Hermes Galapagos Catamaran.

Launched in 2025, the Hermes Galapagos Catamaran elevates archipelago expeditions to a superyacht standard. Custom-built specifically for these protected waters rather than retrofitted, this ultra-luxury vessel hosts just 20 guests with a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio and 24/7 butler service. The focus is on unprecedented space; its 12 massive suites feature private balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in closets, and private jacuzzis looking out over the Pacific. Between guided hikes, kayaking, and snorkeling, passengers can retreat to ten distinct social areas spread across the ship, which include a hammam, a panoramic deck, and massage rooms. It is a rare, conservation-minded cruise that refuses to compromise on physical comfort, even in the earth's most remote corners.
