Previously a private, luxury family owned yacht which had never been used before for tourists, the Passion was brought to Galapagos in 2015 by Andando Tours, a local company with a great reputation for quality of service, friendly helpful crews, great food and first-class naturalist guides. The crew-to-guest ratio is more than 1:1 so provides an excellent level of service. The yacht, which is very spacious and spread over 4 decks (with 7 state cabins for 12 guests) also has kayaks on board which can be used in certain sites whilst other guests are snorkelling. This yacht boasts excellent itineraries. Its small guest capacity makes this a superb option for private charters, as well as for individual guests.
