Motor Yacht Tucano is a small expedition vessel purpose-built for exploring the Amazon’s remote tributaries. With just nine outside staterooms, it offers an intimate experience that allows guests to go farther and deeper into the rainforest than larger ships. The yacht features a forward salon and dining lounge with panoramic windows and balconies, a top observation deck with sun canopy, and a mid-deck balcony, providing ideal spaces to observe wildlife such as pink dolphins, macaws, and monkeys along the riverbanks. Its shallow draft and fleet of exploration craft enable access to uncharted waters, ensuring a truly immersive adventure.

The staterooms combine comfort and practicality with private bathrooms, dual showers powered by solar and pressurised systems, air-conditioning, and large windows with screens for rainforest views. The vessel’s design echoes the elegance of 19th-century luxury steamers, with wood paneling, brass accents, and nature-themed artworks throughout. Meals focus on wholesome, locally sourced Amazonian cuisine, accommodating vegetarian and other special diets. On M/Y Tucano, exploration and immersion take priority over conventional luxury, offering a unique, intimate way to experience the Amazon wilderness.
