The Tip Top III was constructed in 2001 and built to be a slightly larger and more comfortable version of its sister ship, the Tip Top II. This ninety-eight foot vessel is one of the most modern, comfy, and luxurious of all the Galapagos small motor yachts. Cruising at a solid twelve knots, you will have all you need to accommodate the perfect Galapagos Islands cruise. Sixteen passengers stay in ten roomy exterior cabins, complete with lockers, drawers, hot water showers, toilets, washbasins, and vanities. All three decks have wall-to-wall carpeting and air conditioning, making for a comfortable experience, no matter where you find yourself. Whether you want to watch a movie in the audio visual room, read in the library, enjoy a delicious dinner in the modern dining room, or have a relaxing drink at the bar, the Tip Top III is sure to please. The vessel is equipped with a spacious sundeck and a diving platform, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Sail the Galapagos on one of the newest and most comfortable boats for the experience of a lifetime.
