Superyachts available in Galapagos Islands
Remote, pristine and unlike any other place on Earth, the Galapagos Islands offer an extraordinary setting for a luxury yacht charter in Galapagos. This volcanic archipelago, located on the Equator in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, is a sanctuary for wildlife, untouched landscapes and crystal-clear waters—best experienced aboard your private yacht.
With white-sand beaches, calm turquoise bays and surreal volcanic scenery, the Galapagos provide an idyllic backdrop for guests seeking comfort, exclusivity and close contact with nature.
From December to May, the warm season brings sunny days, calmer seas and excellent conditions for snorkelling, kayaking and swimming — a time when encounters with sea turtles, sea lions and rays are almost guaranteed.
From June to November, the cooler and drier season offers exceptional wildlife activity thanks to nutrient-rich currents. This period is ideal for observing marine birds, penguins, marine iguanas and larger schools of fish, making it a favourite for nature enthusiasts and avid snorkellers.
In the Galapagos, every month offers something unique, ensuring unforgettable experiences no matter when you choose to visit.

Galapagos by Private Yacht: A Truly Unique Luxury Charter Experience
A Galapagos luxury yacht charter places you at the center of one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Every day brings new wildlife discoveries—both on land and at sea.
You may find giant tortoises roaming freely, blue-footed boobies nesting along the coast, or penguins darting playfully in the water. On black lava rocks, marine iguanas bask in the sun while flightless cormorants, tropicbirds, whales, reef sharks, hammerheads, and flamingos complete the unforgettable spectacle.
Because wildlife in Galapagos has evolved without major predators, animals remain unusually calm in the presence of visitors. This allows for incredible photo opportunities—whether relaxing beside sea lions on a sandy beach or snorkelling next to penguins and harmless reef sharks (always respecting safe distances).
Your journey through the Galapagos is enriched by its diverse and fresh gastronomy. Whether prepared aboard your yacht by your private chef or enjoyed in a local restaurant, the cuisine celebrates exceptional ingredients such as lobster, red crab, sea cucumber and freshly caught fish.
Try Ecuadorian classics like ceviche or the islands’ renowned fish soups, or wander through colourful local markets filled with exotic fruits and vibrant juice stands. Dining in the Galapagos is an integral part of the experience—simple, fresh and deeply connected to the ocean.
Navigating the archipelago at your own pace aboard a private Galapagos yacht charter transforms your trip into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Your crew takes care of every detail: guiding you through protected landing sites, arranging water activities, preparing gourmet meals and ensuring a seamless, personalised experience.
From secluded coves to world-class snorkelling sites and remote volcanic landscapes, exploring Galapagos by yacht offers unrivalled privacy and access—allowing you to enjoy one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations with absolute freedom and comfort.
