About the Ship

Yacht La Pinta

La Pinta is a stylish expedition yacht designed to offer an intimate and enriching way to explore the Galápagos. With just 48 guests, it combines modern comfort, generous public spaces and an excellent naturalist program to create an experience that feels both immersive and relaxed. Its small size allows for flexible itineraries, close-up wildlife encounters and smooth navigation between the islands.
