Galapagos catamaran cruises

There is a trend for building catamarans in the Galapagos Islands. Over 50% of all new boats for cruising the Galapagos Islands are catamarans. These fine boats seem to be more stable than monohaul yachts according to several boat owners ie. http://www.galapagoscatamarans.com/.

But are catamarans actually much better than a monohaul?

This is a tuff question to answer, here is the opinion of yacht charter expert:
http://www.bayacht.com/mono-cat.htm it seems that both types of boat have there advantages and disadvantages. In the end it seems to come down to personal preferences.

What is a fact for Galapagos Islands cruising is that catamarans are the new trend and the newer boats are catamarans, therefore it seems that the best boats in the Galapagos Islands are catamarans, of course this is due to the fact that they are much newer than most of the boats in the Islands.

Galapagos Voyagers offers a broad selection of catamarans at their Galapagos cruise website:

Galapagos Journey I
Galapagos Journey III
Athala II
Nina catamaran
Nemo catamaran - This is actually a bit diferent, it is a sailing catamaran
Queen of Galapagos
Millenium catamaran

In conclusion, I believe it is your choice, a catamaran seems to be just as comfortable as a monohaul yacht, the real decision comes to boat specs and the itinerary (the most important part of a Galapagos cruise).
