Monserrat Yacht Galapagos Cruise - Enjoying Ecuador Travel

General information

The Monserrat Yacht is named after the Virgin of Montserrat, patroness of Catalonia in Spain. For centuries, sailors worldwide have adopted her as their loyal companion and have revered her as their protector through their journeys at sea. Our yacht proudly carries her name as an amulet for both our sailors and guests.

Refurbished in 2023, the Monserrat was specially built to cruise in the Galapagos islands in the most comfortable way while providing the highest levels of safety and care for the environment. The Monserrat has capacity for 20 persons in 10 cabins. All cabins have lower beds, twin or double, airconditioning and hot showers. The yacht has many social exterior and interior areas for passengers to enjoy while they relax after a day of excitement in the Galapagos. Exterior areas include a sun bathing area in the upper deck as well as a partially covered area on the sun deck all with reclining chairs.
