Floreana (Previously San Juan and Queen Mabel)
The San Juan was built in 1982 and refurnished and renamed Floreana in 1998. The Floreana was totally rebuilt in March 2003 upgrading all facilities. The decor of the ship is made of beautiful, dark mahogany wood. Each cabin has double lower berths and upper single berths, a full bath with running hot water, ample closet space, and two portholes for excellent sunlight reflecting from the sea. In the dining room, there are two ample tables with all meals served in a buffet style. Or, if you like, you may eat at the outside dining table and breathe in the salty sea breeze while enjoying your delicious food. A large upper deck is furnished with relaxing sun chairs. On the front deck, you can watch the bow waves as you cruise to the next Galapagos Island.

The family is 100% involved in the running of the yacht. Carlos and Freddy Penaherrera are the captains of the Floreana, the dive master are brother Jimmy Penaherrera and Timonel, the second aboard after the Captain is Cesar Penaherrera. The logistics and marketing is in the capable hands of other members of the family, Walter Cango and Fernando Idrovo. Each of them endeavour of turning your Galapagos trips aboard the Floreana into an experience never to forget!
