BUILT FOR EXPLORATION
‘La Pinta’ combines the amenities of a
first-class yacht with the skilled personnel
of an expedition vessel. At 207 feet long,
she carries just 48 guests in 24 spacious
cabins. That means more room to stretch
out. A small-group size also ensures better
service, with 28 crew members, three
Galápagos-certified naturalist guides and
an A&K Resident Tour Director at your
service throughout your voyage.

STYLISH YET CASUAL DINING
Dining on board is a stylish affair, with
menus featuring international cuisine and
celebrated Ecuadorian dishes. Aboard ‘La
Pinta,’ fine dining doesn’t mean formal.
You need not pack anything dressier than
smart-casual wear, and many meals may
be enjoyed al fresco in the Observation
Lounge & Bar.

STABLE & ECO-FRIENDLY
When not on shore expeditions, guests are
free to wander ‘La Pinta’s’ relaxed public
spaces, including the Outside Sky Bar on
the Boat Deck, perfect for a chat with your
guides. The ship itself is small enough to
nimbly navigate the Galápagos waters but
large enough to ensure the safety of guests.
