The Galapagos Islands - Ecuador
TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS
 Parranda MOTOR YACHT

The Parranda is ideal for those who wish to experience the Galapagos Islands in comfort and refinement.  The yacht is outfitted with stabilizers for steadier cruising and offers excellent onboard services.

“During our entire trip we did not see any other boat as impressive as the Parranda, and we would highly recommend this yacht to any person who likes the creature comforts whilst they travel.” (Thelma Oakes, UK)
