Monserrat

0 1 2 3 4 5

A great value option for exploring the archipelago in a lovely small ship with excellent service and comfort

The Monserrat is a 28m motor yacht with a speed of 12 knots. The vessel has a capacity for 20 passengers in ten air-conditioned cabins – 6 on the upper deck and 4 on the lower deck all with en-suite bathrooms. Interiors are modern yet simple and bright. There are 11 crew members including two naturalist guides, one of the best ratios in the archipelago.

Facilities include a dining area, lounge/bar with TV for presentations and relaxation plus two sundecks and an outdoor shaded area where you can enjoy alfresco dinning or simply to relax and admire the views as you sail around the islands.

What our clients say

We had a wonderful holiday to Quito and Galapagos with Journey Latin America. We just wish it had been longer!

We had a wonderful time… we thought the guides we had were among the best we have known anywhere; we went for the Galápagos and would admit to mainland Ecuador…

Highlight?: The trek up the Chimborazo with mountaineering legend will live with us forever!!
TT, Bolton Sep 2017
Most memorable experiences: Snorkelling with huge sea turtles and iguanas whilst they were feeding with sea lions, penguins and flightless cormorants also coming to join in the party.

Everyone was very concious of preserving water and not littering - it seems part of everyday life in Ecuador

Highlight?: The Napo Lodge experience. It exceeded our expectations and we were very lucky to have dry weather.
