On board
Sixteen guests and two cabin layouts across the main and upper decks, on a catamaran built in 2017. The main-deck staterooms measure 22 m², those on the upper deck 18 m². Both take a matrimonial bed or twins, so the same room suits a couple or two friends travelling together.
Nine crew sail with sixteen guests, among them a cruise director and a bilingual naturalist guide. Between landings there is a jacuzzi on deck and a bar, and the kitchen plates Ecuadorian-international dishes after each excursion. Satellite Wi-Fi reaches the ship, but the connection comes and goes.
