Sailing to the Galápagos: What Does It Really Take?
The Galápagos Islands are high on a lot of sailors’ dream lists, but getting there takes more than simply pointing the bow west.
Join Gio & Julie Cappelli of Pelagic Blue Cruising for Sailing to the Galápagos, a live online class exploring what cruisers need to know before making the voyage to one of the most extraordinary and carefully protected sailing destinations in the world.
Gio and Julie have sailed more than 20,000 miles through the Pacific, and they’ll share firsthand experience from sailing to and cruising the Galápagos.
We’ll talk about:
- Planning the passage and deciding when to go
- Entry procedures, permits, agents, and biosecurity requirements
- Preparing your boat and crew
- What a Galápagos visit really costs
- Anchorages, inter-island cruising, provisioning, fuel, and water
- Wildlife, conservation, and responsible cruising
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Planning your onward Pacific passage
And yes, we’ll also talk about the part everyone dreams about: sea lions, marine iguanas, penguins, turtles, incredible landscapes, and what it’s actually like to experience the islands from a cruising sailboat.
