Galapagos Islands - Galapagos Cruises

Reina Silvia

Built by Lydia Inc. of Stuart, Florida, USA, Reina Silvia Yatch is 90 feet long. 
She was redesigned to create a pleasant atmosphere for groups of up to 16 distinguished passengers.

With a highly trained crew of eight, including a multilingual naturalist guide, the yatch accommodates her guests in eight double cabins, all furnished with oversized upper and lower beds, WC, shower, washbasin and vanity. On charter cruises, the owner's cabin (king-size bed) on the upper deck is also available in which case two of the regular cabins may be used for single occupancy.
The yacht is fully air-conditioned and features up-to-date security, navigational and communications equipment, including satellite telephony. From the well-equipped galley an excellent cuisine is offered in the spacious dining room. 

This area and the forward salon are used for lectures and conferences. Drinks are served at the bar or on the large sun deck (under awning).

The yacht has a swimming/divireina silviang platform aft and an extended bow pulpit for whale and dolphin watching. A desalination plant provides all the freshwater needed.

Diving cruises, under the guidance of an experienced certified dive master may be arranged. The yatch is equipped with an electric compressor, cylinders and weights.

M/Y Reina Silvia’s speed of 10 knots allows her to follow a splendid itinerary, visiting the most interesting places on the islands during a one-week cruise
