Athala CATAMARAN

The Athala yacht is a luxury catamaran that combines all of the comforts and amenities (e.g. Jacuzzi) of a larger yacht with the relaxed exclusivity of a small vessel. It sits proudly among the very best yachts that operate at the Galapagos Islands.

In 2012 the Athala will operate an alternating Galapagos itinerary both of which are interesting options, and it is also possible to combine itineraries into a longer 15 day Galapagos cruise.

“WOW – what an amazing week, what a fabulous cruise – everything far exceeded my expectations and left me wishing to return to the Galapagos islands again someday.” (Alice Carper, Canada)
