Overview

    Elite is a luxury motor catamaran offering an intimate and high-end expedition experience through the Galápagos Islands. Launched in 2019 and custom-designed for the archipelago, she carries just 16 guests across three decks, each offering panoramic views of the surrounding ocean and islands. Private balconies, a Jacuzzi, and an epicurean dining program make Elite one of the most refined ways to explore the Galápagos.

    Every route aboard the Elite is carefully matched to the vessel, creating a curated and unrepeatable experience that blends wildlife immersion with exceptional onboard comfort.
