Mainland flights included make your Galapagos logistics much simpler.
Six Upper Deck cabins each have a private balcony.
Only 16 guests, backed by Wittmer family expertise since 1969.

Our take: Tip Top V is one of the most compelling small-catamaran choices for travelers who want space without a big-ship atmosphere. She carries just 16 guests, yet her wide twin-hull design leaves room for a bright lounge, shared dining room and generous open deck. Six Upper Deck cabins add a private balcony—a genuinely useful extra when the scenery is the reason you came.
There is real Galapagos history behind this polished 2019 vessel. The Wittmer family's passenger-boat story began with Tip Top I in 1969, after much deeper roots on Floreana. We love that Tip Top V combines that local continuity with the practical comfort of a modern catamaran: ensuite cabins, individual air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and mainland Ecuador–Galapagos flights already included in the cruise package.
Depending on the itinerary, her eastern, southern, northern and western circuits can bring you to very different island worlds—from seabird encounters around Genovesa to the wildlife and volcanic landscapes of Española, Floreana or Isabela. Days revolve around landings, panga rides, snorkeling and time with the naturalist guide; back on board, the small group makes it easy to compare sightings over dinner.
One traveler who booked with us described the journey as a trip of a lifetime and praised both the expedition team and our help when plans needed sorting out. Book Tip Top V if you value a locally operated ship, a sociable 16-guest setting and easy package logistics. Choose the Upper Deck when private outdoor space matters most; choose Main Deck for the larger cabin footprint without paying for a balcony.

Dining on Tip Top V is designed around active expedition days rather than restaurant ceremony. The operator's crew plan includes a dedicated cook and cook's assistant, and full-board meals are served in the bright shared dining room. Recent travelers repeatedly praise the food as plentiful, well presented and one of the pleasant surprises on board; one family also reported thoughtful adaptation for a diabetic traveler. Let us know about dietary needs before departure so the crew has time to prepare, while remembering that a specific request can never be guaranteed until confirmed for your sailing.
Tip Top V cuenta con varios sistemas concretos a bordo que son importantes en un frágil archipiélago. Su sistema de tratamiento de aguas residuales y separador de aceite y agua ayudan a gestionar los flujos de desechos, mientras que la desalinización por ósmosis inversa reduce la dependencia del agua dulce transportada. Los baños utilizan productos biodegradables. Estas son medidas prácticas relacionadas con las operaciones diarias del barco, no una afirmación de que el crucero no tiene huella ambiental.
La fundación familiar vinculada con el barco también trabaja en educación, gestión ambiental y desarrollo comunitario en Floreana. Los huéspedes que deseen un enlace de contribución directa pueden comprar el libro de la familia "Floreana: Isla de Historias" a bordo; la fundación identifica las ventas de libros—no la tarifa del crucero—como el mecanismo de contribución.
