Who GALAPAGOS ANGEL suits
GALAPAGOS ANGEL is tailored for large parties and multi-generational groups planning an immersive expedition. Welcoming 16 guests across 8 cabins, with a dedicated crew of 9, she provides generous accommodation for family gatherings or shared adventures with friends. Between excursions, guests can unwind around the outdoor bar, relax in the jacuzzi on deck, or explore local waters using the kayaks. Her stabilizers at anchor ensure comfort throughout peaceful overnight stays.
When evaluated against comparable motor yachts cruising the Galapagos Islands, GALAPAGOS ANGEL stands apart with her newer build year, having launched in 2023 and undergone a refit in 2024. She features the same guest count as alternatives in the region and sits at a similar length of 35.1 m. Her weekly rate is also similar, providing a balance of fresh construction and spacious social areas.
For 2027, her schedule covers summer and winter across the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, and West Coast South America. The best time to charter depends on the preferred conditions for exploration. Journeys between January and May deliver warm tropical days and gentle seas, whereas embarking between June and December brings cooler ocean currents and heightened wildlife activity.

Cruising the Galapagos Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The Galapagos experiences two main seasons. From December to May, the warm, wet season brings calmer seas, warmer water, light winds, and periodic rain showers. From June to November, the cool, dry garúa season brings stronger trade winds, rougher seas, and nutrient-rich cold upwellings that increase marine activity. Peak visitor periods align with the warm season holidays and the North American summer months from June to August.
Practical tips
- Fly into Baltra (GPS) or San Cristóbal (SCY) via Quito (UIO) or Guayaquil (GYE); yachts usually meet guests at the Baltra airport dock or in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
- Navigation routes and shore landings are strictly scheduled by the Galápagos National Park Directorate, and a licensed local naturalist guide must accompany guests on all excursions.
- Vessels undergo rigorous biosecurity inspections before clearance; ensure all luggage, footwear, and equipment are thoroughly cleaned of seeds, soil, and organic matter.
Anchorages to know
- Academy Bay, Santa CruzAcademy Bay provides access to Puerto Ayora, featuring a rocky bottom with thin sand that offers poor holding and frequently requires mooring buoys or bow-and-stern anchoring.
- Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, San CristóbalThis harbour offers a sheltered anchorage on sand and rock, serving as a primary port of entry and disembarkation point for visiting yachts.
- Sullivan Bay, Santiago IslandLocated on the eastern shore of Santiago Island, this anchorage provides calm waters over sand, set directly against extensive black pahoehoe lava fields.
- Darwin Bay, Genovesa IslandFormed by a submerged volcanic caldera, this deep anchorage offers shelter inside the crater walls with access to seabird nesting colonies.
