Designed with sustainability in mind – Solar panels and advanced lithium battery systems reduce fuel consumption, emissions and engine noise, helping protect this fragile ecosystem.
Light-filled contemporary interiors – Floor-to-ceiling windows, natural materials and elegant communal spaces create a bright, boutique hotel feel throughout the yacht.
Spacious outdoor living – Three generous decks, a Jacuzzi, shaded lounge areas and panoramic observation spaces make wildlife watching just as enjoyable onboard as ashore.
Explore beyond the shoreline – Snorkelling equipment, kayaks and paddleboards are all included, offering even more ways to experience the Galápagos.

Good to know

How to get there

Monique departs from either Baltra or San Cristóbal, depending on your chosen itinerary. After your flight from mainland Ecuador, you’ll be met by the crew and transferred directly to the yacht for embarkation.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Monique welcomes children aged six and above and is an excellent choice for families looking for a modern, comfortable expedition experience. Private charters are also available.

Giving back

Monique was designed with sustainability at its heart. Solar panels and advanced lithium battery technology reduce fuel consumption, emissions and engine noise, creating a quieter and more environmentally responsible way to explore the Galápagos.

Operations follow the strict regulations of the Galápagos National Park, with careful waste management, reduced single-use plastics and responsible wildlife viewing. Small guest numbers and expertly guided excursions ensure every voyage leaves as little impact as possible while supporting the long-term conservation of the archipelago.

Why we love Monique

Most Galápagos yachts evolve over time. Monique was designed from the ground up for modern expedition cruising. The huge windows, bright contemporary interiors and remarkably quiet hybrid technology create an atmosphere unlike any other yacht in the islands.
