Facilities & Accommodation

Introducing the Integrity, a 141 ft. luxury yacht customized to carry 16 adventurers in comfort, safety and style. Integrity has been cruising in the Galápagos waters since April, 2005.

Built in the USA, the Integrity conforms to exacting standards for luxury Galápagos cruising. All systems including engines, transmissions, stabilizers, electronics, water filtration and sterilization are new, as are the interior decorations and furnishings.

All staterooms are on the main deck and are lower twin, queen or king-bedded. There is a 350 sq. ft. king-bedded owner’s suite and one single stateroom. Each stateroom has large picture windows, individual climate control, satellite telephone, a stocked refrigerator, and an entertainment center with CD/DVD and LCD monitor. Bathroom facilities are en suite with a full-size shower, lavatory and toilet.

The comfortable salon is bathed in natural light, perfect for reading or listening to lectures on Galápagos natural history, geology and what you'll encounter tomorrow.

A wide-screen media center is hidden behind the painting of undersea life and is available for viewing your day's images as well as your guide's informative presentations.

Meals are served at four tables of six settings, not far from a galley designed for gourmet chefs.
On the partially covered top deck, you'll find a spa, bar, barbecue and comfortable chaise lounges. It´s a place to relax, enjoy a beverage or snooze in the gentle breezes.
With its huge state-of-the-art stabilizers and engine vibration control system, the Integrity will carry you through Darwin's Islands more smoothly than any other yacht. You'll enjoy peerless comfort as you tuck into your spacious, smartly decorated cabin or relax in the sun and watch the frigates soar overhead!

Staterooms

Your stay on Integrity will be in the most comfortable staterooms or suite of any vessel in the Enchanted Islands, big ship or small. Simple and tasteful, the decor features hardwood that owner Rolf Sievers hand harvested, milled and cured, saving it for years for this special yacht.

Each stateroom is for two persons (#2 is a single stateroom), has large picture windows (no tiny portholes!), comfortable seating and lots of storage. Climate is individually controlled. A mini-refrigerator is stocked with water and snacks. The entertainment center, with CD/DVD and LCD monitor, is a music center and a place to review your day's video, digital images or play a DVD from the yacht's library. Bathroom facilities are en suite with a full-sized shower, lavatory, toilet and storage cabinet.

Double Stateroom

Integrity has six 150 sq. ft. double staterooms that can be configured with either two twin beds or one king bed. Each is decorated with orginal paintings of Galápagos scenes.

At night, soft overhead lighting and individual reading lamps create a soothing ambiance.

Queen-bedded Double

The Integrity has one queen-bedded stateroom, #9. It has all amenities including ample storage and seating, picture windows, entertainment center and private facilities.

Single

The Integrity has one single stateroom, #2, with two picture windows, writing table, entertainment center, mini-bar and private facilities.

Suite

The King-bedded, 350 sq. ft. suite spans the Cabin Deck from port to starboard. Picture windows on both sides provide abundant natural light and unobstructed views of the Islands and wildlife.
