Overview
Anahi is a first-class motor catamaran built in Guayaquil in 2006 and designed from the ground up for stability and comfort in the Galápagos. At 36 feet wide, she carries one of the broadest beams of any first-class catamaran at this guest count, and the difference is immediately noticeable on deck. The outdoor spaces feel open and resort-like rather than compact, and the twin-hull design keeps things steady even in choppier crossings.
What distinguishes Anahi in the first-class tier is the combination of that physical space with a genuinely family-run operation. The vessel has been in the same family for over 30 years of Galápagos tourism, and the crew culture reflects that continuity. Nine crew members serve 16 guests, and the naturalist guide program has earned consistent, specific praise in independent reviews. Itineraries run from 4 to 15 days covering all four island regions, with routes that are combinable for longer journeys. The shallow draft of the twin hulls also gives Anahi access to bays and anchorages that deeper-hulled vessels cannot reach.

Cabins & Accommodation
Anahi's eight cabins are spread across two decks, all with ocean-view portrait windows and wood flooring throughout. Main deck cabins are cozy and well-appointed; the upper deck suites step up significantly in size and come with a sofa bed that makes them the most practical family or triple-occupancy configuration in this price tier.
