NAUTILUS

Motor Sail

Nautilus Galapagos Motor Sail

The Nautilus Galapagos Diving Motor Sail organizes daily dives for up to 12 passengers total (2 groups of 6). She is particularly popular with guests staying in hotels in the archipelago, or with those who already did a naturalist cruise and wanted to add on some fantastic scuba excursions in the archipelago. Guests will be treated to a fun day’s outing that includes snorkeling, scuba diving, all necessary equipment, food and photos. The dive masters are knowledgeable, and they and the crew enjoy showing off the beauty of the islands to visitors both in and out of the water.

Facilities include an ample deck with both sunny and shaded areas, a wood-filled dining room and 2 cabins with private bathrooms for storing belongings and resting in between dives. When weather permits, guests will have the real treat of sailing the archipelago old-style on the Nautilus Galapagos Diving Motor Sail, a privilege usually reserved for people traveling on much more expensive liveaboard cruises.
