About M/Y Galapagos Aqua
Based on Santa Cruz Island in Ecuador's Galápagos, the M/Y Galapagos Aqua is a 26-meter motor yacht built for small groups of up to 16 guests, pairing intimate diving with naturalist exploration across these singular islands. As a PADI Dive Boat offering enriched air (Nitrox), it suits divers who want to reach the archipelago's wilder corners in comfort.
Diving and dive sites
Trips take in renowned sites around Wolf and Darwin Islands, where guests can encounter hammerhead sharks and whale sharks. Beyond the dives, naturalist cruises fold in snorkeling, kayaking, and guided hikes to observe the islands' wildlife. Every excursion is led by certified guides, and the nine-member crew is trained in first aid and emergency response, with PADI, DAN, and EFR certifications behind them.
Nine air-conditioned cabins sit across three decks, each with a private bathroom and storage. On board you'll find free Wi-Fi, warm-water showers, and a battery charging station, with English and Spanish spoken — a balanced mix of adventure, comfort, and care for exploring the Galápagos.

★ 5 · Patricia Kimsey · 2022-05-24Great diving great staff don't book cabin 5. TOO SMALL. Excellent and plentiful food.
★ 5 · Vanessa Warren · 2022-05-04This was my first live-aboard experience and I don't think its possible to get any better (according to my very experienced boat-mates as well). The staff are what really made this trip outstanding (all locals and all totally lovely and helpful), but truly, everything was well beyond my expectations. Super clean, AMAZING food - even super air in the tanks (which I've had issues with on boat-fills before). Some things I'd wish PADI had been clearer on before I left - like for example for SURE bring a reef hook - but they were small things. If you're going to the Galapagos, do it on this boat!
