Aqua Mare

The Aqua Mare is the first superyacht to sail in the Galapagos Islands, owned and operated by the well-established luxury small-ship ocean and river operator, Aqua Expeditions. The Aqua Mare brings a new level of elegance to this remote region of the world, with opulent Italian design and spacious communal areas. The yacht’s 16 crew members, including two naturalist guides, ensure an exceptional one-on-one bespoke service to experience the wild and magnificent Enchanted Islands.

Cabins on the Aqua Mare are some of the most spacious available in the Galapagos Island and include one sumptuous Owner’s Suite and six Design Suites, accommodating up to 16 passengers. All cabins have a refined decor, with walnut veneer wood panelling and en suite bathrooms finished in Italian marble. Between excursions, guests can unwind in the spacious panoramic lounge, swim platform, or on the sundeck with its Jacuzzi and sun loungers, the ideal spot to enjoy the views. 

Meals are taken in the sophisticated dining room or al fresco on the shaded top deck, or in the aft outdoor dining area. Although the Aqua Mare is incredibly luxurious, it has a very relaxed atmosphere, with a no-shoe policy, slippers are provided on arrival for all guests.

The Aqua Mare regularly operates two seven-night itineraries, visiting either the eastern or western islands, or a combination of the two for an in-depth 14-night cruise. This year, the Aqua Mare will also feature one special 5-Night itinerary from October 6th-11th exploring the Eastern Galapagos Islands. 

Snorkelling equipment and wetsuits, use of kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, unlimited access to high-speed Starlink Wifi, laundry, plus all onboard meals (World-Class dining, menu designed by consulting chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino), non-alcoholic beverages, house wines and beer, small-group excursions, and group transfers to and from the airport for the company’s recommended flights, and entrance fee to the Galapagos National Park are included on all expeditions.
