Launched in July 2018, the M/C Endemic set a new standard for luxury catamarans in the Galapagos Islands. Designed to deliver both comfort and stability, this next-generation vessel carries just 16 passengers, attended by 11 crew members and a naturalist guide, ensuring an exceptional nearly one-to-one service ratio.
As the first of a new class of luxury catamarans, the Endemic features sleek exteriors and expansive social areas that blend sophistication with functionality. Its innovative twin-hull design guarantees smooth navigation and excellent transverse stability, allowing for fast and seamless cruising between the islands.
Cabin Specifications
The M/C Endemic offers eight Golden Panoramic Suites, each designed for ultimate relaxation and connection with nature. Four suites are located on the Main Deck and four on the Upper Deck, all featuring private balconies, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and panoramic ocean views. Each suite includes personalized air-conditioning, a small social area, sofa bed, closet, desk, and a private bathroom with hot and cold water. Guests can choose between king-size or twin beds for flexible accommodation.
A single cabin with a private balcony is also available—ideal for solo travelers or families—and carries no single supplement.
Features onboard
The Main Deck hosts a welcoming briefing area, ideal for lectures, videos, and information sessions, along with a stylish lounge and panoramic dining area serving exquisite cuisine. Two boarding platforms provide easy access to and from the yacht during excursions.
On the Upper Deck, guests can unwind in a secluded lounge or relax on the Sun Terrace, perfect for wildlife observation. The Sky Deck features an inviting open-air dining space, Jacuzzi, BBQ station, bar, and comfortable lounge chairs—a shaded retreat where guests can sip cocktails while taking in the Galapagos views.
