New in 2018, the Endemic catamaran offers luxury cruises to the Galapagos Islands. She caters to just 16 passengers with a service ratio of almost one to one. There are 8 Golden Panoramic Suites available, four located on the main deck and four on the upper deck. Each spacious suite has individually controlled AC, private en-suite bathroom and a small area with desk, sofa-bed, closet & drawers. These cabins also offer panoramic views and have their own private balcony.
Passengers aboard the Endemic catamaran can enjoy elegant, open social areas including a main deck interior lounge and dining area with panoramic views where delicious cuisine is served whilst enjoying the stunning island views. Also on the main deck is a lecture room where briefings are held. On the upper deck are a sun terrace and secluded social area, perfect for relaxation and wildlife observation. Alfresco dining is available on the Sky Deck, along with an exterior lounge, BBQ station and sun lounging area. The perfect place to unwind in the evening whilst enjoying a drink.
Itineraries vary from 3 to 7-nights in length and explore isolated islands and remote visitor points in the search for unique wildlife endemic to the Galapagos Islands. A typical day aboard this Galapagos luxury cruise might include a morning expedition to see soaring Frigatebirds and snorkel with sea lions, followed by a delicious lunch onboard, and then an afternoon up close with penguins and tortoise followed up with a gourmet dinner and drinks whilst enjoying the sunset. Two platforms at the back of the boat allow for easy entry into the water or tenders, and wetsuits and snorkeling gear are included in the price, along with an expedition bag, and use of sea kayaks and paddle-boards.

Would do it again in a minute
Being able to see the less inhabited islands and spend time among the fantastic wildlife, and being able to learn about the Galapagos was incredible. The 5-star luxury cabins, food, and crew made the experience stress-free.

Fantastic experience: Galapagos, boat and team
My daughter loved her single room and its privacy from the parents, but her highlight was amongst all the animals and landscape of the Galapagos the transparent kayaks and the SUPs (and the Xbox). My husbands highlight was the snorkeling (which was eased with the new equipment incl. full wet suit). My highlight was to have the chance to see the vulcano eruption and the flexibility of the captain/boat to return during daytime to see it in daylight as well. Enrique the naturalist guide did a fantastic job and was very knowledgeable. The crew was very attentative, from the cabin stewards, bar man, board manager and kitchen.

Luxurious adventure in a fun way!
The cruise was very good. The problem was the prior: Golden Agency was bad, they ask us to be at 6 am at the airport and they showed up 90 minutes late. Misinformation and bad service overall. Schedules and dates were not well coordinated.

Perfect way to see the Galapagos
We did a lot of research and spoke with friends before choosing the right cruise for us to honeymoon in the Galapagos. We shied away from the larger companies / ships because of the size of the islands and fear that the excursions would just be challenging (read nightmare -- hundreds of people invading a small island). We were also concerned about the footprint of a larger ship. We finally chose a 5-day cruise on the Endemic! For us, it was the perfect decision. The size of the yacht and the fact that there were only 16 people on our cruise were ideal! We worried that the number of passengers might be an issue: if you don't like each other, a small cruise might be a nightmare. We were lucky that everyone was great! The cabins are large, well apportioned and very comfortable. Housekeeper Victoria tidied up 4 times a day, making it a pleasure to return to the cabin between each activity (and there were plenty)! The crew was uniformly amazing. Cruise director, Edison, ran a tight ship, and no detail was overlooked. Pursuer Paul made sure our wine glasses were full (very important). The chefs cooked an array of delicious dishes and fed us every 3 hours! The only negative was that the seafood, fish and beef were uniformly overcooked... That can be easily remedied. In contrast, the turkey (very difficult to cook) was perfect: tender and juicy! Guide Daniel was amazing. He guided us on 4 excursions a day: snorkeling; hikes; swimming; kayaking. He was just terrific! One of us did not snorkel, so panga pilot, Eliot, focused on his passion: bird watching. While the rest of us were in the water, Eliot showed him every bird imaginable! A big thank you to each member of the Endemic Crew for a perfect honeymoon!

Best cruise experience so far
After 2 years of planning my wife and I decided to make this long-awaited Trip. We had a fantastic time visiting the Galapagos Archipelago while learning so many things about Nature and Wildlife. Our Cruise was very comfortable, the food and service was very good and above all our Guide was over the top. He was not only a truly professional in his fields but also a great person. As an enthusiastic bird photographer this has been one of the best places I have ever been. I hope to be back again someday.
