About the yachts and ships INCA uses

We carefully select the yachts we use for their seaworthiness and safety, suitability for comfortable adventures and the crew's dedication to serving you.

We use the best small yachts in the Galapagos Islands, Alaska and Turkey. Our Antarctic vessel is one of the most comfortable and safest expedition ships in the Antarctic Sea. And to see Tierra del Fuego in comfort, the Via Australis and Mare Australis are the only way to go.

We are proud to offer you the 141 ft. Integrity to the Galapagos Islands, which began operations in April, 2005. The Integrity, carrying just 16 passengers and built in the USA, has undergone a total refit that conforms to INCA's exacting standards for luxury and safety.

Why These Yachts and Not Others?

Throughout the years we have had a lot of experience (more than 3,600 charters) using many different yachts. Our current yacht selection includes only those vessels that we believe best meet our demanding standards. We know how well their crews are supported and their level of respect for the ecology of the lands. We know how well the yachts are built and maintained, their safety records, how problems are handled and, a very critical point for INCA, the degree to which the owners share our vision of a great trip.

Which Trip, Which Ship?

Our Alaska Southeast Alaska—The Wild North adventures are aboard the Alaskan Song and the Mist Cove, and our Southeast Alaska—The Inside Passage is aboard the M.V. Sikumi.
