Galapagos Cruises and Tours Mistral

The Mistral has ceased operations in the Galapagos until further notice. Please choose another one of our deluxe yachts!

Equipped to provide comfortable cruising, fine dining and attentive service, it offers a blend of spaciousness, comfort and elegance to make your journey to the Galapagos Islands a memorable experience.

Mistral was built by Vanderhoeven Yachts of Holland. She is a 22.5 meter (74 foot) motor yacht capable of a cruising speed of 10 knots. She is fully equipped for SCUBA diving and ideal for the naturalist or diver who prefers a smaller boat and intimate group.

Dining aboard the Mistral

Upper Deck Aft

Accommodations are in 6 cabins for a total of only 12 passengers. Each cabin has private facilities with fresh, hot and cold-water shower. The main salon is bright and has a warm welcoming atmosphere. Its ample windows give a great view of the magnificent Galapagos scenery. At mealtime there are two alternatives: inside in the salon and dining room, with tables for 8 and 4 guests respectively, or alfresco in the aft deck where all guests can sit together. The sundeck has plenty of space to be in the open air and for sunning and napping. It is also possible to go to the front of the boat and relax on the cushions on the bow.
