Highlights

Designed exclusively for the Galápagos – Unlike many expedition vessels, Endemic was conceived specifically for these islands, creating exceptional stability, generous outdoor spaces and a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape.
Panoramic suites throughout – Every suite features floor-to-ceiling glass and a private balcony, allowing the ever-changing scenery to become part of your room.
Luxury with a light footprint – Endemic is a carbon-neutral catamaran, combining high-end comfort with a genuine commitment to responsible tourism.
One of the best crew-to-guest ratios – With almost one crew member for every guest, service feels attentive without ever becoming intrusive.
Thoughtfully crafted itineraries – Longer routes reach the remote western islands and Genovesa, rewarding guests with some of the Galápagos’ most spectacular wildlife encounters.
Made for life outdoors – A spacious sky deck, Jacuzzi, outdoor lounge and al fresco dining areas ensure you’ll spend as much time enjoying the scenery onboard as you do ashore.

Good to know

How to get there

Endemic operates itineraries beginning at either Baltra or San Cristóbal. After flying from Quito or Guayaquil, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the embarkation point. The first wildlife visit often takes place that same afternoon, so the journey moves quickly from airport formalities to exploring the islands.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Endemic welcomes children aged six and above and works particularly well for families thanks to spacious suites, private balconies and the stability of her twin-hulled design. The yacht is also available for exclusive charter.

Giving back

Sustainability was built into Endemic from the outset. The yacht is operated as a carbon-neutral vessel, with emissions measured and offset while the catamaran’s efficient hull design reduces fuel consumption during navigation.

Onboard, floor-to-ceiling glazing maximises natural light, reducing daytime energy use, while careful waste separation, advanced wastewater treatment and the elimination of guest-facing single-use plastics help minimise environmental impact. Locally sourced produce and sustainably caught seafood are prioritised wherever possible, supporting island communities and reducing transport emissions.

Every voyage follows the strict regulations of the Galápagos National Park, with small guest numbers, carefully managed visitor sites and expert naturalist guides ensuring wildlife always comes first.

Why we love Endemic

Some boats feel adapted to the Galápagos. Endemic feels as though she belongs here. Every part of the design, from the panoramic suites and private balconies to the remarkably stable hulls, has been created around the experience of exploring these islands.
