TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS

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.
