Cachalote
The Cachalote is a steel-hulled, ketch-rigged motor sailor that accommodates 16 passengers. With private bath and shower, each teakwood cabin is illuminated by the light of its two porthole windows. She is also known for the excellent service of her crew, knowledgeable naturalists and delicious cuisine in the Victorian decor of her dining galley. With ample deck space, the Cachalote is perfect for touring the Enchanted Isles. Kayaks available.
