G Adventures has added a fifth yacht to its fleet of chartered vessels for the Galapagos Islands.
Beginning in January 2019, the 16-passenger Eden yacht will join the operator?s four other touring vessels in hosting small group, sea-based trips around the 20 major and smaller Galapagos Islands.
With six different itineraries around the North, Central, West, East, and Southern islands, ranging from seven to 17 days in length, Eden will enable the brand to meet the increasing traveller demand it?s seeing for Galapagos adventures: between 2016 and 2017, the company reports a 22% increase in global bookings for its marine-based tours through the Galapagos and all of its yacht departures were fully sold between August 2017 through to July 2018.
Eden offers three upper deck, twin-share cabins with bunk beds, one main deck double bed cabin, and four lower deck twin-share cabins, along with a two-level, wrap around deck with outdoor lounge area and sundeck.
The yacht will also house nine crew members, including a chef and expert naturalist. Built in 1996 and refurbished in 2012, the company plans to move the Eden into drydock this Autumn for further upgrades and ?G? branding but is available for booking now.
Brian Young, the company?s managing director, said: ?We are continuing to see increased demand from our travellers looking to experience the Galapagos Islands and the addition of the Eden marks an exciting development for us to be able to meet this demand. The wildlife, natural beauty and our offer of complimentary flights between Lima and Quito, makes the archipelago an attractive destination for travellers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience.?
