Cachalote MOTOR SAIL BOAT

The Cachalote yacht is a comfortable schooner rigged motor sailor built in 2002 offering fine Galapagos cruising and two excellent itineraries including one of the complete loop of the western islands.  The Cachalote boasts an impressive reputation at Galapagos and is always popular among past clients.

“An incredible cruise that exceeded all my expectations.” (Ben Cooper, USA)

"The Cachalote's on board service were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the Fernandina itinerary. A recommended cruise!" (Jo Haggle, UK)

"The Cachalote yacht has a lot of character, renovated, very clean with all facilities. The crew were very helpful and we had great meals every day. The Fernandina itinerary was awesome - we saw everything we expected to see and more including a blue whale, although the sea was rough at times. Absolutely recommended!" (Arina Cociuban)
