HERMES is an ultra-luxury catamaran, the first of its kind in the Galapagos Islands, crafted to deliver unmatched exclusivity and comfort for up to 20 guests. With a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, each suite offers a private balcony with breathtaking views of the Galapagos, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. The yacht’s contemporary design includes two sophisticated lounges, a library featuring an array of books on Galapagos wildlife, and a spa complete with a Hammam. Outside, the expansive deck space invites you to dine alfresco, unwind in a large Jacuzzi with sunbeds, or relax in the sundeck's forward observation seating, ideal for soaking in the mesmerizing landscape, while the upper deck aft is perfect for enjoying evening aperitifs.

HERMES promises an immersive journey through the wonders of the Galapagos archipelago. Expert naturalist guides lead small-group expeditions, providing deep insights into the region’s extraordinary wildlife and marine ecosystems. Whether hiking among rare species or exploring the vibrant waters through activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, each day is tailored to discovery. The attentive crew is on hand around the clock to anticipate and cater to your every need.

With a generous 1,000 sqm (11,000 sqft) of guest space spread across four decks, HERMES strikes the perfect balance between exploration and indulgence. Whether you’re relaxing in the Jacuzzi, rejuvenating in the spa, or enjoying impeccable service from the 17 crew members dedicated to your comfort, HERMES ensures an unparalleled luxury experience. She is the epitome of elegance and performance, making her the perfect vessel for your Galapagos adventure.
