Brand new superyacht ELITE opens for charter in the Galapagos Islands

By Rebecca Bradbury 3 January 2019

The 36m/123ft luxury yacht ELITE will be one of the most luxurious charter yachts cruising in the Galapagos Islands when she hits the water this summer.

Chic deck areas, stylish interiors and state-of-the-art amenities make ELITE a fine addition to the charter market and you can be among the first on board later in the year when she heads to the Galapagos Islands – one of the most spectacular wildlife-watching destinations in the world.

The remote island-chain is the place that provided inspiration for Charles Darwin’s ground-breaking theory of natural selection, and charterers following in his footsteps will come face to face with breath-taking animals at every turn, from blue-footed boobies and penguins to giant tortoises and sea lions.

Located 620 miles off the coast of Ecuador in South America, the destination is made up of more than a hundred islands and islets, making the destination ideal to explore on a luxury yacht charter.

Views of lava formations, cactus forests, lush green highlands, azure bays and white-sand beaches can all be taken in from the spacious deck areas aboard charter yacht ELITE, no matter whether relaxing in the sun, dining on delicious gourmet delights or socialising with friends and family.

A top daytime hangout on any charter vacation is sure to be sundeck. Here, guests can unwind in the spa pool, lounge on sun pads, dine al fresco with the entire party and sip cocktails at the back-lit bar.

Opportunities for winding down and socialising continue into the interior of the motor yacht, where whitewashed floorboards underfoot and large windows break down the boundaries between indoors and out. The look is light, fresh and modern, putting all who enter immediately at ease.

In the main salon, sumptuous white sofas form a comfortable place to put your feet up or spend precious time with loved ones with a drink in hand. Refreshments can also be served at the bar which faces a dining area capable of seating up to 16 guests over a formal dinner cooked by the expert on-board chef.

Up to 12 guests can be accommodated in eight cabins, including four double cabins and four twin cabins. It’s even possible to undertake your yacht charter with a naturalist guide, who will lead excursions such as hiking, snorkelling and kayaking throughout the unparalleled destination.
