Respect the Galápagos”

    The Origin was custom designed and built in Ecuador to optimize fuel efficiency (30% better than comparable yachts) through a streamlined curved bow and lightweight steel design. Its onboard systems treat grey water to high standards (filtering ~10,000 L/day) before release, use macerating dual‑flush toilets, and adhere to strict waste protocols. Ecoventura supports conservation organizations (e.g. Charles Darwin Foundation, Galápagos Conservation Trust) and runs a “no waste landfilling in Galápagos” waste transport program to mainland Ecuador. Many staff are Ecuadorian (≈ 65% from Galápagos), reinforcing local stewardship.

    Why you'll stay forever
    “Top Features: Intimacy, Innovation & Immersion”
    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.

    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.

    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.
