Galapagos Islands Cruises
Luxury Gringo Yachts
THE ULTIMATE GALAPAGOS EXPERIENCE!


Each agency has its own system for classifying yachts; our system is unique to others because we have chosen category names that we consider describe the boats better than those traditionally used, and we classify boats based not only on on-board services offered but also on past client recommendations and feedback. As such we consider that ours is the most unbiased and informative system available today.

Luxury Gringo cruises are the ultimate experience in Galapagos cruises. Yachts are beautifully crafted and on-board service should be excellent. As well as all of the basic on-board services (air conditioning, hot water, private bathroom).
Luxury Gringo Galapagos Yachts

Luxury Gringo boats offer the highest level of comfort available at the Galapagos Islands. Itineraries vary greatly and can be anything from  the standard north and south loops to the complete loop of the islands. Guides are usually of level III standard.

Luxury Gringo class yachts quite simply offer the most exclusive and luxurious Galapagos cruise experience available on the market.

Happy Gringo offers the following yachts under Luxury Gringo class:
