Origin, Evolve, and Theory
Exceptional Yachting Expeditions in the Galápagos
With every detail meticulously designed, your experience onboard Origin, Theory and Evolve will have enhanced luxury, while maintaining eco-consciousness. A beautiful blend of sustainability and comfort, these identical sister ships boast effortless luxury.
With the best guest-to-guide ratio in the Galápagos, these luxury expedition yachts offer both genuine immersion and a safe enjoyable journey. Origin, Theory, and Evolve are purpose‑built vessels designed for exceptionally smooth sailing. Thanks to their advanced stabilising fins and wave‑piercing bows, they glide through the water at speeds of up to 14 knots, giving you more precious time to explore the Galápagos Islands.
Accommodating only 20 guests, the experience feels intimate and exclusive, while the state‑of‑the‑art ship design ensures exceptional comfort throughout. Every stateroom features oceanfront views, the inviting interior lounges set the scene for relaxed evening gatherings, and the expansive sundeck offers uninterrupted moments of serenity.
