Guest accommodation consists of 6 air-conditioned double cabins (for 12 passengers) each with ensuite hot water shower and toilet. Beagle is irresistible with undeniable charm and beauty under sail. Comfortable spacious accommodations, yacht maintenance and safety equipment that meet the highest standards, ample open and shaded deck space, delicious Ecuadorian and international cuisine served in the salon or on deck, and good personal service on board by a superbly-trained crew and guide.
The Beagle is named after HMS Beagle, in which Charles Darwin made his famous voyage to the Galapagos Islands, and later wrote his theory of evolution based on his findings in this extraordinary archipelago.
A magnificent 105-foot twin screw steel-hulled brigantine with teak decks and beautifully designed interiors, The Beagle is in a class by itself among sailing yachts in the Galapagos. She was built by Cubow Ltd. in Woolwich, England, in the 1970’s and registered with Lloyd’s (number Y 195095), but her designer is unknown. She’s been a charter vessel in the Islands for over a decade and has been substantially refurbished under her current ownership.
