Set sail aboard the elegant Nemo II for an unforgettable 8-day voyage across the breathtaking Galápagos Islands. This first-class motor-sail catamaran accommodates up to 12–14 guests and features seven comfortable cabins, each with en-suite facilities and air-conditioning.
On-board amenities include lounge and dining spaces, snorkelling and kayak equipment, and full safety and navigation systems.
Destinations & Activities
Choose from the “North” or “South” 8-day itineraries, visiting iconic islands such as Genovesa Island (Darwin Bay), Fernandina Island (Espinoza Point), Española Island (Suárez Point, Gardner Bay), Isabela Island (Tagus Cove, Elizabeth Bay), Santa Cruz Island (Highlands, Charles Darwin Station) and more.
Activities include guided hikes, panga rides, kayaking, paddle-boarding and snorkelling at fascinating marine sites.
Diving & Snorkelling
While primarily a snorkelling and kayaking charter, NEMO II is listed as “fully equipped with diving gear” on some listings, making it an excellent pick for travellers looking to explore underwater – subject to local regulations and dive-guide arrangements.
Guests can snorkel alongside sea lions, reef fish, turtles and rays in pristine Galápagos waters, often right off the dive deck or via guided zodiac rides.
