M/Y Eric, Flamingo I, and Letty are yachts
with identical characteristics. A captain, 8
crewmembers, and 2 English-speaking
naturalist guides attend to the details of your
Galapagos
cruise. |
|
Each naturalist takes a group of no more
than 10 passengers on all shore excursions and shares
extensive insights into the Islands' diverse
wildlife. Small
wooden boats locally called "pangas" ferry passengers to shore
for Island visits. Outfitted in 1990, the fleet of three
20-passenger first class motor-yachts ERIC, FLAMINGO I, and
LETTY are 83' long with 24' beams each and exclusively
custom-designed for
Galapagos excursions, with spacious
accommodations for small groups.
Accommodations
include ten double cabins located on three decks, each
furnished with two twin beds or one double bed, a roomy
closet, drawers, overhead storage plus climate controls, an
intercom system, and private bath. Cabins on Iguana
Deck are located at sea level, while the Booby and Dolphin
Decks have larger windows and are located on or above the main
deck. The boats' interior is designed in polished teak wood
and features air condition throughout, ample-sized common
areas including a dining room, a well-stocked bar, a
conference area with TV and VCR, stereo cassette/CD equipment,
and a book- and video library to escape the strong midday
heat.
