Elite: 16-Guest Catamaran in the Galápagos
About ELITE
Elite is a 16-guest catamaran operating 4- to 8-day Galápagos itineraries. Prices start at $4,990 per person. Most departures fall between $5,250 and $10,000, depending on cabin category and season; the highest we have recorded is $10,490.
She is rated Premium class in our comfort tiering. Like every ship we sell, Elite carries no more than sixteen guests. The archipelago runs vessels up to roughly a hundred berths, and a hundred-berth ship goes ashore in shifts while a sixteen-guest boat puts everyone on the beach at once.

On board
Sixteen guests, nine cabins, two decks on a 37.5 metre hull built in 2019. Eight of the suites measure 35 m², four on the main deck and four on the upper. The ninth is a 19 m² single, and it is the reason Elite takes the solo traveller and the odd-numbered group that most catamarans in this class turn away.
Ten crew sail with sixteen guests. Between landings the sky deck carries the whirlpool, an outdoor cocktail bar and the al-fresco table, while the interior lounge keeps a 180-degree view for the hours nobody wants to be in the sun. Meals come from the Epicure kitchen, chef-led and built on ocean ingredients.
