PAST CLIENTS DARWIN YACHT FEEDBACK
"We had a great time aboard the Darwin. The yacht was quite luxurious, the meals were great and the staff really friendly. This Galapagos cruise was definately one of the highlights of our year of travel!" (Niamh, Karen and Orla, Ireland)
"I would thoroughly recommend the Darwin yacht to anyone. You couldn't really ask for anything more - it was clean and comfortable. The highlight though was the food - the chef was fantastic!" (Chris, UK)
"Everyone on the Darwin yacht (guide, captain, crew) aimed to please. If you can do the 8-day rather than 4 or 5 days then do it - it's worth paying the extra!" (Randy & family, USA)
"The Darwin was lovely, and the crew were all extremely professional, friendly and well-organised. It was the most enjoyable 8 days and I can find no fault in the trip whatsoever!" (Sue Fisher, UK)
