She was built by Cubow Ltd. in Woolwich, England, in the 1970’s and registered with Lloyd’s (number Y 195095), but her designer is unknown. She’s been a charter vessel in the Islands for over a decade and has been substantially refurbished under her current ownership.
You will feel the sensation of space aboard the Beagle for kicking back and relaxing between your unforgettable visits on land. The saloon offers a small library of Galapagos literature, and a selection of games.
All around the wide decks, comfortable seating allows you to choose sunshine or shade for lounging and observation. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on board with the exception of the day you visit Puerto Ayora, when you will enjoy a meal in the highlands of Santa Cruz. Meals blend Ecuadorian and continental cuisine and are served on deck or in the saloon. Coffee and tea are available on deck, cold drinks including beer and a selection of wine and cocktails you may purchase from a well stocked bar. Refreshing snacks, especially at teatime, round out your daily menu.
A friendly and highly professional crew of six will attend you while on board: captain, helmsman, steward, cook, engineer and your certified bilingual naturalist guide. The guide will accompany you to all visiting sites within the National Park, providing a wealth of knowledge about the geological and human history of the Islands, and of course about every aspect of their intriguing flora and fauna.
The luggage allowance on the local airlines flying to Galapagos is 20 kilos, and for storage on board in your cabin, we recommend one soft-shell piece.
Dress is always casual on board. We suggest you include in your packing, lightweight trousers, cotton shorts, shirts, tee shirts and a windbreaker or a light sweater. You should also bring good walking shoes (sport shoes are fine) and waterproof sandals or similar protection for your feet in wet landings. We recommend a small backpack and water bottle, a waterproof bag for your camera with lots of film or memory sticks, bathing suits/ trunks are essential, as is a wide brimmed hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, your personal toiletries, first aid and medications, including insect repellent. The ship provides towels and fresh drinking water for island and snorkelling excursions.
