Integrity Yacht
Off the coast of the Galapagos Islands, the Integrity lies at anchor, a 43-meter-long yacht that at first glance looks like a small boutique hotel that has been pulled onto the water. Its stabilizers are among the most powerful in the fleet and keep the ship steady even in rough seas – no swaying, no crashing, just the smooth gliding through turquoise waters. It is built and operated by one of the oldest families in the archipelago, who have lived here for generations. On board, a sun deck with hot tub, a small library, and panoramic windows await, through which frigatebirds and passing islands sit right in the salon. In the nine cabins, you will find a tranquility like you know it only on land.
While the Integrity glides almost silently from island to island, experienced, bilingual naturalists accompany you on your daily excursions. The eight-day eastern route takes you to rare waved albatrosses on Española, while the western route allows you to snorkel with penguins near the volcanoes of Isabela and Fernandina.

Cabins
The cabins of the Integrity Yacht have been designed with the aim of transferring the comfort of an exclusive boutique hotel onto the water. With only nine spacious guest cabins – including a luxurious Owner's Suite – the ship offers the highest level of privacy. Instead of typical small portholes, each cabin features large panoramic windows that provide views far over the Pacific and fill the rooms with natural light. Each accommodation is equipped with comfortable king or twin beds, an elegant private bathroom, and individually controllable air conditioning to guarantee a completely carefree and cool retreat after daily expeditions.
Culinary
Fresh flavors from the region and international fine dining style shape the moments of enjoyment on board. The chef creates daily tailored menus that refine freshly caught fish from the archipelago's waters and top-quality local ingredients. The creations are optionally served in the salon or in a completely relaxed al fresco setting on the sun deck, accompanied by the sounds of the Pacific. Each meal is tailored to your personal preferences, complemented by a fine selection of wines. Even the morning coffee bears the mark of the region – freshly brewed from organic farming from the highlands of the Galapagos Islands for the perfect start to the day.
Activities
The untouched wilderness of the Galapagos Islands can be experienced every day from new perspectives. Tailored land excursions and hikes lead, accompanied by experienced naturalists, directly to the rare species of the archipelago. For explorations on the water, top-notch kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are ready, allowing for relaxed discovery along the volcanic cliffs. The fascinating underwater world opens up during daily snorkeling, with high-quality wetsuits and the appropriate equipment already prepared on board for each guest. After the expeditions, the spacious sun deck provides the perfect balance: An inviting jacuzzi, an open-air bar, and comfortable loungers offer space to quietly reflect on the day's experiences above the Pacific.
Location
Your journey begins at Baltra or San Cristóbal airport, from where a transfer takes you directly on board the Integrity Yacht. From there, the yacht sails through the eastern or western part of the archipelago – past islands like Española, Genovesa, Isabela, or Fernandina, right in the UNESCO World Heritage of the Pacific.
