Overview

Built in 1990 as a 20 passenger first class motor-yacht, the M/Y Letty was designed exclusively for Galapagos excursions. Eighty-three-feet long with 24-foot beams, the yachts offer spacious accommodations for small groups and provides the advantage of having even smaller groups while in the islands due to the fact that we have on board two of Natural Habitat Adventures' certified Galapagos naturalist guides enabling each Expedition Leader to host a small group of a maximum of 10 guests.

The interior is designed in polished teak wood and picture windows surround the upper two decks offering spectacular panoramic views of the sea and landscape. Enjoy ocean breezes on sun-deck lounge chairs and at observation points. Snorkeling equipment, wet suits, sea kayaks (with glass bottoms for observing marine life), and beach towels are provided at no additional charge. Accommodations include ten cabins located on three decks, each with a large private bathroom and a fresh, hot-and-cold-water shower. Either two twin lower beds or one double bed, a roomy closet, drawers, overhead storage, separate climate controls, intercom system, bottled water, hair dryer, toiletries, and fresh towels grace the inside of each cabin. This is one of the few ships in the islands that can accommodate triples for families who wish to stay together.

The M/Y Letty offers 7 cabins with twin beds (2 of these cabins can accommodate triples) and 3 cabins with double beds. All cabins have private facilities and either windows or portholes.
