Dear Travel Agent:
We would like to give you some definitions and clarifications about the Standards of the yachts operating on The Galapagos Islands . European or North American standards are higher than the standards normally defined in Galapagos by yacht owners and this can lead to false expectative, unhappiness and complains from your kind clients. Taking into consideration this very important point we would like first to clarify some definitions about the different category of the yachts used by Unigalapagos and Ecoandes Travel (categories are considering the homologation of the standards used on Galapagos with the European standard):
1)Tourist Class Yachts: These are confortable yachts for 16 passengers accommodated in double cabins (with upper and lower beds) with private facilities and air conditioned. These yachts also have a separate bar - dinning room and some have a separate bar area on main deck and resting area (p.e. Amigo).
Our Tourist Class Yachts: Amigo.
2)First Class Yachts: These in fact are with comfortable cabins in different categories. In our case we suggest the confortable Yacht M/C Anahi
3) First Class Ships: These are comfortable vessels with a bigger capacity: Eclipse ( 48 passengers) and Legend Ship ( 100 pax) whuch accommodate the passangers in comfortable interior and exterior cabins with private facilities, airconditioning,etc. The Eclipse and Legend ships feature a disco-bar , restaurant, swimming pool, boutique,etc.
