La Pinta is a 48-guest expedition yacht that UnCruise sails in the Galápagos Islands. Registered in Ecuador and crewed by Ecuadorians, she is 64 metres long, with 24 outside cabins that have floor-to-ceiling windows, a lounge, an expedition room decorated with charts and art, an exercise room, and a covered open-air dining area with a hot tub and bar at the stern. UnCruise says she has recently had a full interior makeover.
