Two of the best-known diving
yachts in the Galapagos Islands
are the M/Y
Mistraland
M/S Lammer
Law.
Both yachts are especially equipped
for diving cruises and there is no additional charge for diving.
In addition to the M/Y
Mistral and M/S
Lammer Law, Galapagos Tours and
Cruises also offers the following diving yachts: Nortada, Flamingo,
Letty, Coral, Delfin and others.
The spacious M/S Lammer
Law offers comfort for both the naturalist and the
dive enthusiast. She is one of the two yachts in our
fleet fully equipped for diving. The Lammer Law is
a stable motor sailer trimaran and has a cruising speed
of 10 knots. The yacht's 9 very spacious cabins for
18 passengers have an abundance of storage room. Beds
may be arranged either as doubles or singles. Each cabin
has private facilities with hot and cold fresh water
showers.
The main salon is large,
and is complimented with a bar, cozy sofas and an elegant
entertainment center housing the TV, VCR, and stereo.
Each evening, the passengers gather here for a briefing
on the next day's activities, to watch a film, enjoy
their favorite beverage at the bar, or just relax. All
meals are served outside and the dining room is located
at the stern of the yacht. The Lammer Law's Sun
Deck is marvelous as it practically consists of the
entire exterior of the ship. Slightly aft of the main
deck is the cockpit where the captain will hoist the
sails and teach the passengers about navigation. The
yacht is an artful combination of stability, grace and
speed, a perfect partner for any Galapagos adventure!
