Motor Sailor Alta
Galapagos Travel - Motor Sailor Alta - 8 Day Cruise - Galapagos Last Minute

important information
- Departure Days:
- 8 days: Saturday
Very few feelings compare to that of a ship sailing through the water, with engines turned off and nothing but the sound of the wind hitting the sails and the hull breaking the water.
Alta is one of the few ships in Galapagos that can deliver this feeling. Named “Yacht of the Month” in the past by
Yachting Magazine, it is one of the most beautiful ships on the islands, ideal for travelers seeking exclusivity, style and uniqueness. The ship is exceptionally stylish, with gorgeous detailing and furnishings and carries that grandeur and special charm that only sailing ships carry. When the conditions are appropriate, the sails will be hoisted, engines turned off and Alta will become one the most striking ships in the Galapagos.
