S/S Sagitta

Dinning. Salon. Upper deck.

Operating since December 1999, this is one of the most comfortable yachts to cruise the Galapagos. Sagitta is a splendid 120 foot, 3-masted Tall Ship. Built in Sweden, she carries 16 passengers in ten air-conditioned cabins. All cabins are designed with one double lower and one single upper berth and private bathrooms. The most outstanding features of this vessel are her looks, her space, her versatility, safety and stability. Facilities on board include a library/video lecture-room, an upper-deck salon/bar with automatic soft drink dispenser and Draft beer container next to an ample living, a shaded "al-fresco" dining area aft and an ample upper deck for lounging, birding, watching dolphins off the bowsprit or stargazing. In the lower deck a large library- TV VCR room. Telephony communication en suite. Sagitta boasts five different, isolated public areas!
And last but not least, your crew! Gentle, amiable and very professional, they will assert themselves as those "that made the difference".
