07 · About HERMES
HERMES is a next-generation luxury expedition catamaran for fully private charters in the Galápagos Islands. She pairs the intimacy of a boutique yacht with the capability of an expedition vessel, offering a rare way to explore one of the world's most extraordinary places in complete comfort and privacy.
With room for up to 20 guests and a crew of nearly one for every guest, she suits extended families or groups who want an immersive, highly personal Galápagos journey.
Design and experience
Her interiors are elegant and contemporary, with large windows and open spaces that keep the landscape in view, and a layout that flows naturally between inside and out. There are two lounges, a library of books on Galápagos wildlife, and a spa with a Hammam. Unlike larger cruise vessels, HERMES offers the privacy and flexibility of a true yacht charter, so guests experience the islands at their own pace.
Guest accommodation
Every suite is a private retreat after a day of exploring, with a private balcony and uninterrupted ocean views. This level of comfort is rare in expedition cruising, and makes HERMES one of the most luxurious ways to see the Galápagos.
Life on board
Between adventures, guests can dine al fresco, unwind in the large deck Jacuzzi, take a seat in the sundeck's forward observation area, or gather on the upper aft deck for evening drinks.
Exploration and activities
Days are spent among volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches and thriving marine life, with expert naturalist guides leading small groups. Expect close encounters with giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions and a rich variety of birdlife, and time in the water snorkelling, kayaking and paddleboarding.
Each itinerary balances discovery, adventure and relaxation. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply exploring one of the world's most remarkable destinations, HERMES delivers a charter that is both enriching and unforgettable.
