Petrel is one of the catamarans we recommend when travellers want their Galapagos days to feel adventurous and their time on board to feel genuinely spacious. She carries just 16 guests, every double stateroom and suite has a private balcony, and the two 43 m² master suites offer exceptional room for a yacht of this size. The result is a polished small-ship experience without losing the sociable rhythm that makes a Galapagos expedition so rewarding.
The route matters just as much as the ship. Petrel's published programmes can focus on Española and Floreana, connect Genovesa with the central islands, or head west to the young volcanic landscapes and marine life of Isabela and Fernandina. Days are built around landings, walks, snorkelling and panga exploration, while the open bridge and observation spaces keep the islands present even during the transfers. We recommend choosing the route by wildlife and activity priorities, not simply by the number of nights.
Back on board, Petrel is especially good at turning the pauses between excursions into part of the trip. Our travellers repeatedly praise the Ecuadorian dishes, fresh snacks after outings and top-deck BBQs. The sky-deck bar, al-fresco dining area and whirlpool give you several inviting places to compare notes or simply watch the light change over the water.
Book Petrel if generous cabins, balcony time and an active small-group programme matter more than having the newest panoramic interior. She is less suitable if budget is the main priority or if you expect a catamaran to remove all motion: some overnight Galapagos passages can still be lively, and we would prepare motion-sensitive travellers accordingly.

Meals are one of Petrel's most consistent guest highlights. The operator describes menus built around fresh ingredients, local flavours and careful presentation, while our travellers remember Ecuadorian dishes, generous variety, top-deck BBQs and the juice or snack waiting after an excursion. Dietary requirements can be prepared when shared well before departure. With an indoor dining room plus al-fresco dining and a bar on the sky deck, eating on Petrel feels connected to the islands rather than simply scheduled between them.
La historia de sostenibilidad de Petrel va más allá de las normas que cada embarcación en Galápagos debe seguir. El grupo detrás del barco ha sido una B Corp certificada desde septiembre de 2025. Petrel también se describe como certificado de carbono neutral, y las cifras publicadas indican que el 95% de la tripulación de la flota nació en Galápagos. Mantenemos esos dos últimos puntos claramente atribuidos, pero añaden un contexto útil: elegir Petrel apoya a un equipo evaluado según estándares sociales y ambientales independientes y comprometido con el empleo local en las islas.
