The Galapagos Islands - Ecuador
TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

 Encantada MOTOR SAIL BOAT

One of our most recommended cruise options! Extremely popular for it`s striking red sailing yacht style, popular service, and a nice itinerary to match. Past clients have always loved this boat!

"Encantada is small - definately among the smallest of the other boats we saw - but very cozy. The crew were helpful, provided good food/drinks, and attended to every need that we had." (Jean Lee, USA)

"Both of us had a wonderful time and the whole experience was amazing! The chef made delicious meals that catered especially for my food allergies, our guide had lots of experience and was funny and entertaining too, and the cosiness of being on a small boat helped us to develop many new friendships." (Pamela Retamal, Australia)

"A very professional tour which we enjoyed more than we'd dared to hope." (Emma and Kirsty, UK)

"Fantastic. It was a real pleasure to land in wild places with only a dozen people - this is the advantage of a smaller yacht. The crew were very attentive to us and respectful of the wildlife, the food was varied, fresh and tasty, and the itinerary kept us busy and engaged. Highly recommended!"
(Kevin Kelly, USA)

"Great passengers, crew, boat, itinerary, nature, weather & destination. My 40th birthday could not have been more special and I will never forget being sung happy birthday in 7 different languages. Many thanks to all for making this such a special occasion!" (Simon Jones, Encantada)
