M/C ELITE

The catamaran Galapagos Elite is one of the newest yachts cruising the islands, reinventing luxury, comfort, and class!

The Galapagos Elite was specifically designed to sail the Enchanted Islands’ sapphire waters. A sleek, twin-hulled catamaran, it provides guests with a steady, safe cruise without the rocking and swaying common to the older, single-hulled yachts that dominated the island cruise industry for decades.

In addition to better stability, the design of the Elite allows for more space for everything onboard, including panoramic social indoor and outdoor areas and panoramic suites. Guests of all ages can enjoy the ample, semi-covered sky deck, the al fresco dining area, and the cozy bar and salon on the sky deck.

Needless to say, the Galapagos Elite features state-of-the-art navigation technology and safety equipment: safety and reliability are essential parts of any Galapagos luxury experience.
