The Cachalote is a ‘First Class’ schooner rigged motor sailor. Feel free to relax and enjoy any of her three wooden decks; maybe soaking up some equatorial sun, or perhaps reading and relaxing while cruising. This is a beautifully decorated motor sailor built in 2002 to meet all security standards, according to international marine safety regulations. Cachalote Iaccommodates 16 passengers in her 7 cabins: upper/lower berths and one matrimonial cabin all with private baths with hot/cold water showers, fully air conditioned with independent air conditioning units in each cabin. There is plenty of deck space on 3 different wooden decks with seats and cushions to relax in the shade or sunbathe during the cruise, but don’t forget that sunscreen! Enjoy beautiful cruising through the islands…spot dolphins and whales…snorkel with the sea lions…see birds with blue feet, red feet or big red ‘balloons’ on their necks…enjoy the scenery and volcanoes…and marvel at the colourful beaches.
The Cachalote I has been awarded the “Smart Voyager Certification” for adhering to conservations standards and complies with all international maritime regulations and is SOLAS certified.
