Explore the Galapagos Islands: Aqua Mare sets sail June 2022

INTO UNCHARTED WATERS... When Charles Darwin sailed the eastern Pacific Ocean in 1835, he discovered what we still find true today: there's not a place on Earth quite like the Galapagos Islands. At Aqua Expeditions, we promise you the adventure of a lifetime, and with the launch of our fifth vessel Aqua Mare, that's exactly where we're headed.   Nestled off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands harbor an entirely unique ecosystem, made up of endemic animals including Galapagos penguins, giant tortoises, land and marine iguanas, and sea lions. Revel in up-close encounters with these species, as you hike through remote trails and snorkel in pristine waters off the islands' volcanic shores.    After each excursion, return to the luxury of a superyacht – the only one which sails this archipelago. With elegantly designed suites and social spaces, including a sun deck, jacuzzi, and panoramic lounge, the 50-meter Aqua Mare makes a perfect respite following days filled with adventure and exploration.   Cuisine is another point of pride aboard all our vessels, and Aqua Mare is no different. With a menu designed by renowned chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, the superyacht presents an unparalleled dining experience inspired by the dramatic landscapes of the Galapagos Islands and the Peruvian Nikkei style.   Aqua Mare is now open for both individual travelers and charter bookings.
