Sustainability of Galapagos Islands

We in Andando Tours - Angermeyer Cruises recognize the importance of the sustainability of the Galapagos Islands, for this reason we strictly comply with the Galapagos National Park (GNP) requirements during our operations. In addition to this, we cooperate with the Galapagos Foundation, of which we are members, to recycle garbage in the Islands as well as taking to the continent what can not be recycled. But our main concern is directed to social responsibility projects, what we call "brown projects", related to the local people who are engaged in extraction activities or who are struggling economically. We try to integrate them to tourism activities that may help them to overcome her economical problems and at the same time preserve the environment. In doing this, we participate directly in the ASOGAL projects of social responsibility. The following are some of these programs:

In operation: Help to the Gravel Farmers Association, with feasibility studies, technological advice, operations funds (as advanced payments to contracts) to initiate an important project that supplies may tourism operators with 8 vegetables and fruits produced in Galapagos without the use of chemicals.

In execution: A feasibility study for the "Pearls of the Pacific" Bakers Cooperative to industrialize its plan in Galapagos. Also, help to several artisan associations in Galapagos to create a Museum-Store, so they can sell their products without the middleman and at the same time the tourists may enjoy of seeing them work and create their crafts. We are working on a catalogue to promote there crafts on board of our boats, and additionally, we buy from them our Christmas gifts and use their products to decorate our vessels.

In project: The creation of a Seamstress Cooperative to produce tablecloths and linens for boats and hotels. There is also a project with help of BID (Inter American Development Bank) and its FOMIN II, to create an accounting and administrative office that would help the forming cooperatives and the existing small business that may need their services. This office will have as staff local accountants that will be responsible for training new personnel.

In addition to all these programs, last year we donated the 25% of our income tax to build the Puerto Ayora Hospital. During this year we offered this 25% to be divided equally among three projects: Central University Campus, the construction of an embankment and day care center.

Equipment: Gardner 8LXB engine, two generators 25-30 KW, Furuno radars 24-48 miles, GPS, depth finders, speed and distance log, compasses, clock, barometers, forward looking echo sounder, VHF radio, SSB radio

Our experienced crew includes: Captain, engineer, two sailors, cook and one licensed Naturalist Guide.

Angermeyer Cruises

There is one name that comes to mind when someone mentions the Galapagos Islands " Angermeyer "

Fiddi Angermeyer was born and raised in the Galapagos Islands learning his skills from his father Fritz, a boat builder and one of the first people to charter cruises in Galapagos. With over 30 years of experience in the charter business, Fiddi's appreciation of the Galapagos Islands and his knowledge of the sea can be matched only by few.

Angermeyer Cruises, with offices in Quito and Galapagos, has been formed with our customer in mind. Our sailing vessels s/s Mary Anne, S/S Sagitta, M/S Diamante, and M/S Sea Cloud have been arranged to meet the most demanding tastes, always taking into account the fact that because they are small to mid-size vessels, we are capable of offering our passengers a close experience with the Galapagos nature as a whole.

Our tour operator in Quito , Andando Tours, will take care of all the necessary arrangements such as reservations, ticket issuing, and mainland Ecuador programs, so as to facilitate your trip and optimize your time in our country, through personalized treatment.
