FAQs about Galapagos: Can I customize the itinerary on a private Galapagos charter?

Yes, Voyagers Travel can help arrange your domestic flights to the Galápagos from either Quito's Mariscal Sucre Airport or Guayaquil's José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport, as well as mainland hotel stays. Flights are priced separately, typically costing $450–$550, and can be arranged together with your charter booking.

No, bareboat charters are not permitted in the Galápagos National Park. By law, every vessel must have a licensed captain and professional crew on board, along with at least one certified naturalist guide for every 16 passengers.

Travel insurance is strongly recommended for any Galápagos charter, given the islands' remote location and the high cost of a private trip.

Soft drinks are included in the package, but if you have any special request about drinks in your chartering cruise we could make the arrangements to provide the service. Our different options include open bar packages with both Call and Premium liquors.

Galápagos yacht charters can accommodate anywhere from around 4 to 100 guests, depending on the vessel. Smaller yachts and catamarans typically carry around 16 guests, offering a more intimate experience, while larger expedition vessels can accommodate up to 98–100 guests for bigger groups.

You can visit the Galapagos year round, but the best time to visit may depend on your personal preferences. If you prefer activities related to relaxing and enjoying the sun along the beach, the warm season (December to May) is for you. But if you are a wildlife enthusiast and want to experience all the biodiversity of the islands, the cold season (June-November) is the best option.
