Galapagos Island Tours & Travel | MISTRAL

Mistral The seventy-four foot Mistral was originally built by Vanderhoeven Yachts of Holland. Fully equipped for diving, this boat is ideal for naturalists and divers who prefer the coziness of a smaller boat. It is also an excellent choice for group charters. Its six cabins with upper and lower berths, hot showers, and private baths accommodate up to twelve passengers. Tastefully decorated, the interior is spacious and comfortable, with amenities such as a TV, VCR, and full sound system. Meals can be enjoyed in either the bright, welcoming main salon or "al fresco" on the aft deck. The sundeck has plenty of space for sunning, napping, or preparing for a dive, whatever your pleasure.
