Galapagos Journey fleet

We invite you to explore our website and learn about cruising the Galapagos Islands on board our catamarans Galapagos Journey I & Galapagos Journey II. 

The purpose of this site is to give all the details for cruising the Galapagos archipelago, which is by far the best travel option for visiting this nature paradise, by taking a cruise you visit several islands and visitor sites in the least time possible.

Natural history travel to the Galapagos Islands allows for: close wildlife encounters, great birdwatching, snorkelling & diving with large marine creatures, enjoying paradise beaches, landscapes with lava fields and spatter cones, stargazing at the equator, carefree cruising and much more.... as you follow Charles Darwin´s footsteps in this magical realm of evolution and change.

Once you browse through the site and learn about the enriching experience and easy logistics involved in a Galapagos trip, we are sure you will be calling your travel agent to book the adventure of a lifetime.

We also hope you consider our Galapagos catamarans as the best option for your voyage. We cater to distinctive travellers who look to make the most of the Islands while they respect the ecology of this fragile ecosystem.

Advantages of Galapagos Journey fleet

There are several advantages of cruising on board a catamaran versus a monohaul yacht, to mention a few:

  • Smoother Ride: Almost any Multihull will offer you a smoother ride in rough water due to the dual hull design and the construction's parachute effect as the boat crosscuts the waves. Air trapped between the hulls cushions the impact of re-entry. As the Catamaran does not land on the hull's centerline, like a monohull would, the effects of the impact are spread over a wider area.
  • Stability: Load levels on a catamaran can be up to 20% greater than a similar size monohull. Catamaran is incrementally more stable as they do not pivot on the centerline. The footprint is wider, helping to negate the effects of rolling seas.
  • More deck space: A catamaran is wider than a monohaul yacht offering additional deck space and sun bathing areas.
  • Environment friendly: All power catamarans have less hull resistance in the water, resulting in greater fuel efficiency (comparatively it takes less horsepower and fuel to accomplish optimal performance in a power catamaran than in a power monohull).
  • Access to remote areas: The catamaran's shallow draft design allows access to waterways that most conventional hulls cannot navigate.
