Choose the Galapagos Angel for an approachable yacht experience of the Galapagos Islands. The ship has an excellent guest-to-crew ratio, with 10 crew members to 16 guests creating an intimate and service-oriented experience. And notably, the Galapagos Angel is a part of a sustainably minded company that operates 100% carbon neutral cruises. For each passenger aboard the Angel, they offset 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide, protect 1 shark, collect 8 pounds of trash and train 2 kids in sustainability.
