Latintour Galapagos cruises are operated aboard two intimate sailing catamarans: Nemo II and Nemo III. This page brings the complete current Nemo fleet, ship profiles and departure dates together so you can compare both vessels before choosing a route. We are independent Galapagos specialists who know these ships and the practical differences between sailing yachts, motor yachts and larger expedition vessels. Ask us about cabin position, group size, sea conditions, itinerary or whether the Nemo style is right for you. You receive the same published fare as booking directly, with independent advice, help arranging flights, hotels and mainland extensions, and the additional safety of booking through a German tour operator.
The current Nemo Galapagos fleet is deliberately small. Nemo II carries 12 guests and is the more intimate of the two sailing catamarans. Nemo III carries 14 guests, with a little more onboard scale while retaining a close-knit small-ship atmosphere. Both appeal to travelers who like the character of a real sailing yacht, but sails are used only when wind, route, schedule and operating conditions allow. Neither vessel is automatically the better choice. Compare cabin position, deck space and itinerary first, then decide whether the two-person difference in capacity matters to the atmosphere you want.

Booking through Galapatours does not add a markup. Our Best Price Guarantee means you receive the same published fare as booking directly, while gaining an independent specialist on your side. We compare Nemo II and Nemo III with one another and with the wider Galapagos fleet, looking at route, cabin position, deck space, ship movement and atmosphere rather than simply repeating an operator description. We can also arrange flights, hotels and land extensions around the cruise. Your booking is made with Ventura TRAVEL GmbH and includes the financial protection explained here.

Latintour is an Ecuadorian family-run operator whose Nemo story reaches back to 1985. Its present Galapagos cruise fleet consists of Nemo II and Nemo III, two compact sailing catamarans designed for small groups. That continuity is relevant, but it should not replace a proper ship and itinerary comparison: in the Galapagos, visitor-site permits, voyage length, naturalist guiding and the rhythm of daily excursions shape the journey at least as much as the name painted on the hull.
Nemo II carries 12 guests and is the natural starting point for travelers who want the smallest possible group within this fleet. Nemo III carries 14, adding a little more space and social scale without becoming a large vessel. Their twin-hull design can reduce some of the rolling associated with a monohull, but no small ship can promise a motion-free crossing. Likewise, the masts and sails are part of the experience, not a guarantee that every passage will be made under sail. Wind, route timing and operational requirements decide.
Choose the itinerary before getting attached to a particular cabin photograph. A route that visits the wildlife areas and landscapes you care about is usually more important than a small difference in interior style. Then compare cabin position, outdoor space, group size and the atmosphere you prefer. Our guide to choosing the right Galapagos cruise length explains why a short voyage and a longer circuit feel fundamentally different.
