Nortada Galapagos Yacht
The Nortada Galapagos Yacht has the distinction of being the smallest diving boat of the entire Tip Top Galapagos fleet. She is designed to carry 8 lucky guests on fabulous Galapagos dive cruises but can hold up to 12 on chartered voyages. The ship offers regular 7- and 14-night departures considered some of the best dive trips in the archipelago, as they offer up to 20 dives per week to some of Galapagos’ most famous sites, including Wolf, Darwin, Cape Douglas and Punta Vicente Roca! Built especially for diving tours, she features a scuba platform with benches, outdoor showers, camera tables and rinsing facilities, as well as necessary safety equipment. Unlike other liveaboard diving ships, she can tailor services for divers of varying degrees of experience on charter voyages.
And when you’re done diving, spend time with your loved ones or meet your fellow passengers on the main deck or in the air-conditioned dining room and lounge., Nortada Yacht reviews show that the attentive staff on this first-class boat maximizes your time on board with plenty of support, good food and attention to detail, all at a reasonable price.
The Nortada Diving Yacht’s 4 double passenger cabins are all situated on the lower deck. Standard accommodations include 2 lower twin beds, with the possibility of adding a third person per room in an upper Pullman style bed. All cabins are air conditioned and have private baths with hot showers, lockers and drawers for storing personal belongings.
