M/Y AMIGO
Built in 1985, the AMIGO I, a 62 feet motor yacht, is custom designed exclusively for cruising the Galapagos archipelago. Accommodations include 4 outside double berth cabins, and 4 inside double berth staterooms located on three decks. The cabins are furnished with two upper and lower beds or one double bed, a small private bathroom with hot and cold water, and climate controls.
Ample sized public areas in the yacht include an air-conditioned dining room, well-stocked bar, cozy conference area with television, VCR, stereo equipment and video library. A sun deck and observation area equipped with lounge chairs will invite you to catch the ocean breeze. With a maximum capacity of 16 passengers, the AMIGO I is an excellent alternative for friends that wish to enjoy together the adventure of a trip around the islands. For those who enjoy meeting new people from other countries, the yacht offers a welcoming atmosphere.
Our attentive 8-member crew, including a naturalist guide who accompanies our guests during the voyage and will ensure that the landing in the islands is completely pleasant, offer our guests cordial attention making the trip enjoyable.
The AMIGO I has an itinerary through 5 mayor and 4 minor islands, which offers a fascinating view of the wildlife at the "Last Living Sanctuary", as Jacques Costeau named the Galapagos Islands. The trip will be complimented with snorkeling activities, unique landscapes, scientific information, blue skies, and great fun aboard the yacht.
