The 16-passenger Aida Maria offers a great combination of comfort and style without sacrificing the savings account! Each of the eight air-conditioned double cabins has a private bathroom with a hot and cold water shower. On board, there is a spacious deck to enjoy the sunny Galapagos days. An experienced naturalist guide will lead all of your land excursions, which are well organized into four, five, or eight-day itineraries. The Aida Maria offers a great value and a reasonable price.

The Aida Maria yacht is a classic Standard Gringo boat, combining comfort, good service, and economical prices. The perfect Galapagos budget tour option!

One of very few yachts completely made by hand at the Galapagos Islands, constructed with timber from local farms. The yacht owners have been running tours in Galapagos since the 1960's, but the family has its roots in Galapagos since the late 1930's, making the Aida Maria one of the most traditional Galapagos yachts.
