Overview

Experienced divers often regard the Galapagos islands as something of a highlight in their scuba diving career.  Huge schools of scalloped hammerheads, indigenous  Galapagos sharks, manta rays, sea lions, marine iguanas and dolphins are just a few of the highlights that are often encountered.

GALAPAGOS MASTER

Known locally as Deep Blue, Galapagos Master is a 32 meter scuba diving liveaboard vessel which underwent a complete interior refit to the highest standards in 2015. Constructed from steel, the vessel is steadier than most due to being designed to be lower to aid stability and speed. Mostly recently refurbished in early 2023.

She welcomes a total of 16 divers on each liveaboard trip, maximizing safety and comfort for all guests on board. Featuring eight air-conditioned cabins spread across three decks, each has its own private en-suite bathroom with hot water, and ample storage room for all of your personal belongings. For added convenience and flexibility, Galapagos Master offers some cabins that can be used either as a twin or as a double bedded room.

The communal areas include a spacious indoor lounge on the middle deck  The indoor dining area brings a tantalizing array of mouth-watering meals, complimented by the adjacent cocktail bar. Photographers can take full advantage of the indoor camera set-up station. Galapagos Master’s top sun-deck ensures that sun worshippers can top up their tan while soaking up the Galapagos sights. Or, for those who prefer to relax out of the sun, the shaded upper level is an ideal location to chill out in cushioned lounge chairs and benches.
