With the Eclipse we introduce a new level of comfort and elegance to the Galapagos trips and offer Quasar Nautica's high quality product to incentive / motivation trip planners. She is a 210 ft. L.O.A. Cruise Ship that accommodates up to 48 passengers in 27 cabins, half the number of passengers of vessels her size in Galapagos. Construction started in the second half of the eighties, but was not completed. The vessel was finished by us in 1999 to ,July 1998 SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) specifications. Starting in October 1999, Eclipse has been available for one week FIT departures as well as for charters.

   This vessel preserves the smaller boat atmosphere and attention to detail we pride ourselves in having on all our boats, with features such as an "al fresco" dining area for all 48 passengers, a naturalist guide for every 12 passengers and a library / video room. Additionally, the yacht has amenities such as a warm pool , a pool side bar, a souvenir shop, an observation deck and an air-renewal system. The yacht has an infirmary with a M. D. on board at all times.

   Extremely comfortable and attractive, with sober decoration, rich Seike furnishings, writing desks, large closets, ocean-view windows or portholes, Eclipse's staterooms are among the largest of any vessel in Galapagos. They have either a queen or a two-twin bed arrangement, and are equipped with an air-conditioning unit and internal communication phones.
