YOUR HOST
Meet Captain Max
A Life Deeply Rooted in the Galápagos Islands.
Born and raised in the Galápagos, Captain Max has spent much of his life exploring and navigating these remarkable islands. Years of experience at sea have given him an intimate knowledge of the archipelago, its waters, destinations and hidden corners.
Today, he brings that knowledge to Capitán Max B&B, welcoming guests and sharing local insights to help them make the most of their time in the islands.
For Max, hospitality is personal. He loves helping visitors discover the Galápagos beyond the guidebooks and experience the islands through the eyes of someone who calls them home.
You're Staying With People Who Know the Islands by Land and by Sea.
THE ISLAND WAY
More Than Somewhere to Sleep
We don't just point you toward the highlights, we help you get there. Three generations of knowing these islands means Max can guide you to the right daily tours and activities , and arrange the booking directly with trusted local operators, no boat of our own, just decades of knowing exactly who to call.
◆Personalized recommendations based on the season, the tides, and what you want to see
◆Daily tours booked directly through trusted local operators
◆No third-party agencies no middlemen — just Max's own contacts on the island
OUR HISTORY
A Family Story Rooted in Galápagos
Our family's story on Santa Cruz Island began with two very different journeys meeting in one place — our mother, who came from France, and our father, who came from Loja, Ecuador. When they arrived, the island had little infrastructure, and life looked nothing like it does for the visitors who come today.
They built their life here as Santa Cruz grew around them — forming a connection to this island, its people, and its way of life that runs deeper than anything you'll find in a guidebook. That connection continues today through Capitán Max, where we welcome travelers who've come to discover the same islands that raised us.
Tripadvisor Guest
"The little personal touches made all the difference — housekeeping even turned tidying our daughter's room into a small daily game she looked forward to."
Tripadvisor Guest
"Max handled our tour bookings and transport with so much care, it genuinely felt like staying with family instead of at a hotel."

"Steps from the pier and surrounded by great food — and Max's own recommendations pointed us to things we never would have found ourselves."
