Galapagos Islands - PARRANDA

Category: Yacht
Class: Deluxe
Duration: 7 nts

Parranda is one of the most elegant and spacious motor yachts cruising the Galapagos. Carrying only 16 passengers, she is great for travellers who want to experience the Galapagos aboard a small vessel in comfort and refinement. Fitted with stabilizers to make cruising more comfortable, she is fast, allowing for less travel time between the islands and more time on visits.

The salon with its large windows allow you to have a scenic view of the outside. Dining is aft of the salon. It has a roof and windows on its sides, so that guests receive fresh air but are protected from the sun. The outside deck is extraordinary. Long and spacious, the deck has comfortable lounge chairs to read, sleep or relax, and is entirely covered by a canopy to offer protection from the sun.
