Sustainable Luxury Yacht Tribute
Tribute is the first sustainable superyacht run by a family-owned operator offering exclusive expedition experiences in the Galapagos Islands. Hosting just 16 guests, she ensures an intimate, highly personalized journey through one of the planet’s most remarkable natural sanctuaries.
With a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, two expert naturalist guides, and itineraries crafted in collaboration with the Galapagos National Park, every voyage balances comfort, intimacy, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, while advanced stabilizers, soundproofing, and a 100% fresh-air system ensure serene cruising and pristine onboard conditions. Wellness comes with a view — whether in the sky hydro-massage hot tub, during open-air workouts, or with private yoga and massage sessions. Expedition-ready with tenders, paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkel gear, Tribute blends authentic adventure with conscious design, from eco-friendly engineering and waste-heat recovery to intelligent climate control — setting a new standard for sustainable luxury travel in the Galapagos.
A Gastronomic Journey onboard: Dining is elevated to an art of storytelling, with a menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, Ecuadorian delicacies, sustainable seafood, and sommelier-curated pairings. Each voyage is a culinary celebration of the islands, from chocolate tastings to a signature farewell tasting dinner.
