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