Named after HMS Beagle in which Charles Darwin made his famous voyage to the Galapagos Islands,
today's Galapagos yacht M/S Beagle is a magnificent, 105' steel-hulled brigantine schooner with
wide teak decks and polished wood interiors. Her relatively small size and comfortable ambiance
make her a good choice for adults who want to experience the intimacy of classic, small-boat
cruising. Take in the Galapagos Island views from the observation decks or relax in the lounge
while traveling on your Galapagos adventure. Enjoy the delicious Ecuadorian and international
cuisine either in the salon or al fresco.
