M/Y Sea Man

Frommer's Review

Of the small tourist-class motor yachts plying the Galápagos Islands, this one of the best. This boat carries a maximum of 16 passengers in eight double staterooms. Totally refurbished in 2003, the wood-paneled cabins are a bit small, but they all have air-conditioning, which is not always the case with tourist-class yachts. And the intimate boat and excellent crew help compensate for the lack of space. Plus, when you're awake you don't spend that much time in the cabins, anyway. There's a large sun deck on the Sea Man's uppermost level. This is a fully equipped dive boat, and scuba diving will run you an additional $75 (£41) per dive, with all equipment included.
