M/S Cachalote

M/S Cachalote.

The Cachalote is a beautiful schooner, about 90 feet in length, totally reconstructed in 2002. Its 3 decks offer complete comfort and service for your cruise to the Galapagos. It has 7 cabins on the lower deck equipped with double beds or berths and a cabin with double bed on the main deck. All have private bathrooms, hot water, air conditioning and plenty of storage space; offering the comfort you well deserve during the journey through the archipelago. On the main deck, the dining area is ingeniously designed for everyone to maintain visual contact thus allowing all to share their experiences while enjoying their wonderful dinner aboard. Adjacent to the salon-bar, there is a spacious and comfortable area conducive to conversation.
