You already have a vision for your Galapagos bucket-list trip, filled with crystal-clear waters, exotic creatures, delicious Ecuadorian bites, and the perfect balance of activity and relaxation. Imagine all of that—without the crowds.

Your dream trip doesn’t have to be a distant scene any longer. The Evolution Yacht gets you up close and personal to the wildlife you’re seeking, while delivering an unparalleled onboard experience of spacious privacy and luxury. When you explore the Galapagos Islands on a safari-style yacht, it’s everything you hope it will be—but better, because our small-group approach makes Darwin’s paradise your own.

Learn from Quasar’s top Naturalist Guides as you cruise the islands the way they were meant to be enjoyed: as a natural wonder, not just a sightseeing destination.

Who Is the Evolution For? You.
A YACHT DESIGNED FOR MEMORY-MAKERS

Aboard the Evolution, you’ll find wonder-seekers and wildlife-lovers like you who want to travel the non-touristy way. (Don’t be surprised if they become lifetime friends.)

On the Evolution Yacht, you can expect more from sea to shore. Think: more space, more comfort, more friendship. Every aspect is designed to make sure your Galapagos journey exceeds expectations—even the nourishing cuisine is carefully crafted to fuel your adventure. Think of the Evolution luxury Yacht as a floating 5-star hotel, where every detail (down to the Ecuadorian coffee) helps you get the most out of Galapagos. With our family-style service, you’re free to sip, savor, and relax.

Snorkeling with a thousand dolphins. Tracking giant tortoises in the wild. Kayaking alongside Galapagos penguins. A typical day you can look forward to on a safari-style yacht adventure. It’s a trip you’ll want to take again and again.
