This luxury catamaran has a capacity for 16 passengers, eleven crew members plus guide, offering a service ratio of almost one to one. Being the first catamaran of a new generation of catamarans, the Endemic gathers elegant exteriors, spacious areas for high-end accommodation, social, and open areas.
Cruise Overview
Imagine Ecuador; “Luxury Galapagos & Ecuador” is proud to introduce ENDEMIC, a new mega catamaran in the Galapagos islands. We have included in our suggested fleet such a great boat, a combination of luxury and comfort that promises efficient high end expeditions in the archipelago.
On board the Endemic, the eight Golden Panoramic Suites are airy and comfortable, four of them are located on main deck and the rest on the upper deck. Each suite has a private balcony; all suites have personalized air conditioning control and panoramic views of the islands due to its wall to wall glass doors instead of walls toward the outside. A small social area, closet/drawer, desk and sofa-bed are part of each suite as well. Matrimonial king size or two single twin beds are available in each suite for flexible accommodation. Private bathroom, hot and cold water and amenities.
