About Our Company
Galagents is a cruise operator in the Galapagos Islands that offers tourist services aboard one of the most reliable cruise fleets, covering the luxury, first class and tourist superior categories. The company’s history began more than 10 years ago, with the vision of an entrepreneurial couple from the Galapagos Islands who had the goal of starting a company that offers daily navigation services between the islands.
“One of the most important assets of the company is that is under 100% Galapagueño management”
Over the years, the company grew rapidly thanks to its excellent performance, with a focus on exceptional customer service, offering different itineraries and activities for its guests onboard. Now, the company proudly owns a complete fleet of vessels, including 2 catamarans.
Your Best Galapagos Business Partner
The company has focused on several axes for its corporate growth based on the philosophy of maintaining a profitable business and at the same time promoting best sustainable tourism practices in the islands. As Galapagueños, community support becomes even more significant; at the moment the company is part of social projects that focus on promoting the well-being of the population of the archipelago. The update of technological knowledge is a fundamental factor for the corporation, which is why Galagents has invested in training and updating its personnel and vessels with the latest trends worldwide in this area.
Our Exceptional Fleet
M/C Alya is a catamaran that, due to its characteristics in this class of boats, offers excellent stability, with its 16 guests hardly feeling movement at sea. Currently, the cruise is undergoing planned maintenance at the dry dock, returning to the Galapagos the second week of December 2019.
As the cruise owners and direct operators, the ship will be managed by Galagents starting in February 2020.
M/C Ecogalaxy is another catamaran with a capacity of 16 guests, with the main feature of being conceived and built under ecological parameters, using materials that have a lower environmental impact when sailing, including: built with 50% less wood, 2 generators that are used depending on the navigation needs for saving on fuel, 100% biodegradable materials, reduced use of plastic, and waste management that includes recycling, depending on the process. These are some examples of how resources are optimized on this catamaran, and some of these initiatives have been replicated across the rest of the fleet of ships.
Based on these strict and high ecological responsibility standards, the 3 vessels have been awarded and received Smart Planet certificates, which is an international recognition given to vessels that comply with these types of ecological regulations. The last planned dry dock maintenance to this vessel took place in October 2019.
