Built for the Galapagos from the hull up, Ocean Spray is a 16 guest luxury catamaran that feels open, airy, and reassuringly stable. The twin-hull design keeps the ride smooth while the experience stays small-group and personal, think unhurried Zodiac landings, quiet coves, and close, respectful encounters with blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, and sea turtles. Sun-bright suites many with private balconies, frame the islands through panoramic windows, and the kitchen leans into Ecuadorian coastal cuisine with fresh ceviches and ocean-to-table plates. Add easy gear set-ups for snorkeling with sea lions, photo-friendly pacing, and you’ve found the calm, intimate sweet spot of a small-ship Galapagos luxury cruise.

life on board

Mornings start with a golden horizon and coffee on the sun deck as frigatebirds trace slow circles overhead. A short Zodiac hop brings you to a quiet shore for a naturalist-led walk time to photograph lava textures and watch wildlife without the rush. When the water warms, slip in for effortless snorkeling among rays, reef fish, and playful sea lions; on select days, glide by kayak across glassy bays where only small craft linger.

Back aboard Ocean Spray, a chilled towel and a light Ecuadorian bite appear just when you want them. Soak in the Jacuzzi, stretch out for a breezy siesta, then gather for an easygoing briefing before dinner, unhurried courses that celebrate coastal Ecuador. Cap the night with stars from the sun deck, the catamaran resting steady as the islands fade to silhouette.

services & experiences

Sun Deck = Prime Wildlife Theater
Ocean Spray’s extra-wide sun deck gives 360° views for dolphin wake-rides, manta fly-bys, and golden-hour boobies—one of the best panorama spots among 16-guest Galapagos luxury catamarans.

Jacuzzi Etiquette & Timing
The Jacuzzi is open most afternoons (post-snorkel bliss). Towels are refreshed often; bring a light cover-up so you can roll straight into sunset canapés without heading to your cabin first.

Cabin Picking: Upper vs. Main Deck
Upper-deck cabins catch more breeze and sky; main-deck cabins keep you close to the lounge and Zodiac boarding, great for early risers, photographers, or anyone who prefers minimal stairs.

Low-Impact, Local Flavor
Expect Ecuadorian coastal cuisine with responsible sourcing, refill stations for water, and eco amenities, aligned with Galapagos National Park guidelines for a lighter footprint.

good to know

faqs

Can Ocean Spray split activities if part of our group wants a slower pace?
Yes. With just 16 guests, your naturalists can separate into easy / moderate options when possible—e.g., a short lava-field walk for photographers while others continue to a viewpoint—so everyone enjoys the small-ship Galapagos day at their speed.

Is there space to dry snorkel gear and swimsuits between outings?
There is. The crew organizes a designated drying area near the platform and provides mesh bags or hang points so your wetsuit, rash guard, and swimsuits dry quickly before the afternoon Zodiac landing.

I am focused on seabirds, can Ocean Spray help time outings for light and behavior?
Absolutely. Let your guides know your targets (frigatebird displays, blue-footed boobies, or pelicans diving). They will advise which sites on your route suit golden-hour light or active feeding windows, and the Zodiac team will position carefully for clean angles.
