Discover a world of evolutionary enchantment, amid volcanic islands with unique species of wildlife on board the First Class Catamaran Galapagos Journey III. The vision for this catamaran is to introduce a new level of comfort and elegance to Galapagos trips. The Galapagos Journey III offers lots of space and comfort for naturalist cruises. The combination of stability, grace and speed make this catamaran a perfect partner for a Galapagos discovery adventure. The Galapagos Journey III has six cabins with lower twin beds, and two cabins with one lower double bed. All cabins are exterior and located on the main deck with outside views, private bathroom, hot water and individual climate control.

The social areas include a comfortable dining room with a TV/DVD and stereo system, inside/outside bars, and a Jacuzzi. The spacious sundeck with reclining chairs offers a great view of the islands' landscapes.

The Galapagos Journey III has a full crew including a Naturalist Guide Level II/III, who has been trained and licensed by the Galapagos National Park Service.

There are several advantages of cruising on board a catamaran versus a monohaul yacht, to mention a few:
Smoother Ride: Almost any multihull will offer you a smoother ride in rough water due to the dual hull design and the construction's parachute effect as the boat crosscuts the waves. Air trapped between the hulls cushions the impact of re-entry. As the catamaran does not land on the hull's centerline, like a monohull would, the effects of the impact are spread over a wider area.
Stability: Load levels on a catamaran can be up to 20% greater than a similar size monohull. Catamarans are incrementally more stable as they do not pivot on the centerline. The footprint is wider, helping to negate the effects of rolling seas.
More deck space: A catamaran is wider than a monohaul yacht offering additional deck space and sunbathing areas.
Environment friendly: All power catamarans have less hull resistance in the water, resulting in greater fuel efficiency (comparatively it takes less horsepower and fuel to accomplish optimal performance in a power catamaran than in a power monohull).
Access to remote areas: The catamaran's shallow draft design allows access to waterways that most conventional hulls cannot navigate.
