MY Cachalote

Cruise Galapagos On Board the MY Cachalote Explorer

Description

Built in Vancouver, Canada, this large and spacious motor vessel was in 2017 converted into a 16 passenger vessel. The Cachalote Explorer has 8 cabins (16 pax.) each with their own private bathroom equipped with Hot and Cold-water shower, air-conditioned throughout, and a large salon/dining area with multiple large deck areas for relaxing, eating and socializing. Some of the cabins can take up to 3 or 4 passengers which makes it ideal for families.

This charming and comfortable First-Class yacht was built for the rough waters of the Canadian West Coast, so it will provide a stable, smooth and relaxing ride for your tour of the Galapagos Islands.

Cachalote Explorer Galapagos Small Ship Tour Itineraries

The Cachalote Explorer cruise itineraries offer the option of 6, 8 and 15-day tours, visiting selected sites approved by the Galapagos National Park. Each of these itineraries is unique, rich and varied and offers the opportunity to experience Galapagos up close and personal within a small group led by a highly experienced naturalist guide. Our two 8 day itineraries can be combined to form a 15-day itinerary which we highly recommend to those travelers who wish to have a complete, in-depth experience of the Galapagos Islands on a small cruise yacht.
