Highlights of the Elite Catamaran

Category: Super Deluxe

  • The Elite yacht is a luxury, twin-hulled catamaran, beginning Galapagos operations in June 2019, making it one of the most modern vessels available.
  • The design of the Elite allows for more space per guest on board, including integrated social areas that blend indoor and outdoor designs and experiences.
  • Each suite has grand windows for panoramic ocean views, private outdoor balcony, as well as a natural light frosted glass wall restroom. Beds are convertible in two twin beds or one king size bed.
  • Social areas include a spacious sun deck with Jacuzzi hot tub, exterior bar, alfresco dining, and there are 2 double kayaks for guest use.
  • Meals onboard are made from fresh ingredients locally provided from farms on the islands. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, while dinners are a more formal sit-down affair.
