M/Y Daphne
The M/Y Daphne was re-built in Galapagos in 1997 and later refurbished in 2004 by adding a double Superior cabin and a solarium space.
The cabins are located on the lower deck with enough room to store your belongings, with private bathrooms, hot water and air conditioning.
Three main International and Ecuadorian gourmet meals are served daily. Cool beverages are available between meals.
In the evening you can gather in the salon to comfortably share the activities of the day and meet with the guide who will give a briefing about the next day's activities.
The stern of the boat renders ample space where every person can suit up for diving and comfortably board one of the 3 rafts (pangas) to either go to the diving site or to explore the islands.
