Baltra, Galapagos - 26th of March, 2026
HERMES introduces a distinctive presence in the Galapagos charter landscape, offering a 50m Astinave Custom super catamaran designed around space, comfort, and immersive exploration. With her impressive volume and inherent stability, she creates an onboard atmosphere that feels both expansive and private, presenting a refined alternative to traditional expedition-style cruising in this protected region.
Accommodating up to 20 guests across 12 suites, each with a private balcony, HERMES is particularly well suited to families and larger groups looking to experience the Galapagos together while maintaining privacy and comfort. Life on board unfolds at an easy pace, with wellness features including a jacuzzi, hammam, massage room, and gym, complemented by inviting social spaces and uninterrupted views across the islands.
Operating from Baltra and San Cristobal, HERMES offers access to some of the most remote and wildlife-rich areas of the archipelago. Guided by expert local knowledge, each itinerary is shaped around close encounters with the natural environment, from giant tortoises and marine iguanas to sea turtles and birdlife. A fleet of tenders, kayaks, paddleboards, and dinghies allows guests to explore each location in greater depth, supported by a dedicated crew of 19 Ecuadorian professionals.
“HERMES is a truly exceptional addition to the Galapagos charter market,” said Vanja Speranda, Managing Director of OCEAN Yacht Charter. “Offering accommodation for 20 guests in a setting that remains private and refined is very rare in this destination. This yacht allows larger groups to experience the Galapagos together, while maintaining the level of comfort and exclusivity expected from a luxury yacht charter.”
With a concept centered on space, access, and experience, HERMES presents a new perspective on private exploration in the Galapagos, where discovery and comfort come together in a naturally elevated way.
