Follow in Darwin’s footsteps to a wild paradise with the luxurious Aqua Mare

Venture into one of the world’s most exotic destinations on the most luxurious private yacht charter Galapagos Islands has to offer. Characterized by unparalleled natural beauty, endemic wildlife, and rich history, the Galapagos archipelago is known as the island born of fire, created as a result of centuries of volcanic eruptions.
Today, each island offers a different landscape for exploration. Imagine mountainous terrains scattered with shield volcanoes and lava fields, arid zones covered with endemic cacti, and beautiful white-sand beaches with sparkling turquoise waters. Its marine reserve is also one of the largest and most biologically diverse in the world.
Guests will have ample daily opportunities to embark on guided snorkeling and diving excursions and witness the region’s incredible marine life on Aqua Mare’s Galapagos private yacht charter. The waters surrounding the Galapagos Islands are home to a myriad of sea creatures including species of sharks, rays, reef fish, and occasionally, even whales.
Over on land, Aqua Mare guests will experience guided hiking adventures to some of the islands’ hotspots for spotting wildlife. There’ll be chances to see land and marine iguanas — striking creatures which look like they were descendants of the mythical dragons. There’ll also be visits to see the remarkable Galapagos penguins, blue-footed boobies, and giant tortoises, which are one of the key highlights of an expedition to the Galapagos Islands.
Setting a new standard for boutique luxury ocean expeditions in the region, the seven-suite Aqua Mare Galapagos private charter will navigate this UNESCO World Heritage Site and explore its rich biodiversity with two seven- and two 14-night itineraries, each of which can be personalized according to individual preferences.
