PASSION YACHT
The Passion Yacht is a luxury vessel based in the wildlife haven of the Galapagos Islands.
Originally built as a private luxury yacht, the M/Y Passion Yacht has been completely refurbished while still retaining many of its original elegant features such as its rose coloured marble bathrooms and teak wood decks that make the vessel one of a kind. The yacht, originally named Bellisima (beautiful in Italian) has never been used for tourism before. She measures 159 feet (48.5 metres), and has four decks, boasting an exceptional amount of space for its 12 passengers.
All six cabins on board are fully air-conditioned and incredibly spacious. Each of the four ample state cabins has its own private bathroom, and additionally the two VIP cabins not only feature two en-suite bathrooms but also a private lounge area. The ratio of one staff member per guest ensures first class service on board and the finest gourmet cuisine is served throughout the cruise.
The public areas offer many opportunities for relaxing and viewing the surroundings with a panoramic sky lounge, dining room and sun deck with Jacuzzi and loungers. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can all be served al fresco if the weather permits and the chef produces delicious, gourmet cuisine.
It’s a fabulous small yacht, perfect for a luxury holiday to the Galapagos.
