The Galapagos Islands may well be the world's most unique charter area. These storied islands, synonomous with Darwin, evolution and unique bird and animal species, are a charterer's dream because each island is more interesting than the one before it, and can only be reached by boat.
The Galapagos are a remote province of Ecuador located 500 miles (800 km) west of the Ecuadorian coast lying directly on the equator. Known as Darwin's "enchanted islands", the Galapagos offer enthralling marine life, with a huge variety of ocean fish and glorious seascapes for divers and snorkellers to explore, while ashore on the rugged volcanic terrain the combination of exotic birds, spectacular mammals and fascinating reptiles living unencumbered in their natural habitat sets Galapagos apart.
Evolutionary marvels such as Darwin's finches, iguanas, and flightless cormorants, a dazzling assortment of species from penguins and fur seals to flamingos and tropical fish, giant tortoises, albatrosses, sea turtles, dolphins whales and rays abound here, thriving among some of the last unspoiled habitats on earth.
As the islands lie directly on the Equator, you can expect it to be warm for most of the year – meaning that any time is a good time for a yacht charter in the Galapagos Islands!
During the "hot" season with it's frequent afternoon rain showers the islands are generally much greener and the land birds most active. Plus, the ocean temperature is warmer for swimming and snorkeling. During the "cool" season the land birds and sea mammals are most active - the best time for observing courtship displays amongst sea birds. Regardless of the time of year you visit the islands, the wildlife activity is always absolutely mesmerising!
Chartering on these islands generally involves setting out on a week or more journey to experience the species that are indigenous to each island. Your yacht charter will include a naturalist, who will guide you through the marvels of nature as you cruise peacefully between the islands. You are certain to experience the most incredible wildlife, food, weather and lifelong memories of one of the most amazing places on earth.
