The ultimate, intimate Galápagos expedition aboard a 16-guest catamaran
The elegant, well-appointed ship, with a double hull, accommodates 16 guests in eight spacious, air-conditioned double staterooms with polished wood décor.

Available as a private charter, the ship is perfectly sized for a group of family and friends, or your organization.
