    Galapagos Aboard the Alta & Parranda

    The Alta and Parranda are ideal for modern-day Galapagos explorers seeking the uniqueness and exclusivity of a small yacht, offering a full range of services with open air spaces to better enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the islands.

    Alta is one of the most beautiful yachts in the Galapagos, a Three Masted Staysail Schooner, with that special charm of a sailing ship. Fitted with 8 tastefully decorated cabins that accommodate up to 16 passengers, each cabin has ample storage space and private bathroom facilities. The yacht offers many spots for relaxing or sunning on the spacious sundecks. When the conditions are appropriate, the sails will be hoisted and Alta will become the most enchanting yacht in the Galapagos. Please Note: Even with all the amenities, individual cabin space aboard a sailing vessel can feel limited. If you require something more spacious we recommend taking a look at the larger cabins on our other yachts so we can find the best fit for your needs.

    Parranda is an elegant, spacious motor yacht. She is great for travelers who want to experience the Galapagos in comfort and refinement. Fitted with stabilizers to make cruising more comfortable, she is fast, allowing for less time traveling between the islands and more time on exploration. The salon is ample and elegantly decorated, with large windows that allow a scenic view. Aft of the salon is the dining area, which is very pleasant because it is open towards the stern of the yacht. It also has a roof and windows on its sides, so that guests receive fresh air but are protected from the sun. The outside deck is extraordinary. Long and spacious, it has comfortable lounge chairs to read, sleep, or relax, and is entirely covered by a canopy to offer protection from the sun.
