Latintour is a family-run, owner-operated Ecuadorian business whose Nemo story began in 1985. Its strength is personal service, local knowledge and a close connection to the Galapagos rather than a large corporate cruise operation. The two Nemo vessels presented on this page are compact sailing catamarans for travelers who want active days, small groups and a more informal onboard atmosphere.
We bring their departure dates and ship profiles together so you can compare the fit before you book. We are independent Galapagos specialists, so we can explain the practical differences between Nemo II and Nemo III, compare them with other ships and help you judge whether a traditional small-catamaran experience is right for you. You receive the same published fare as booking directly, with independent advice, help arranging flights, hotels and extensions, and the additional safety of booking through a German tour operator. At a glance, Nemo II is Classic for up to 14 guests, while Nemo III is First Class for up to 16.
The two Nemo categories should not be blurred together. Nemo II is Classic and carries up to 14 guests. She suits travelers who value intimacy, an informal atmosphere and the traditional Nemo experience. Nemo III is First Class and carries up to 16 guests, offering the higher comfort level within the Nemo fleet while retaining a small-ship feel.
Both vessels are sailing catamarans by design, but the sails are not a promise that every passage will be made under wind power. In practice, the captain's choice depends on wind, route, schedule, sea conditions and safe operation, so motor power is used frequently. Choose Nemo II for the more intimate Classic experience; choose Nemo III when First Class comfort matters more. Then compare the route and cabin position before deciding.

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 with roots going back to 1985. The company describes itself as owner-operated, with the owners directly involved in the service and communication around the journey. That matters on a small Galapagos catamaran: the experience depends on practical local knowledge, an attentive crew and a clear understanding of what can and cannot be delivered on a given route.
The two vessels have the same broad sailing-catamaran identity, but they are not identical products. Nemo II is the Classic choice for up to 14 guests and travelers who want the most intimate version of the traditional Nemo experience. Nemo III is the First Class choice for up to 16 guests and travelers who want a higher comfort level. Both ships can sail when wind, route and conditions make it sensible; otherwise, the captain uses motor power to keep the itinerary safe and workable.
In the Galapagos, the route and the daily excursions remain as important as the ship. Our specialists can compare Nemo II and Nemo III with the wider Galapagos cruise fleet, explain the trade-offs honestly and help arrange the flights, hotels or land extensions around your cruise.
