Good to know

How to get there

Most Tribute itineraries begin and end at either Baltra or San Cristóbal Airport. After your flight from mainland Ecuador, you’ll be met by the crew and transferred to the yacht, with embarkation taking just a short drive and Zodiac ride from the airport.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Tribute welcomes children aged six and above on most departures, making her a good choice for families with older children who enjoy wildlife, snorkelling and active exploration. Family charters are also available.

Giving back

Tribute operates under the strict environmental regulations of the Galápagos National Park, but the owners go significantly further. Their company has been carbon neutral since 2023, measuring and offsetting emissions across its fleet, offices and even guests’ flights through verified carbon offset programmes.

Since 2012, they have partnered with the Galápagos Conservation Trust, supporting projects that protect endangered sharks, restore giant tortoise populations and remove plastic pollution from the archipelago’s beaches. Every guest contributes to these initiatives, with each voyage helping to offset carbon emissions, fund marine conservation, support beach clean-ups and contribute to environmental education programmes.

They also prioritise local procurement wherever possible, work with local communities and support conservation and education initiatives across both the Galápagos Islands and mainland Ecuador, ensuring tourism delivers lasting benefits for both people and wildlife.

Why we love Tribute

Tribute has more deck space than almost any other 16-guest yacht in the Galápagos, with two Jacuzzis, multiple lounge areas and plenty of quiet corners to enjoy the scenery. Whether you’re watching dolphins from the bow or soaking under the stars after dinner, you’ll spend as much time outside as you do exploring ashore.
