Mary Anne Motor Sailor

General Information

M/S Mary Anne

We think the Mary Anne is one of the most beautiful ships cruising the Galapagos Islands. For sailing enthusiasts, there are nearly 1000 square meters of canvas in her sails. She accommodates 16 passengers in double cabins, with plenty of deck space for relaxing and enjoying the islands. Constructed in 1997, this ship was specifically designed and built for environmentally friendly travel. This is an exceptionally spacious and comfortable yacht operating excellent itineraries, making the Mary Anne a great option for your Galapagos cruise.

Ideal for single travelers: The Mary Anne has sufficient cabins to accommodate single travelers in private cabins without a single supplement.

The Mary Anne is owned and operated by a family company whose owners came to the Galapagos in the 1930’s. The owners have a serious commitment to sustainability in the Galapagos, not only working to minimize the ecological impact of their own yachts but contributing to various development and recycling projects on the islands as well.

Mary Anne Itinerary

Itinerary

Galapagos yachts all operate on a 14 day (2 week) circuit. This circuit is broken into shorter itineraries which can be combined; depending on the yacht, cruises can be as short as 4 days and as long as 15 days.

Starting or ending days are highlighted in the 15 day itinerary (day 1 and day 15 have the same activities); passengers arriving on these days will do the afternoon activity and passengers departing on these days will do the morning activity.

The Mary Anne offers 2 itineraries of 8 days; itineraries can be combined to form a complete circuit of 15 days. One 8 day itinerary includes the western islands of the Galapagos, including Isabela and Fernandina, and the other visits the southern and eastern portion of the islands.

All itineraries listed below are subject to change or modification due to park regulations, airport restrictions, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of Eos or the yacht operators. They are listed as a service to provide general information as to which places in the Galapagos are typically visited by each yacht cruise.
