Why the Grand Majestic Redefines Speed and Luxury in Galápagos Cruising
First American-Built MegaYacht on the Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruise
The Grand Majestic makes history as the first true MegaYacht in the Galápagos fleet, designed and built in the United States in 2018 to the same exacting specifications as the world’s best private luxury yachts. The Grand Majestic represents the pinnacle of Luxury Galápagos Cruises, offering resort-style amenities, comprehensive facilities, and spacious accommodations with premium service standards that define the highest tier of archipelago exploration, while maintaining intimate wildlife encounters through expert naturalist programs. This isn’t just another luxury vessel – she’s purpose-engineered specifically for exclusive high-end private charters, featuring American engineering excellence, advanced navigation systems, and luxurious appointments that rival the finest private yachts worldwide. At 127 feet accommodating just 16 guests in eight superbly appointed cabins, she delivers unprecedented space, light, and luxury while maintaining the intimate scale essential for meaningful wildlife encounters.
Fastest Vessel in the Fleet on the Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruise
What truly distinguishes the Grand Majestic is her remarkable 25-knot maximum speed – making her the fastest vessel in the entire Galápagos cruise fleet. This extraordinary speed advantage translates directly into more contact time with wildlife and destinations, allowing you to spend significantly more time experiencing what the Galápagos offers rather than traveling between visitor sites. Her advanced MTU Series 2000 engines delivering 2400HP represent marine engineering at its finest, ensuring smooth, efficient, and remarkably fast passages that maximize your precious time in this extraordinary archipelago.
Spectacular Master Suite Excellence on the Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruise
The crown jewel accommodation is the magnificent 400-square-foot Master Suite – an enormous private retreat that rivals the finest hotel suites in the world. This opulent sanctuary features panoramic windows providing unparalleled island views, luxurious furnishings with designer fabrics and highest quality fittings, climate control, premium linens, and stunning bathroom appointments. The Master Suite represents the perfect choice for celebrating truly special occasions, offering space and luxury unmatched by any other vessel in the Galápagos fleet. Seven additional staterooms feature panoramic windows, luxury appointments, and generous space that exceeds typical yacht accommodations.
Exclusive Charter-Focused Design on the Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruise
The Grand Majestic was specifically designed for exclusive high-end private charters, making her ideal for groups seeking complete privacy and customized experiences. With only eight cabins total, she provides superb levels of space and exclusivity that larger vessels simply cannot match. The dedicated captain, crew of nine, and bilingual naturalist guide focus entirely on your group’s preferences and interests, creating bespoke itineraries and personalized service that transforms standard cruising into genuinely private yacht experiences.
