Gliding across the sparkling waves lapping the shores of the fascinating Galapagos Islands, the M/C Petrel takes after its namesake in many ways. A cutting-edge catamaran that was custom-built for sailing in the Galapagos, the M/C Petrel smoothly and quietly navigates the archipelago while its 16 passengers relax in its spacious social areas and observation decks. It hosts 9 generous staterooms, each with its own en-suite and sumptuous king-size or twin beds. Passengers will enjoy the trip of a lifetime in one of the world's most pristine destinations.

The expert chefs and kitchen staff prepare international cuisine and Ecuadorian delicacies at every meal. Golden Galapagos specializes in customized cruises for discerning clients, ensuring that the extraordinary endemic wildlife, stunning island landscapes, and colorful abundance of life beneath the waves are the focus of every activity, while the luxury catamaran provides every comfort for its guests.

An experienced multilingual guide is on board the M/C Petrel at all times, accompanying passengers on excursions and even during downtime to talk about the islands’ history and geography, their endemic wildlife, and the activities on offer. Guests enjoy different activities at each visitor point, including snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, birdwatching, and many others!

The M/C Petrel offers many exclusive features, including a fully-stocked bar offering refreshing signature drinks and international spirits on the top deck - the perfect place to enjoy cool beverages with 360-degree views of the surrounding islands and wildlife. It also features an al-fresco dining area, ideal for enjoying an open-air barbecue while taking in a stunning Galapagos sunset.
