Daphne Yacht Galapagos. In 2004 the yacht was rebuilt and a suite and a spacious sundeck was added to it. On the sun deck you can work on your tan while watching the frigate birds glide on the upwind of the boat.
With our cruise you will be exploring many of the different islands of the archipelago, in a way that we believe is the best for experiencing the magnificent Galapagos nature, flora and fauna, and of course its famous endemic animals – all first-hand and up close.
Cruise Overview
With an experienced crew and naturalist guide, the Daphne explores a wide variety of Galapagos destinations, including Santa Cruz, Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Floreana, Española, San Cristobal, and Genovesa, combining comfortable cruising with wildlife encounters and guided island exploration.
