Ocean Spray - a new mega-catamaran for cruising in the Galapagos

The Ocean Spray is a brand new luxury mega catamaran due to set sail in early 2012. The elegant design includes an oversized sundeck, Jacuzzi and exquisite cabins complete with private balcony. This spacious Galapagos yacht offers both indoor and al fresco dining, a lounge, library, a bar and plenty of deck space to take in amazing equatorial sunsets. Each cabin boasts individual climate controls, private bathrooms and ample space for storing luggage. The Ocean Spray boasts some of the largest cabins on any small yacht in the Galapagos with double cabins measuring at least 284 square feet. A friendly, experienced crew, a top notch menu of Ecuadorian and international cuisine, and pure style all make the Ocean Spray a great cruise for your Galapagos trip.
