AQUA Expeditions will enter the Galapagos Islands this coming May with Aqua Mare (pictured), the archipelago’s first superyacht.
The fifth vessel in the Aqua fleet, Mare will sail with 16 crew members to ensure a one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, as well as two naturalists.
Mare will offer seven suites of a minimum of 20m2 each, and a 80m2 Owner’s suite, which itself features a 20m2 bathroom.
The ship will offer a choice of two seven-night itineraries exploring the Galapagos, as well as two 14-night voyages for the archipelago’s ultimate bucket-list adventure.
Designed and built by the world-renowned Italian CRN yard with custom interiors by Francois Zuretti, Mare boasts almost a third more indoor volume than similar yachts in her class.
Mare is spread over four decks, featuring shaded and open sun decks; a six-person jacuzzi; an outdoor barbecue area and a workout zone.
Multiple indoor and outdoor dining venues provide a variety of settings for either private meals or full-ship charters.
Two custom-made military-grade black rib tenders with central steering consoles ensure Mare’s twice-daily expeditions are capped at only eight guests.
The ship is also equipped with double kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear.
One of Mare’s highlights is her Beach Club, located at the aft of the lower deck, complete with a hydraulic-opening panoramic beam-to-beam window.
Rates on Mare start from USD$9,450 per person for a seven-night itinerary including all meals and beverages; local transfers to/from recommended flights; all excursions; Galapagos Park entrance fee; INGALA transit card; laundry service; and internet – CLICK HERE for more.
