Cabins on board Aqua Mare are among the most spacious in the Galápagos islands, comprising one impressive Owner’s Suite and six beautifully appointed Design Suites for a maximum of 16 guests. Refined interiors feature walnut veneer panelling and en suite bathrooms finished in Italian marble, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance. Between excursions, guests can relax in the panoramic lounge, unwind on the swim platform or settle on the sundeck, where a Jacuzzi and loungers provide the perfect vantage point over passing volcanic landscapes.
Dining is equally considered, with meals served in the sophisticated indoor dining room or al fresco on the shaded top deck and aft outdoor dining area. Despite its polished aesthetic, Aqua Mare maintains a relaxed ambience, enhanced by a no-shoe policy on board, with slippers provided for every guest on arrival.
The yacht typically operates two seven-night itineraries exploring either the eastern or western regions of the archipelago, which can be combined into a comprehensive 14-night voyage. Select shorter departures are also scheduled at certain times of year, offering additional flexibility for those seeking a shorter introduction to the islands.
Expeditions are inclusive and thoughtfully curated. Guests enjoy snorkelling equipment and wetsuits, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, high-speed Starlink WiFi, laundry service, all meals designed by consulting chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, selected beverages, small-group excursions, recommended airport transfers and the Galápagos National Park entrance fee. With a crew of 16, including two expert naturalist guides, service is highly personalised, ensuring a seamless and deeply enriching exploration of these remarkable islands.
