Motor Yacht Tucano

The Motor Yacht Tucano

The Motor Yacht Tucano is designed specifically to explore the Amazon in the most thoughtful and sustainable way. Guests enjoy plenty of space to spread out and contemplate the wonders of nature.

Well suited to exploring the Amazon wilderness, the vessel is comfortable and sophisticated. She was built in the elegant style of a classic river steamship, but is actually a modern and fully certified commercial cruise vessel. While we travel in comfort, we remain focused on the flora and fauna of this magnificent wilderness.

Expeditions

Our voyage is quite active. We spend most of every day exploring the forest on foot, by kayak, or in our launches.

Cabins

All of the staterooms on the M/Y Tucano are outside staterooms and have lots of windows. The cabins have are air-conditioned and have full ensuite bathrooms. Some staterooms can accommodate three persons.

Privacy

Since the corridors are internal, the staterooms offer privacy and you can leave our curtains open to the awe inspiring vistas of the Amazon.

A Generous Salon

From this large space, at the front of the vessel and filled with windows, we are treated to fantastic vistas of the wilderness around us.

Large Observation Deck

The top deck is a wonderful place to spot wildlife or soak in the vastness of the Amazon. There is space to catch some sun and watch the Macaw parrots screeching across the afternoon sky.

Meals

We serve a great variety of delicious Brazilian dishes. There are fresh vegetables and fruits along with Amazon fruit juices.

Promenade Balcony

This broad balcony faces forward and is a serene spot to relax as the vessel navigates along the deeply forested shore. It can be a good place to observe monkeys jumping from one vine to another and pink dolphins leaping into the air.

Sustainability on the Motor Yacht Tucano

Our goal is to operate the most sustainable cruises on the Amazon. The vessel was designed with three systems to increase our sustainability: solar power, waste management, and pollution control.

Solar Power:

There are two separate solar equipment assemblies on board. One of them, to heat water, consists of solar-water panels for our sinks and showers. The other consists of solar-electric panels which generate electricity for our launch motors and many other uses on board.

Waste Management

All of our waste and recyclable material is separated and returned to Manaus, Brazil. Where possible, we avoid disposable packaging.

Pollution Control

Basic ship functions such as lighting, cooking, and launch propulsion are functional without generated electricity. As part of our sustainability plan, there are many detailed operations procedures in place to reduce our carbon footprint.
