    Ecoventura FleetOrigin • Theory • Evolve

    Overview

    Operated by Ecoventura, this fleet consists of three identical expedition yachts—Origin, Theory, and Evolve—each carrying 20 guests. Designed for small-group Galápagos exploration, the fleet follows a consistent operating model and onboard layout across all three vessels. Differences between the yachts are limited primarily to build year rather than configuration, allowing travelers to focus on itinerary timing and overall fit rather than ship-specific variations.

    At 142 feet in length, the yachts balance expedition functionality with onboard comfort, supporting the daily rhythm of Galápagos cruising: guided shore landings, snorkeling excursions, briefings, and shared meals. Public spaces are arranged to accommodate small groups efficiently, while the identical layout across the fleet ensures a predictable onboard experience regardless of which yacht is selected.
