Galapagos Island Tours & Travel | DIAMANTE

Diamante The one-hundred-and-twelve-foot Diamante is the perfect answer for the needs of a small-sized group or family-charter. The Diamante is an attractive brigantine schooner, a modern version of the great naval training ships. She first began sailing the Galapagos Islands in 1993. The boat accommodates up to twelve passengers in six double cabins, tastefully furnished with mahogany and teak paneling. All cabins have air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and hot water. A cozy yet ample saloon and dinette is a welcoming spot for reading, chatting, or attending the briefings and lectures given by your naturalist-guide. You may also opt to wine-and-dine topside on her spacious, sheltered upper-deck. The Diamante's sleek, elegant hull, stunning white sails, and top-notch service provide the natural ambience you'd expect from a perfect Galapagos Islands cruise.
