ABOUT THE ISABELA II
The 40-passenger ISABELA II, with 19 outside cabins plus an owners suite, is one of the most luxurious mid-size yachts cruising the Galapagos, and offers an elegant yet casual atmosphere for experiencing the full adventure of the Islands. The yacht is fully air conditioned; all cabins are spacious and have private bathrooms.

Its three public decks offer the amenities of a larger vessel, including bar-salon, dining room and sun deck. The library contains a variety of books on Galapagos and Ecuador, as well as excellent nature and conservation videos.

The sun deck is comprised of a bar with ample outdoor seating, an observation area for whale and dolphin watching, a Jacuzzi and solarium.   As an alternative to snorkeling, the glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the marine life.

From dining room to stateroom, one senses the superior quality at all levels of service. ISABELA’s trained chefs prepare a superb a-la-carte selection of meals. Our helpful, warm staff attends to your every need.
