The cream Monique catamaran at anchor off a green, rocky coastline under a cloudy blue sky

Monique

Luxury Powered by the Sun

Monique is one of the newest catamarans sailing the Galapagos, redefining luxury and sustainability in the archipelago. Its sleek twin-hulled design ensures a smooth, stable cruise, free from the rocking often felt on older vessels.

Built for small-group expeditions, Monique welcomes just 16 guests with a one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, so every need is met throughout the voyage. Certified Galapagos National Park naturalist guides lead each excursion, making it a wonderful choice for multi-generational travel.

Expert chefs prepare epicurean cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, with buffet breakfasts and lunches and sit-down dinners al fresco on the Sky Deck. Spacious staterooms with panoramic windows offer a tranquil retreat, and a Golden Single Stateroom is the perfect complement for small groups and families.

Powered in part by solar panels and lithium battery systems, Monique minimizes its environmental impact without compromising on comfort. As part of the women-led Golden Galapagos fleet, every voyage is thoughtfully curated and impactful.

Why we like this ship

Imagine gliding quietly between the islands, with clean energy doing much of the work while you watch the landscape drift by your window. Dinners under the open sky, easy conversation with a small group of fellow explorers, and a crew that knows your preferences by the second day make Monique feel personal from the moment you step aboard. It’s luxury that feels good in every sense, for you and for the islands.
