Boats
Galapagos Best works with the most reputable boat operators in Galapagos to provide you with the cruise experience of a lifetime, offering cruises to the best Galapagos visitor sites, with the Sagitta, Mary Anne, Samba, Daphne, The Beagle, Nemo II, and Eden, and live-aboard dive cruises on the Aggressor fleet and the Deep Blue.
Daphne is a motor cruiser built in the Galapagos in 1997, and fully refurbished in 2004.
Nemo II is a catamaran operated by Latin Tour, an Ecuadorian company. Haugan Cruises offer the Athala and the brand new Nina.
Eden is a smaller yacht with slightly less cabin space than more expensive yachts, but with an itinerary, crew and cuisine to match the best.
Aggressor I and II and Deep Blue are fully equipped dive yachts for the ultimate Galapagos dive experience.

- Safety equipment and maintenance that meet the highest standards (I.S.M. – S.O.L.A.S. – I.M.O.),
- Delicious International and Ecuadorian cuisine by our excellent Chef.
- Comfortable and spacious accommodations
- Personalized service on-board by highly trained and hand-picked captains, crew and multilingual licensed naturalist-guides
- A highly professional support team guarantees all your on-board needs and secures a smooth and well-run operation.
On board
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served on board. Menus are mostly Continental cuisine.
Before lunch or at sunset, you may enjoy your favorite drinks provided from a well stocked bar. (Beverages are not included in the tour price.)
Purchases on board
For technical reasons no credit cards are accepted for payment of purchases on board. You will settle your bar bill (in cash dollars or travelers' checks) at the end of the cruise.
Gratuities (tips) are best covered in cash as some crew-members have no personal bank-accounts.
