Introduction:

The Luxury Catamaran Athala II was specifically designed and built to cruise the Galapagos Islands in style.

The elegant design provides more comfort, superior speed, excellent stability and meets all the latest safety standards.

The Athala II is unrivalled in offering the generous comfortable accommodation and amenities of a larger boat while still preserving the relaxed exclusivity of a smaller vessel.

Athala II has a sister ship named Nina, which was commissioned following the success of Athala II. Click here to view Athala's sister ship Nina.
