Small-Ship Luxury for Intimate Wildlife Access
— The Ship —
Coral II was designed for travelers who want the Galapagos up close, without the crowds. The mood is boutique and personal: morning briefings that actually feel like conversations, landings paced for nature photography and wildlife watching, and evenings that drift into easy chats at the lounge or quiet moments beneath equatorial stars. Between islands, the yacht’s steady ride keeps the focus on comfort and discovery.
If you love small-ship luxury, expert naturalist insight, and a calm rhythm of exploration, Coral II fits perfectly.

— Suites & Layout —
Cabin Mix with 18 exterior cabins, ocean views, private bathroom, individual climate control; twin, double, and select triple setups, plus interconnecting options for families.
True small-ship vibe: Fewer guests, quieter trails, and more one-on-one time with your naturalist guide.
Guest-Friendly Plan: Indoor lounge and bar for briefings and evening wind-downs; sun deck for sky-watching, coffee at sunrise, and sea-breeze lounging.
Quiet Design Touches: Soft lighting, efficient layouts, and short walking distances—everything you need is nearby, from gear pick-up to Zodiac boarding.

— Itineraries & Dates —
Start with fresh coffee and a concise naturalist briefing, then head out for a morning landing. Return to chef-prepared lunches, a sun-deck breather, and an afternoon of snorkeling or coastal Zodiac exploring. Evenings bring relaxed talks in the lounge, the day’s photo share-outs, and unfiltered stargazing. Power outlets are standard; connectivity is limited, encouraging an easy digital reset.
