Stay three nights in a twin cabin on this small-group tour limited to just 14 passengers.This 4-day cruise aboard the Nemo I catamaran takes you into the eastern side of the UNESCO-listed Galapagos Islands, an archipelago of 19 islands located off the Ecuadorian coast. (See Itinerary below for details.) During favorable weather conditions, your captain turns off the boat’s light ecological engines and unfurls the sails on the open expanse of the Pacific.
The recently renovated catamaran accommodates 14 passengers only, and is approx. one and a half times wider than the majority of motor yachts that operate in the Galapagos Islands. Relax in the spacious main deck boasting panoramic windows, and work up a tan on the sun deck on the roof of the lounge, or on the hanging nets, just above the waves.
Enjoy your buffet-style meals (starting with lunch on your first day until breakfast on your day of departure) al fresco, in the covered terrace outside. Water, tea and coffee are included, and if you’d like a drink with a bit more kick (own expense), head to the bar inside the main deck. Watch videos from the small library, and listen to your Galapagos National Park–certified naturalist guide provide nightly briefings.
Each twin cabin, located in the hulls (lower deck), comes with a private bathroom, air-conditioning and a fan. You’ll access your cabin through a hatch, which also serves as a skylight window to shine in more daylight along with the portholes. A few cabins offer matrimonial beds, but most have berth (bunk) beds. Prone to a squeamish tummy on the sea? No worries — the width of the catamaran, along with the cabins’ location at sea level, prevents the boat from rolling.
A professional crew ensures you experience a comfortable and thrilling journey. To reach the islands, you’ll typically leave the catamaran at the anchorage-site and board a dinghy for the final stretch to land. Your crew is trained and ready to assist you as needed. In addition to snorkeling, you’ll enjoy opportunities to scuba dive (own expense) or explore by single or double sea kayak some of the protected bays or shorelines.
