Galapagos Islands

Will my boat move enough to cause me any discomfort?

<4/15>

Perception:

I’ve done a great deal of sailing in calm harbours, so I guess in the tropical waters of Galapagos my boat won’t move enough to cause me any discomfort?

Reality:

Stability can make all of the difference for an enjoyable cruise vacation and it is a strong feature of an expedition vessel. Contrary to common assumption, tropical waters are not always calm and an expedition vessel, by its very nature, reduces movement at sea. Single-guided boats often face interesting challenges when sailing between islands.

TRAVEL EXPERT TIP:
Ask what kind of ship will be the most comfortable for you.
