The 16-passenger S/S Mary Anne is an elegant first-class vessel that flaunts her sails over open waters, escorting visitors throughout the Galapagos Archipelago in comfort and style, without compromising the pleasures of life at sea.

 

Mary Anne's speedy and elegant design sails the Galapagos Islands with the elegance of legendary Square rigger tradition. With almost 1000 square meters of sail and her slim rump, she is a fast sailing yacht, perfect for exploring the Galapagos up close. Guests explore the nature and wildlife of the Galapagos Islands in the company of certified naturalist guides. Enjoy cruising with the informal atmosphere and genuine windjammer sailing experience.

 

She can accommodate up to 16 passengers in 12 double, tastefully furnished cabins. This elegant barquetine sailing vessel was launched in 1997 and renovated in 2006.  There is a wood-trimmed lounge and bar area and sundeck with seats above.  The spacious sun deck is perfect for relaxing and watching wildlife. Ample deck space encourages guests to relax and take in the sights, and the Mary Anne carries kayaks and landing craft for up-close explorations of the Galapagos Islands.

 
Get the most out of expert guides, spend  quality time with the captain and crew, who will be delighted to tour the bridge  and share secrets of ocean travel with you. The Mary Anne offers introductory orientation on the principles of sailing, providing you with a jump-start into this fascinating tradition. Learn about naval knots and how to tie them; hoist the sails and capture the wind. Join  a cooking extravaganza with top chefs or enjoy fantastic island legends in the words of true “Galapagueños.” Stargazing under sail, amid the largest ocean on planet Earth, offers the ideal opportunity to learn and experience the constellations from the seafarers who read them every night.

Enjoy served-dish meals aboard Mary Anne; vegetarian diets can be accommodated. Water, coffee and tea are served, as are drinks from two bar areas.

 

As is true for most sailboats, cabins aboard the S/S Mary Anne are smaller and most have bunk beds.  Mary Anne can accommodate up to 16 passengers in 12 double, tastefully furnished cabins. All cabins have private bathrooms with hot water, closets, porthole windows and all are designed with one double lower berth and a single upper berth. Two cabins (#9 and 10) are designed as double cabins with only a lower double bed and no upper berth.
