OVERVIEW
The Nemo Galapagos cruise is a perfect boat if you’re looking for a more adventurous cruise. It is a small motor and sailing catamaran that offers a very unique experience of discovering the Galapagos Islands. With its capacity of only 14 passengers, it offers an intimate way of traveling. The catamaran will make for a more tranquil and enjoyable ride than the larger yachts.
The catamaran provides cosy small cabins, welcoming social areas and the delicious food. You will also be able to enjoy showers with hot or cold water according to your preferences. It can get quite hot on the Galapagos Islands. However, you don’t have to worry about that since the cruise has air conditioner.
Of course a naturalist guide will be aboard with you and show you the incredible wildlife of the Islands during your Nemo Galapagos cruise
