Explore the Galápagos Islands by Private Yacht

A private yacht charter in the Galápagos Islands is one of the most extraordinary travel experiences in the world. From snorkeling with playful sea lions to walking beside giant tortoises and cruising past dramatic volcanic shorelines, every day brings rare and unforgettable encounters with nature.

With The Charter Yacht Company, your Galápagos charter is thoughtfully personalized so you can explore at your own pace with a private crew focused entirely on your experience.

Why Charter the Galápagos by Yacht

The Galápagos Islands are a protected national park with strict visitor regulations, which makes private yacht charters the most intimate and rewarding way to explore. Rather than sharing space with large groups on fixed itineraries, a private charter allows for flexibility, privacy, and deeper immersion.

Your yacht includes a professional crew and a certified naturalist guide who brings the islands to life through expert knowledge of wildlife, geology, and conservation.

Wildlife Encounters Like Nowhere Else

The Galápagos is famous for its fearless wildlife. You can swim with sea lions, spot penguins and marine iguanas, and observe blue footed boobies during courtship displays. On land, ancient lava fields and highland forests are home to giant tortoises and unique bird species found nowhere else on Earth.

Snorkeling reveals a vibrant underwater world filled with sea turtles, rays, and schools of tropical fish.

Where You Will Explore

Charter itineraries vary depending on season and park regulations, but often include highlights such as Santa Cruz, Isabela, Fernandina, Bartolomé, and North Seymour. Each island offers a distinct landscape and wildlife experience, from volcanic terrain to lush highlands and crystal clear waters.

We help design the best route based on your interests and the most active wildlife periods.

When to Visit the Galápagos

The Galápagos Islands can be visited year round, with each season offering something unique. From June through November, cooler waters attract abundant marine life and excellent diving conditions. From December through May, warmer seas and calmer weather create ideal conditions for snorkeling and land excursions.

There is no wrong time to visit, only different highlights throughout the year.
