PREMIUM FLEET

Royal Galápagos. Three yachts, including room for twenty.

Three premium vessels, one of which (Infinity) hosts up to twenty guests. That’s the answer when your group is larger than a typical charter. Charter the whole boat, with a second senior naturalist and a photographer added to every trip.

The operator

The right answer for a bigger group.

Royal Galápagos runs three premium yachts in the islands. Two carry up to sixteen guests, and the third, Infinity, takes up to twenty. That makes Royal Galápagos the premium alternative for a bigger group when Hermes isn’t open for your dates.

All three are comfortable, well-run vessels, and all three can be chartered privately for your group alone, with our own naturalist and photographer added on top.

The Nautica Blu difference

What we add to your Royal Galápagos charter.

Royal Galápagos gives you the vessel, the crew, and a licensed naturalist. We add the things that turn it into a fully private trip.

A second senior naturalist

Hand-picked, alongside the operator’s guide. Two senior naturalists for your group, all week.

A photographer and videographer

Stills and video of your trip, delivered to your group. Not standard with the operator. Standard with us.

Flights, transfers, and pre or post days

Your Galápagos domestic flights and in-country coordination, plus optional mainland days in Quito or beyond.

Availability

Select your dates, we’ll organize the rest.

Departures across the Royal Galápagos fleet are available by request. Tell us your preferred dates, group size, and trip length, and we’ll confirm the right vessel and the options that fit.

We don’t publish per-charter rates. We’ll come back within 24 hours with availability and a clear all-in quote.
