NEMO I – GALAPAGOS NATURALIST LIVEABOARD WITH OPTIONAL DIVING
M/SC Nemo I is a 14-passenger sailing catamaran, designed and built in France by Dufour & Sparks, and completely renovated/refurbished in 2014. Interconnected hulls provide more stability, and greatly prevent rolling. According to its builders this Nautitech 82 catamaran is unsinkable, thanks to the use of buoyant materials such as fiberglass and polyurethane. And equally important in a fragile place like the Galapagos, Nemo I is not only the fastest sailing catamaran, but also the most environmentally-friendly yacht cruising the islands. In comparison to 16-passenger yachts, this sailing catamaran consumes a third of the fuel, and thanks to its hydrodynamic form and shallow draft Nemo I is the fastest sailing catamaran in Galapagos, with a formidable cruising speed of 10 knots (18.5 km/hour), which can even be boosted up to 14 knots (26 km/hour) when using wind and motor power together.
Whilst the stable cabins are quite small, with a terrace, a sundeck, nets, and indoor and outdoor communal areas, there is plenty of space to relax in between activities.
ItinerariesThere are 4 itineraries to choose from, making it possible to combination cruises up to 14 nights long.
