Archipell II

Galaven Yacht


The Archipell II is a spacious catamaran in the Galapagos Islands with accommodation for 16 passengers in twin and matrimonial cabins. The two-hull style of the catamaran provides extra stability for comfortable Galapagos cruising.

The eight cabins all offer picture windows, private bathrooms with hot water, air-conditioning, and storage space for luggage. Every day passengers receive fresh towels and bottled water, and cabins receive daily room service.

Common areas provide a great way for passengers to relax. Passengers may also enjoy cocktails from the bar on board. DVD player, library, projector, and table games are all provided in the conference area to offer passengers extra wind-down activities.

If passengers desire, they may take in the sea breeze and view the Galapagos starry sky on the observation platform.
