Cruising around the Galapagos on an expedition’s boat is highly recommend since it is the way to access the majority of the landing sites in the archipelago and its wildlife and marine life.
Archipell has been offering Galapagos expeditions on board its two identical catamarans under the same name for more than a decade of experience offering cruises around the islands as a charter catamaran as well as for individual travelers. Both catamarans are very stable on the water and let to the guest explore the enchanted islands in an intimate way with a small group.
The design of the two catamarans is based in efficiency and comfort. They are well equipped to host 16 guests throughout 8 comfortable double occupancy cabins in the main deck. The 8 cabins are divided in 6 cabins with two twin-size beds each, and 2 marital cabins with a queen-size bed each one. Two of them can be converted to a king-size bed. Each cabin is individually decorated with paintings of Galapagos species. All cabins have a view to the ocean, are full air-conditioned with individual climate control, private baths with fresh hot and cold water including in each cabin environment friendly soaps and shampoos, memory-foam pillows, wardrobe closet, reading light, and hair dryer for extra comfort.
A buffet food service is provided on board with a wide variety of healthy dishes for your enjoyment.

In the case that some guests may require a special dish due to food allergies or restrictions, our kitchen will be willing to adapt the menu to these requirements if they have been informed prior to the departure.
