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 ofrer first-class cruising in Galapagos. Yachts are beautifully crafted and on-board service excellent. As well as all of the basic on-board services (air conditioning, hot water, private bathroom).

Luxury Gringo boats offer a very high level of comfort. 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.
