The Yacht

'Galapagos Tribute' is a Motor Yacht, accommodating up to 16 guests, available for crewed charter with a home base in Baltra, Galápagos, Ecuador.

Galapagos Tribute Description and Charter Summary Information

Galapagos Tribute is the top of Oniric's Galápagos fleet — a 42-meter steel expedition yacht refitted in 2024, carrying 16 guests in eight ensuite suites with a crew of 13 and two naturalist guides. That two-guide setup means a 1:8 ratio ashore, half the group size most Galápagos boats put behind a single guide.

Accommodation runs from Ocean Vista and Panorama suites up to two Premium suites and a full Owner's suite. Aboard, there's a jacuzzi, a solarium, an open bar with the house wine and beer included, and wifi — genuinely rare on a National Park expedition boat.

This is an expedition cruise, not a free-roaming charter. She runs fixed 4- and 6-night routes through the National Park with guided landings and snorkeling twice daily. Book her whole for a family or a group of friends and you get the boat, the crew and the guides to yourselves — with none of the fixed-departure compromise of sharing with strangers.

Yacht Information

From the Logbook

Our take: Galapagos Tribute

Tribute is the best boat we can put a group on in the Galápagos. The number that matters is two naturalist guides for sixteen guests — most boats in the islands run one guide for the whole manifest, and the difference shows on every landing. Add a 2024 refit, eight ensuite suites, a jacuzzi and included wine and beer, and she's the only Galápagos yacht we list that feels like a proper luxury charter rather than an expedition boat you tolerate for the wildlife. Take her whole for 16 and the fixed departure stops mattering — it's your boat, your crew, your guides.
