Sail the sapphire waters of the Enchanted Islands aboard the Galapagos Elite, a sleek, twin-hulled catamaran designed to deliver a smooth and stable cruising experience unlike older, single-hulled yachts. Its innovative design offers enhanced stability and expanded space across all areas of the vessel, from the elegant suites and premium accommodations to the inviting social areas. Guests of all ages—from children to seniors—will appreciate the semi-covered sky deck, the al fresco dining area, and the cozy bar-salon, all thoughtfully crafted to elevate comfort and connection to the breathtaking Galapagos scenery.
The Galapagos Elite blends exploration and sophistication seamlessly, offering the perfect environment for discovering the islands’ wildlife and landscapes in total luxury. Guided by a certified bilingual naturalist and supported by a professional crew, guests can embark on carefully curated itineraries that showcase the best the Galapagos has to offer.
Cabin Specifications
The Galapagos Elite features spacious and well-appointed suites, each designed for relaxation and luxury after a day of adventure. Every suite includes:
- Private ocean-view balcony with panoramic windows offering unobstructed seascapes.
- Rainforest-style showers in an elegant private bathroom.
- Choice of queen-sized or twin beds to suit guest preferences.

A single-occupancy cabin with its own private balcony is also available—an ideal option for solo travelers or small groups. No single supplement applies, making it a comfortable and inclusive choice for all guests.
Unlike older yachts with small portholes, the Elite’s floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows fill each suite with natural light and offer ever-changing ocean views—ensuring every sunrise and sunset becomes part of the journey.
