Plan Your Trip
Built in 2008 and redesigned in 2015-2016, the sleek 90-foot steel-hulled Tip Top II catamaran offers the highest level of comfort and stability, as well as some of the best experiences in the Galapagos Islands.
The Tip Top II runs alternating Galapagos itineraries: one week in the northern and western islands of the archipelago, the other week covering the southern and central areas. These itineraries can also be combined into a comprehensive 15-day Galapagos cruise.
Fully refurbished, this first-class yacht accommodates 16 passengers in eight (8) double cabins – each with its own bathroom, locker, drawers, safety deposit box, and air conditioning. These cabins come with lower twin- and king-size beds, while the upper deck cabins have their own balconies.
Some of the features found on the three decks of the Tip Top II motor catamaran are wall-to-wall carpeting, air conditioning, a TV/VCR with a sound system, a well-stocked bar, a library filled with a variety of reading material and a spacious sundeck with a beautiful teak-floor.
The dining room and lounge of the Tip Top II motor catamaran are fully carpeted for your comfort, and a sun deck creates a delightful place for resting and relaxing on board.
In addition, the 8-member crew of the Tip Top II motor catamaran (consisting of the captain, a multilingual guide, the engineer, and international cook, a barman, waitress and two sailors) will be on hand to see to your every need.
