Catamarans are a favorite choice for cruising the Galapagos because they combine the best of both worlds of small boats and larger cruise ships. Galapagos catamarans tend to be some of the newest boats that cruise the islands, and also the most luxurious. Most travelers prefer the small group social atmosphere on catamarans that carry 16 people, and they are more stable sailing in the water than single-hulled small yachts. Choose from one of our favorite Galapagos catamarans hand selected by our team of Galapagos experts due to their excellent levels of comfort onboard, top-level naturalist guides, excellent cuisine and top-notch service. If you would like help choosing which Galapagos catamaran is right for you, please contact one of our Galapagos cruise planners for expert advice.
