BUILT TO EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARDS
Named after one of the archipelago’s islands, the 209-foot expedition yacht La Pinta has been built to extremely high standards. She combines the space and sophistication of a larger ship with the intimacy and personal service of a small vessel, providing discerning travellers the ultimate expedition adventure.
La Pinta carries 48 passengers in spacious deluxe outside-facing cabins, each with air-conditioning and en-suite facilities. All cabins are on the same deck and some cabins can be interconnected for the convenience of families. There are 20 ‘luxury’ cabins, which are 16.4m2 and 4 ‘luxury plus’ cabins, which are slightly larger at 23m2 and have the addition of a sitting area and sofa.
Facilities on board include a saloon/bar, well-stocked library, infirmary, shop, dining room, spacious deck areas and a balcony lookout area – an ideal spot for the captain’s call of ‘whale!’
Four naturalist guides lead daily activities, which vary from snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, zodiac and glass-bottom boat trips and island excursions.
