Highlights
The Galapagos Sky yacht was built with divers' needs in mind to offer year-round world-class diving in the Galapagos Islands. The luxury boat has been offering dive liveaboard trips in the Galapagos since 2001, and its captain and crew are among the most experienced in the region. Onboard, 16 passengers are accommodated in 8 private en-suite guest cabins, each featuring two twin beds or one king-size bed, a wardrobe, a mirrored cabinet, and marine-safe toiletries. The Galapagos Sky liveaboard is fully air-conditioned and offers ample space for rest and relaxation. The main salon features an audio/video entertainment center and a separate dining area where Ecuadorian and international cuisine is served. Dining service is ‘fine’ plated, and beverages, including beer and wine, and a full bar, are included. The top deck is home to loungers for relaxing in between dives or stargazing in the evening.
Galapagos dive itineraries are 7 nights long and include up to 19 dives, weather permitting. Dives at Wolf and Darwin are the highlight of the trip, and 3 days will be spent here with the chance to see whale sharks, mantas, and schooling hammerhead sharks. There are also land excursions included to experience everything the Galapagos Islands have to offer. The dive deck features warm, fresh-water showers, and hot towels are provided after every dive. Diving from tenders makes getting to and from the dive site hassle-free.

incredible vessel to explore the galapagos
Great food and best service I have ever received on a liveaboard. Almost all crew is on the dive deck helping people gear up, which is a challenge with all the thick layers, hoods, gloves etc. The crew delivered the cameras and fins to the pangas at departure and collected everything from the pangas upon returning. The crew helped us unpeel all the thermal protection and then rinsed and hung it up to dry for later. The also rinsed our cameras.

Dream achieved. Thank you, Galapagos Sky.
I really enjoyed my time aboard the Galapagos Sky. They ran a good program from the moment we reached the airport to the time of departure. You can expect great comfort, terrific support on the dive deck from the crew, tasty meals, devoted guides, and high overall quality of everything from rental gear to attention to customer satisfaction.

Nothing short of spectacular
The Galapagos Sky was a truly splendid experience, offering unparalleled encounters with an astonishing array of marine life. The waters revealed a mesmerizing underwater world teeming with vibrant coral reefs, playful sea lions, majestic schooling hammerhead sharks, and whale sharks. Each dive brought thrilling sightings of colorful fish schools, graceful manta rays, and even some of the more elusive species not commonly encountered. The pristine beauty and biodiversity of the Galapagos marine reserve made every moment underwater a breathtaking adventure, leaving a lasting impression of the raw, untouched magnificence of this unique archipelago.

Best dive adventure ever!
Our dive experience on the Galapagos Sky was second to none. The crew was absolutely fantastic. Let’s talk about the diving first. All of the dives were great and we saw tons of things we’ve never dove with before, including tons of sharks, including Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks, Galapagos sharks, white tips, black tips, and silver tips. Huge sharks by the hundred. We also dove with marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins, sea lions, fur seals, large tunas, and Mola Mola. It was all unbelievable and the guides knew where to find all of the good stuff. When your dive is done, the crew greets you by helping you out of your dive gear and a fresh warm drink and some treat. Then its a warm shower on the fantail and the crew gets your gear ready for the next dive while you relive your experiences with your fellow passengers. Enrique (Quique) and Max were our guides and they were both outstanding. You could not ask for better more knowledgeable guides. The boat itself was quite comfortable and the internet worked surprisingly good. The AC did break down one day and it got hot but the crew worked to the best of their ability to get it fixed. The food onboard was excellent and there was always a choice of what you wanted. The cooks and the server were all first rate. They also asked us out the outset if we had any dietary restrictions and a couple member of our party did have issues but the crew took excellent care of them. Our family trip was a bucket list trip and it definitely was just that. I would unreservedly recommend the Galapagos Sky to anyone considering a live aboard to the Galapagos and I’m sure we’ll be back.

World Class Diving with a World Class Crew
The Galapagos Sky is an exceptionally run and maintained ship. The crew sincerely makes every effort to provide for every need before you ask. Safety is of paramount importance. You arrive as a guest but feel like family. Diving face to face with more than a dozen whale sharks of massive size was definitely one of the many highlights. Of course it wouldn't feel like the Galapagos without schools of migrating hammerhead sharks. Even more than 20 mola mola in a single dive! The crew also was exceptionally helpful and careful with my expensive camera equipment. Gourmet dining and libations were the icing on the cake. I plan to return to the Galapagos Islands and will certainly be on the Galapagos Sky!

Hee Haw. Return to Galapagos Dive Trip was Amazing.
We completed 15 of the 21 dives offered and we saw huge numbers of fish. It was like being dropped into a massive aquarium. At Wolf dive site there were large numbers of turtles, sharks, hammerheads, sea lions, and more. At Darwin we had 3 different Whale Sharks interact with us. Overall, some of the best large animal sightings of any dive trip we have been on. This dive boat is TOP NOTCH, FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY.
