Beluga
The Beluga is an elegant and spacious motor yacht offering a great service ethic as well as an exciting complete loop itinerary. Few yachts offer more luxurious or comfortable cruising. In 2012 it also boasts an innovative rotating itinerary - one week to the western islands of Isabela and Fernandina, the next week the classic north/south route, in this way it is also possible to do a 15-day cruise of literally all of the islands!
