Diamante is a 112 ft. / 34 meter brigantine
schooner motor sailer, a modern scaled down version of the great
naval training ships, capable of a cruising speed of 9 knots.
She is the perfect option for small groups or families who seek a
more personalized experience.
Passengers will enjoy
the beauty of the motor-sailing yacht for 12 passengers in six
double cabins with private facilities: one cabin with two berths,
two cabins with upper/lower berths and three cabins with double
lower and single upper berths. All cabins are air-conditioned and
have en-suite bathrooms with hot-water showers.
Diamante has a bright and
airy deck house where the main salon / dining room is located.
The beamed main salon is decorated with beautiful mahogany and teak wood
and offers 360 degrees visibility. It is also possible to dine outside,
around the teak table aft of the pilot house. There are expansive deck
areas, perfect for resting and being in the open-air.
"This has been our second tour to
the Galapagos Islands. Once again, Inti Travel came
thru with all of our travel needs to the Galapagos in an
efficient and timely manner. We would highly recommend Inti
Travel and Tours. An agent met us at the Quito Airport
to see us off and help us with check-in. The Diamante boat
and crew were great. The food was always presented in
a very pleasant and artistic arrangement and was very
appetizing. The cabins were small but very efficiently
laid out and comfortable. We never felt rushed while on the islands
and were given plenty of opportunity to go snorkeling and
kayaking which added to the enjoyment of the tour. Sylvana,
our naturalist was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her
company." - Marianne Kennel, USA
