Sulidae

Ever dreamed of being a pirate? Or sailing with Jason and the Argonauts? The romance of an ancient sailing vessel --without the storms and dangers, scurvy and backbreaking work-- can be yours, sailing the Galapagos Islands aboard the venerable Sulidae.   US$ 1675

This wooden-hulled, gaff-rigged ketch began her maritime career in 1901 as a fishing vessel built in Denmark.

Looking more like a buccaneer's ship of booty than a modern day touring yacht, the Sulidae is quickly noted in the Galapagos Islands.

That she was built by craftsmen is evident in the fact that she is still sailing, sound as the day she was launched. She has been lovingly restored and modernized to include motor power and modern safety features. But she still looks like she should be flying the Jolly Roger and commanded by Captain Hook!

From its varnished wooden interior to its dyed canvas sails to its silvery galleon goblets, this ship takes you to the Galapagos Islands time forgot. Modern zodiacs take you with your multilingual naturalist guide to the islands, as the crew prepares your meals for dining in the Sande Veile galley, ensuring you get the Galapagos Islands holiday cruise of your life-time. The Sulidae sails through the Galapagos Islands with romance and ease. All in all, it has to be said that the Sulidae is a very special ship, for special people. She generates an uncommon comraderie, and she has her fans who return for second and third voyages. But she is not for everyone; if you require too many luxuries, the Sulidae is not for you.
