Highlights
The Galapagos Sky yacht was built with divers' needs in mind to offer year-round world-class diving in the Galapagos Islands. The luxury boat has been offering dive liveaboard trips in the Galapagos since 2001, and its captain and crew are among the most experienced in the region. Onboard, 16 passengers are accommodated in 8 private en-suite guest cabins, each featuring two twin beds or one king-size bed, a wardrobe, a mirrored cabinet, and marine-safe toiletries. The Galapagos Sky liveaboard is fully air-conditioned and offers ample space for rest and relaxation. The main salon features an audio/video entertainment center and a separate dining area where Ecuadorian and international cuisine is served. Dining service is ‘fine’ plated, and beverages, including beer and wine, and a full bar, are included. The top deck is home to loungers for relaxing in between dives or stargazing in the evening.
Galapagos dive itineraries are 7 nights long and include up to 19 dives, weather permitting. Dives at Wolf and Darwin are the highlight of the trip, and 3 days will be spent here with the chance to see whale sharks, mantas, and schooling hammerhead sharks. There are also land excursions included to experience everything the Galapagos Islands have to offer. The dive deck features warm, fresh-water showers, and hot towels are provided after every dive. Diving from tenders makes getting to and from the dive site hassle-free.

Dream achieved. Thank you, Galapagos Sky.
I really enjoyed my time aboard the Galapagos Sky. They ran a good program from the moment we reached the airport to the time of departure. You can expect great comfort, terrific support on the dive deck from the crew, tasty meals, devoted guides, and high overall quality of everything from rental gear to attention to customer satisfaction.

incredible vessel to explore the galapagos
Great food and best service I have ever received on a liveaboard. Almost all crew is on the dive deck helping people gear up, which is a challenge with all the thick layers, hoods, gloves etc. The crew delivered the cameras and fins to the pangas at departure and collected everything from the pangas upon returning. The crew helped us unpeel all the thermal protection and then rinsed and hung it up to dry for later. The also rinsed our cameras.

Trip of a lifetime
What an experience. From the moment we landed to the moment we left the crew of The Galápagos Sky were warm, welcoming, energetic and passionate about their mission - to give us the best experience. With only 16 divers, this is a relatively small ship but everything had been considered to make this a trip of a lifetime. The Galápagos diving experience is unique but can be challenging, however the dive guides were always on hand to ensure each dive was a success. If you haven’t been - go - and go in the Galápagos Sky, you won’t regret it!

Galapagos Sky is Excellent Over so Many Dimensions
Galapagos Sky is an amazing experience. Everything is done right on this boat. Service is beyond excellent, everyone is 150% helpful at all times. Food was the best we have had in Ecuador overall. Boat is in great condition, well designed and comfortable. Dive sites are spectacular - it is the Galapagos for crying out loud! Especially Darwin and Wolf diving are eye wateringly astonishing. Great job....

Best dive adventure ever!
Our dive experience on the Galapagos Sky was second to none. The crew was absolutely fantastic. Let’s talk about the diving first. All of the dives were great and we saw tons of things we’ve never dove with before, including tons of sharks, including Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks, Galapagos sharks, white tips, black tips, and silver tips. Huge sharks by the hundred. We also dove with marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins, sea lions, fur seals, large tunas, and Mola Mola. It was all unbelievable and the guides knew where to find all of the good stuff. When your dive is done, the crew greets you by helping you out of your dive gear and a fresh warm drink and some treat. Then its a warm shower on the fantail and the crew gets your gear ready for the next dive while you relive your experiences with your fellow passengers. Enrique (Quique) and Max were our guides and they were both outstanding. You could not ask for better more knowledgeable guides. The boat itself was quite comfortable and the internet worked surprisingly good. The AC did break down one day and it got hot but the crew worked to the best of their ability to get it fixed. The food onboard was excellent and there was always a choice of what you wanted. The cooks and the server were all first rate. They also asked us out the outset if we had any dietary restrictions and a couple member of our party did have issues but the crew took excellent care of them. Our family trip was a bucket list trip and it definitely was just that. I would unreservedly recommend the Galapagos Sky to anyone considering a live aboard to the Galapagos and I’m sure we’ll be back.

Don't look for a better Liveaboard, the Best!
I had no expectations other than the great reviews I read about, I usually dive with a larger dive franchise. The boat was well appointed and luxurious for a live aboard, it was kept spotless at all times. The crew was exceptional, the food was abundant, diverse, and tasty. The chef catered to every dietary restriction the divers could throw his way. Traveled 12/22-12/29 The diving was exceptional, having dove a large part of the world, they guaranteed that the Galapagos diving was a new experience. Sea lions, dolphins, Mantas, marine iguanas and endless hammerheads etc. They travel to Wolf and Darwin islands which are truly the " money shot" dives. The entire crew of 11 is on the dive platform before and after your dives, assisting you in every way possible. Wonderful experience that has set a new bar for our liveaboard experience in the future. Don't hesitate about booking. GG

An Adventure to remember!
My highlight was seeing a whale Shark at Darwin arch; seeing 100s of hammer head sharks on the very first dive at Wolf; the ongoing diversity of the diving expereinces was fantastic! Galapagos is a unique experience both on land and in the ocean diving. I loved my naturalist ship cruise with my family members 10 yrs ago and then returned to complete the diving portion late in November no the Galapagos Sky for Liveaboard Dive experiences. The differences between a naturalist ship and cruise vs. the Diving; on a liveaboard are very different experiences and each unforgettable, unique and amazing. The Dives were wonderful and always, very interesting. This was my most challenging Dive experience, to date, but a must do Dive adventure! I prepared for a couple of months prior to the trip, which made all the difference. I did all 19 dives and this was the most challenging in my dive expereinces world wide. I am very happy to have been able to spend a week immersed in the ocean diving with in diverse enviornments seeing so much ocean life, 100s of hamerheads, a whale shark and an ocean garden full of ocean iquanas eating sea grass and moss, seals, tons of fish, large and small ells, we even saw a large Sea Horse and 100s of silky sharks, black tips, white tips. The other guests were friendly,

The best liveaboard I've done
We were very lucky during these 10 days - hundreds of hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, a tiger shark, eagle rays, mantas, and thousands of mobula rays, a whale, .... In short, I'm not going to mention everything but it was an extraordinary experience
