GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

2 CACHALOTE EXP.jpg

16 passengers / Explorer Class

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 & 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.
