About Beagle

  • Close Panel 

Beagle is a 32 metre steel-hulled motor schooner with classic lines and polished teak decks. She was built in London in 1971 and is named after HMS Beagle, the vessel in which Charles Darwin sailed to the Galapagos Islands. She is powered by twin Gardner engines to give an average cruising speed of 9 knots.

There 6 double cabins, with lower double and upper single berth, so ample room. There is also a smaller double cabin, which is offered for single use. All cabins are air-conditioned, have windows and have en suite bathrooms.

There is ample open and shaded space on deck, plus a large table where al fresco meals are taken. The interior is well-furnished and includes a comfortable salon. There are 2 small boats with outboards as well as 2 double kayaks.

Pricing guidelines for Galapagos Islands

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights to Quito or Guayaquil will add from about £750 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). You will also need internal flights from the mainland to the islands which cost about £275 to £350. A Galapagos National Park tax is payable on arrival - currently $100. A few yachts also offer shorter or longer cruises. Charter cruises are also available. Please ask for details.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
