Alta

Galapagos cruises among one of the most beautiful yachts in all of Galapagos, the Alta. Ideal for those seeking exclusivity and uniqueness on their Galapagos cruise. She is very stylish with the special charm of a sailing ship. Alta is fitted with 8 tastefully decorated cabins that accommodate up to 16 passengers. Each cabin has ample hanging locker and drawer space as well as private facilities with fresh, hot and cold water showers.

The main salon is inviting and comfortable, with a curving banquet and coffee table stand opposite a cabinet holding the TV/Video system. It is here you will meet each evening with your naturalist for daily briefings. For meals, there are two alternatives: the interior the dining salon or al fresco on the foredeck.

Alta offers many spots for relaxing or sunning, including a sundeck with lounge chairs just forward of the bridge, and another with cushions on the bow of the yacht. When the conditions are appropriate, the sails will be hoisted and Alta will become the most beautiful yacht in the Galapagos.
