GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Beagle, named after the ship on which Darwin arrived in the Galapagos, is a sizable 105-foot schooner, very stylishly designed during the 1970s and renovated several times since. Thirteen passengers are accommodated in 6 double cabins and a slightly smaller single cabin; each cabin has air conditioning and private bathroom. The yacht also houses a spacious dining room, a small library containing books about the Galapagos and its wildlife, as well as a generously sized deck, which is perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. The ship also has 2 kayaks and runs an interesting alternative itinerary. The Beagle is one of the few yachts that does not charge for individual supplements, making her perfect for solo passengers (If the single cabin is avaliable). 

The Beagle is named after HMS Beagle, on which Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands during the historic voyage that led to his revolutionary theory of evolution, largely inspired by his observations of this extraordinary archipelago.

A magnificent 105 foot twin screw steel hulled brig with teak decks and beautifully designed interiors, the Beagle is a classic among sailing yachts in the Galapagos and one of the friendliest and most comfortable. She was built by Cubow Ltd. in Woolwich, England. She has been a charter boat on the islands for over a decade and has been substantially renovated and improved.
