The eighty-five foot Tip Top II was redesigned and upgraded in January 2007 with a new sun deck, larger hull and two additional decks improving this already immaculate yacht. In addition to brand-new audio, video, and multimedia equipment, the yacht also features new state of the art components, including engine, generator, air conditioning, and many other machinery. Originally built in Ecuador's main harbor in 1998, the Tip Top II is the perfect vessel for those seeking comfort, privacy, and a personalized service. The Tip Top II accommodates sixteen passengers in eight cozy double cabins and one single cabin, each with private bathrooms, personal safes, and wardrobes. You will relax in comfort and luxury in the modern dining room, bar, and lounge areas. Some of the Tip Top II's fantastic amenities include a multimedia room, a fully equipped bar, a library filled with a variety of reading materials, and a spacious sundeck. You can rest assured aboard the Tip Top II. She is equipped with the most advanced navigational safety equipment, all of which meets or exceeds international Coast Guard safety regulations. This is a solid choice for the perfect Galapagos Island cruise.
