Spondylus
 
The Galapagos Islands - EcuadorTRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

 Spondylus MOTOR BOAT

A new boat operating in 2006 the Spondylus is easily recognisable by it's wooden finish - hand-crafted using Ecuadorian traditional shipman´s techniques. One of the more spacious of the Standard Gringo boats with attractive and cosy cabins, a fantastic sundeck with sofas, and an all-round good tour.

This boat is highly recommended and is perhaps the only yacht at Galapagos which has been especially-designed by it's owners with tourists in mind.

 
"I would highly recommend this boat to anyone!" (John Portland, UK)

"Good boat - good crew - good food! Our dives were well planned and everything was perfectly organised - thankyou!"
(Anne & Jan Willem, Holland)

"We had the most fantastic time on the Spondylus - it was the best thing we have ever done on our lives!"
(Kevin Albery & Amanda O'Connor, UK)

"We really enjoyed the cruise - very good boat, excellent food throughout, entertaining and knowledgeable guide, and overall very high value for what we paid"
(Andreas Wiedekehr, Switzerland)

"The tour was excellent and surpassed all of my expectations. The boat was excellent and the our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable."
(Aubrey Donnelly, Ireland)
