Beaches and Bays

MV Theory is one of Ecoventura’s premier luxury expedition yachts, purpose-built to navigate the Galápagos Islands with minimal environmental impact while delivering an extraordinary onboard experience. Named after Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the vessel embodies a seamless blend of modern sophistication, scientific curiosity, and eco-conscious design. As one of only three vessels in Ecoventura’s Relais & Châteaux fleet (alongside MV Origin and MV Evolve), MV Theory offers an elevated level of service and exclusivity for travelers exploring one of the most ecologically sensitive and captivating regions in the world.

Accommodating just 20 guests in 10 beautifully appointed staterooms, MV Theory ensures a highly personalized experience with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Each Deluxe Stateroom features floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, individual climate control, fine linens, and en-suite bathrooms with rainfall showers and sustainable bath products. Thoughtful configurations allow for twin or king bed options, and several rooms offer interconnectivity or triple occupancy via a pull-down berth, ideal for families or small groups.

A defining highlight of MV Theory is its commitment to responsible travel. The yacht operates under stringent sustainability standards, including a zero single-use plastic policy, energy-efficient systems, solar panels, and strict waste management protocols. All excursions are led by two certified naturalist guides (a 10:1 ratio), providing exceptional access to the Galápagos’ legendary biodiversity. Guests enjoy intimate wildlife encounters, guided hikes, zodiac rides, snorkeling excursions, and beach landings, all carefully timed and coordinated to minimize environmental disruption.

Onboard wellness amenities include a fitness center, sundeck with loungers and a Jacuzzi, in-room spa treatments (available by request), and daily housekeeping with turndown service. Complimentary wetsuits, snorkeling gear, binoculars, and onboard briefings ensure guests are fully equipped and informed for every adventure.
