The MV Evolve.
Sail the world in unparalleled luxury aboard the MV Evolve, a masterpiece of design and comfort.
MV Evolve is one of Ecoventura’s newest luxury expedition yachts and the third in its exclusive Relais & Châteaux fleet, joining the award-winning MV Origin and MV Theory. Launched to elevate sustainable exploration in the Galápagos Islands, MV Evolve combines state-of-the-art design, personalized service, and an eco-conscious ethos to deliver an unforgettable voyage through one of the world’s most biologically diverse regions.
With a capacity of just 20 guests in 10 spacious, outward-facing staterooms, MV Evolve ensures an intimate and highly personalized experience. The vessel adheres to the highest standards of environmental stewardship, with a sleek, energy-efficient hull design, sophisticated waste management systems, and advanced water filtration. These features allow guests to explore the archipelago in comfort while minimizing their ecological footprint.
Each stateroom aboard MV Evolve is located on the main deck and offers large panoramic windows, providing uninterrupted views of the ocean and the islands beyond. Guests enjoy plush bedding (with the option of a king or twin configuration), modern en-suite bathrooms with rainfall showers, and contemporary furnishings designed to maximize comfort and function. Luxurious touches such as locally inspired décor, organic bath amenities, climate control, and nightly turndown service reflect the yacht’s commitment to refined detail and responsible luxury.
The onboard experience is further elevated by Ecoventura’s exceptional service. A 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio ensures attentive hospitality, while a dedicated concierge and highly trained naturalist guides are available to curate each day’s experience. Two naturalists accompany guests on daily excursions, offering expert insight into the unique wildlife, geology, and conservation efforts of the Galápagos.
Dining aboard MV Evolve is a highlight of the journey. As a member of Relais & Châteaux, the yacht’s culinary program emphasizes gourmet cuisine inspired by Ecuadorian flavors and made with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy open-seating meals in the elegant dining room, alfresco lunches on the sundeck, and thoughtfully paired wines and cocktails at the indoor bar and lounge.
Additional amenities include a spacious sundeck with a Jacuzzi, daybeds, shaded lounge areas, and a fitness center with panoramic views. After active days exploring islands, snorkeling in marine reserves, or kayaking along dramatic coastlines, guests can unwind in the onboard library or share stories over drinks with fellow travelers.
