life on board
Mornings begin with coffee on deck and a short Zodiac hop to secluded landing sites for naturalist-guided walks and photography. When the bays warm, slip into calm water for effortless snorkeling with sea lions and reef fish; some days add relaxed kayaking in glassy coves.
Back aboard Sirius, expect chilled towels, a light Ecuadorian bite, and time to read or nap in the breeze. At sunset, guests gather for a friendly recap before an unhurried dinner—then step outside for stargazing under the equatorial sky.

good to know
faqs
How does a catamaran like Sirius feel at sea compared with a mono-hull?
Sirius is a Galapagos luxury catamaran, so the twin-hull design offers added stability and a gentler motion, great if you are new to small-ship travel. The wide deck plan also means more open space for wildlife watching and photography while we cruise between islands.
Is Sirius a good fit for families or a small group of friends?
Yes, Sirius carries just 16 guests, which keeps activities flexible and personal. Guides can pace Zodiac landings for mixed abilities, and easy entries make snorkeling with sea lions welcoming for confident kids and first-timers alike. Ask us about adjacent cabins (and the best weeks for families), or consider a private charter if you want the yacht truly to yourselves on a boutique Galapagos expedition.
I am a photographer, what support is there for cameras and golden-hour shots?
Sirius is very photo-friendly: small groups allow unhurried time on shore, Zodiac drivers position carefully for wildlife, and the sun deck is perfect for tripods at sunrise/sunset. Cabins have standard power outlets for charging (bring your preferred adapters), and the crew can help with rinse tubs for housings and a safe, dry spot for gear between outings. If you are chasing blue-footed boobies in flight or sea lions underwater, let your guides know and they will help time landings for the best light on your Galapagos luxury catamaran adventure.
