Project | &Beyond Galapagos Explorer – Ecuador

Far out in the Pacific Ocean, 900 kilometers west of mainland Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands rise from the sea as a living laboratory. This remote archipelago has transformed the way we understand nature, its wild beauty preserved in isolation.

The &Beyond Galapagos Explorer offers rare access to this extraordinary world. Carrying only 12 guests, the intimate luxury expedition yacht ventures deep into the archipelago, reaching islands few will ever see. Each day brings a new encounter, from snorkeling beside playful sea lions to walking among blue-footed boobies or spotting giant tortoises that have watched centuries pass.

Life on board is as inspiring as the landscapes beyond. Interiors are filled with natural light and shaped by the textures of land and sea. Wood, woven details, and soft fabrics create a refined simplicity with a strong sense of place. Indoor and outdoor lounges open onto panoramic decks and an al fresco dining area, while a hot tub beneath the open sky invites slow afternoons between adventures.

In the bar dining area, Muses dining chairs with natural woven textures blend effortlessly with the yacht’s atmosphere, offering an inviting setting to enjoy fresh cuisine and signature drinks.

On the outdoor deck, the Catalina sofa, Hommy daybed, and Maui square coffee table create a serene retreat where guests can rest, share stories, or watch the sea stretch endlessly toward the horizon.

The collaboration between Artie and &Beyond Galapagos Explorer reflects a shared belief that true luxury lies in experiences that feel both natural and unforgettable. Each piece of furniture is placed with intention, bringing comfort that complements the shifting seascapes and ever-changing light. As the yacht moves through this rare and protected world, Artie’s designs become part of the journey, creating spaces where guests can pause, reflect, and feel entirely present in one of the most extraordinary places on Earth.
