There is nothing like cruising around the Galapagos in style in the intimate 16-passenger Athala II yacht. This cozy Motor Catamaran provides an intimate yacht atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, personalized service, a dedicated cruise director, and more. The Athala II was specifically designed and built to cruise the Islands providing comfort and excellent stability for those looking for a Galapagos adventure cruise in style. 

With 8 double staterooms, 4 of which have their own private balconies and are located on the main deck and 4 on the upper deck, Athala II is both spacious and comfortable with fully-air conditioned accommodations. The cruise directors offers their own unique and special personalized attention. In the upper deck, the bar and open area offers the best relaxation and al fresco dining. The sundeck is great for viewing the whales and the dolphins, but for relaxation there is no better place than the jacuzzi. In the evenings there is no better place for star gazing than on a Galapagos adventure cruise in the middle of the ocean. 

Every night, the naturalist guide will give lectures about the islands, in addition to briefings on the next day’s activities. These excursions include kayaking, snorkeling and hiking, all take place either before or after the island excursions. Whale watching is seasonal and best experienced while the humboldt current reaches the Galapagos. Although sightings are not guaranteed, with a keen eye and some luck you may see some whales during your cruise, especially between June and September.
