The Monique Catamaran - Coming in March 2026
Launching in 2026, the Monique is one of the newest catamarans in the Galapagos, offering a premium small-group experience with space for just 16 guests. With a sleek, twin-hulled design for smooth sailing and sustainable features like solar panels and lithium batteries, it’s built for both comfort and conservation. Each spacious stateroom features panoramic windows, a queen or convertible king bed, and eco-friendly amenities. A dedicated single cabin with a queen bed is also available for solo travelers.
Guests will enjoy locally inspired cuisine with buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, and sit-down dinners on the Sky Deck. With a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio and a certified naturalist guide on board, every detail is thoughtfully handled.
The Monique sails a variety of 3, 4, and 7-night itineraries to iconic sites like Española, Fernandina, and Genovesa. Snorkeling, hiking, and wildlife encounters are all part of this immersive and unforgettable experience.
