Galapagos Island Tours & Travel | PARRANDA

Parranda Made in the USA, the 125-foot Parranda is one of the most elegant and comfortable yachts in the Galapagos. Outfitted with a stabilizer system, this yacht sails the seas smoothly and quickly, taking you to your island destinations in perfect time. Eight cabins, equipped with full amenities, spaciously accommodate up to sixteen passengers. The salon is spacious and comfortable, with large windows overlooking the incredible Galapagos seas. It's the ideal location for daily briefings with our naturalist guide. Dining is outside, under a partially enclosed canopy. The sundeck offers lounge chairs under a canopied roof, allowing you to watch the sunrise or sunset in comfort. Traveling the Galapagos Islands aboard the Parranda is an unforgettable experience.
