The M/Y Passion is a yacht sailing in the Galapagos Islands, offering kayaking and snorkeling options plus various well-appointed social areas.
A vessel of great character, the M/Y Passion offers her 14 Galapagos Island guests a sense of refinement and exclusivity while providing all the modern passenger comforts. Originally built in 1989 as a private classic yacht, she has been refurbished to enhance her onboard experience for individual travelers, small groups and charters.
Choose the Passion for her low guest-to-guide ratio and for a luxurious Galapagos experience. Passion is revered for her open spaces, offering four decks for only 14 guests and at least one bathtub in nearly every cabin. She also is unconventional in that she is solidly built of marine steel instead of the more common fiberglass and has two electronic stabilizers that keep her a comfortable and safe option for Galapagos travelers.
