Overview: This 16-passenger vessel is a beautiful sailing vessel with old-world charm, luxury accommodation, excellent service, and a quality naturalist program and itinerary. This ship is well suited for travelers who seek exclusivity and uniqueness. Her romance comes from being a single hulled sailing vessel; when the conditions are appropriate, the sails are hoisted and Alta becomes the most beautiful yacht in the Galapagos. The interesting architecture of her cabins makes the most of the available space, providing an authentic, yet comfortable experience. Each cabin is fitted with ample storage as well as private facilities. Recreational equipment includes kayaks and snorkeling equipment (included in price).
Cabin Description: There are eight tastefully decorated cabins that accommodate up to 16 passengers. All cabins have ample hanging locker and drawer space as well as private bathrooms with showers.
