Following a major reconstruction and refit in 2007, motor yacht La Pinta has became one of the most sought-after cruising vessels in the Galapagos. What sets her apart is her size: at over 209 feet long she is able to accommodate some of the largest and most prestigious cabins available in the Galapagos. Service on board is exceptional, with a crew of 27 to attend to your every need including 4 bilingual naturalists and a medical officer. Uniquely, La Pinta carries her own glass-bottomed boat, giving an unforgettable window onto the marine world, particularly for non-swimmers.

A Sophisticated Adventure
La Pinta is the perfect luxury base from which to enjoy your Galapagos adventure. Modern in design, with light-filled cabins and communal areas, La Pinta boast features that are simply not available on other vessels in the area. Complimentary satellite wifi is available on board, as are telephones with direct international dialling. Air conditioning is fitted throughout, of course, and additional thoughtful features like multi-channel sound systems for your personal music evidence the careful design of the yacht and its features.

As one of the larger vessels in the region, La Pinta is only ever crewed by top-ranking naval officers with many years of experience in the local waters. The dedicated ship’s medical officer is on call 24/7 to provide complimentary consultations, and La Pinta’s entire crew are dedicated to your safety and enjoyment.

Relax and Learn in Style
La Pinta's guests enjoy a large, well-appointed lounge with enormous panoramic windows that give unparalleled views of the Galapagos islands. Similar large windows can be found in many of the communal areas on board. Each evening the lounge becomes the focus for the nightly briefings from our expert naturalists, giving you all the information you could want about the wildlife in this extraordinary region.

There is a well-equipped fitness room which can boast one of the best views from a treadmill or exercise bike you will ever see! Other amenities include a hot tub, ample outdoor relaxation areas and a delightful boutique for a little retail therapy.

More Space for Families or Groups
La Pinta’s generous cabins give you room to relax and unwind in your own oasis of calm. Every cabin features amazing floor-to-ceiling windows, keeping you connected with the ocean and the islands as you sail. The decor is fresh and modern, with clean lines and elegant fittings.

For families or groups travelling together, La Pinta offers some of the most flexible accommodation around the islands - 4 of her cabins can be interconnected for your convenience. Her 20 Luxury Double/Twin and 4 Luxury Plus Triple cabins all have beds that can be joined or separated to meet your exact needs.

La Pinta’s guest-to-crew ratio of 3:2 means your every need can be catered for. The food service on board is a highlight of your experience.

Our comments
We love the sense of space and the extra amenities the size of La Pinta offers. Don’t underestimate the delights of waking up in a cabin with full-height windows and a view of the ocean and the islands. Extra touches like wifi onboard, a dedicated medical officer and the wonderful glass-bottomed boat make La Pinta that little bit more special. The fantastic staff to guest ratio and wonderful cuisine just gild the lily that is La Pinta in our book.
