ABOUT THE LIVEABOARD
Known locally as Deep Blue, Galapagos Master is a 32 meter scuba diving liveaboard vessel which underwent a complete interior refit to the highest standards in 2015. Constructed from steel, the vessel is steadier than most due to being designed to be lower to aid stability and speed. Mostly recently refurbished in early 2023, Galapagos Master offers 7 and 10 night itineraries covering some of the top dive sites in the Galapagos.
She welcomes a total of 16 divers on each liveaboard trip, maximizing safety and comfort for all guests on board. Featuring eight air-conditioned cabins spread across three decks, each has its own private en-suite bathroom with hot water, and ample storage room for all of your personal belongings. For added convenience and flexibility, Galapagos Master offers some cabins that can be used either as a twin or as a double bedded room.
The communal areas include a spacious indoor lounge on the middle deck where guests can relax and unwind while watching their favourite movie, or their latest underwater shots, on the plasma screen television. The indoor dining area brings a tantalizing array of mouth-watering meals, complimented by the adjacent cocktail bar. Photographers can take full advantage of the indoor camera set-up station which includes multiple charging points (US round pin plug). Additional storage drawers to the aft of the vessel mean that even photography charter groups will have no problem finding enough space for their equipment.
Galapagos Master’s top sun-deck ensures that sun worshippers can top up their tan while soaking up the Galapagos sights. Or, for those who prefer to relax out of the sun, the shaded upper level is an ideal location to chill out in cushioned lounge chairs and benches.
The boat has an official license to operate and organize diving activities in the Galapagos issued by the Ecuadorian government and the National Institute of the Galapagos ensuring you that all the safety tests have been passed as well as complying with the strict environmental rules of the park. With all the latest safety devices – GPS, VHF radios, satellite communication, two life rafts, emergency oxygen and AED – you will know you are traveling in total protection and safety.
