TRIP DESCRIPTION
The 14-passenger Nemo I Galápagos Sailing Catamaran offers an adventurous cruising experience in the Galápagos Archipelago. There are a few really unique things about the Nemo I. It only has capacity for 14 travelers (most boats hold 16 or more), so it’s smaller and more personal. Most of the cabins have bunk beds, and the only windows in the cabins are portholes. However, there is plenty of common space outside, so you won’t be spending much time in your cabin. And there is a large net between the two hulls where you can relax and try to spot underwater wildlife.

Nemo 1 was great. The tour was fantastic and the eco-adventure wonderful. The captain and all the staff were wonderful and took great care to make our adventure a safe and amazing one. The snorkels (mostly twice a day) were fantastic, and sometimes a bit more ‘athletic’ than anticipated with the current to contend with. There was so much beauty and wonder to be enjoyed. The only unfortunate part was our particular guide (Ivan) was gruff and even rude to several of the guests the first few days, actually bringing a few to tears. This was extremely disappointing, as this was a trip of a lifetime, (and not cheap!) and I expected (and paid for) a more gracious and accommodating host! I understand he is not the ‘regular’ on this beautiful ship.

Amazing Trip
The boat was incredible, small but confortable and with a great atmosphere. Crew was polite and efficient. No words to describe the trip: from snorkling with the sea lions to tracking and visiting the turtles, everything was superb.
