Overview

    Endemic is a luxury motor catamaran launched in 2018 and among the first of a new generation of purpose-built Galápagos catamarans. Carrying just 16 guests with a near one-to-one crew ratio, she remains one of the most refined expedition vessels in the archipelago. Her twin-hull design delivers stability and speed while creating expansive suite and social spaces that set a new standard for the islands.

    A certified CO₂-neutral vessel, Endemic offsets all onboard emissions through certified carbon actions, making her a standout choice for environmentally conscious travelers who don't want to compromise on comfort.
