Princess of Galapagos MOTOR BOAT

The Princess of Galapagos, formerly the Yolita, is a good little budget option – a Basic Gringo boat that has recently been renovated to improve its services with provate bathroom in all cabins. Although fairly small and compact the Yolita has often received warm feedback from our clients.

"The Yolita (Princess) was perfect for us - cheap and a really memorable tour" (Sue, Australia)

"Nicer than the other cheap boats and really friendly staff!"
(Ed, UK)

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour. The crew were great. Although quite compact each cabin has enough room for a small amount of luggage, and has private bathroom. Lots of time for snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing!"
(Luan and Danielle, UK)

"Trip of a lifetime - one not to be missed. The budget boat the Yolita (Princess) provides a fantastic experience of the Galapagos with a friendly crew and knowledgable guide."
(Karen Harrington, UK)
