The Horizon Trimaran redefines the art of small-ship cruising in the Galapagos. Designed for travelers who crave adventure without sacrificing comfort, it carries only 16 guests, creating a rhythm that feels personal, unhurried, and deeply connected to nature. Each day begins with a gentle wake-up call from the sea—pelicans gliding by your balcony and your naturalist guide outlining the day’s discoveries. Zodiac landings are swift, and hikes and snorkeling sessions unfold in small groups, letting you linger with sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas.

Back on board, the mood shifts to calm luxury. The Jacuzzi sun deck and spacious terraces invite conversation, while your suite offers quiet retreat and panoramic views. For families, first-time visitors, and seasoned explorers alike, Horizon combines the intimacy of a yacht with the stability of a trimaran, crafted to let you experience the Galapagos as few ever do.

life on board

Life aboard Horizon flows in harmony with the islands. Mornings begin with the soft light over lava landscapes and coffee served on deck. After an active landing or snorkel, crew members welcome you back with chilled towels and fresh juice. Lunches are bright and colorful, Ecuadorian flavors paired with international favorites.

Evenings invite connection: relaxed briefings led by your naturalist guide, alfresco dinners under the stars, and laughter over shared sightings. Later, the Jacuzzi deck becomes your quiet observatory, where the Milky Way replaces screens and schedules.

Your balcony suite offers cool comfort and ocean calm, turning each night into a gentle reminder that adventure and serenity can coexist.
