Ocean Spray

Contact us

Ocean Spray catamaran accommodates 16 passengers in eight large cabins, all of which offer interchangeable twin or double accommodation with large windows and panoramic sliding glass doors leading to private balconies.

With some interconnecting rooms, the vessel is a great option for those seeking a family holiday sailing around the Galapagos Islands. There are also two smaller single cabins on the upper deck with their own balcony, suited for solo travellers. The boat is stylishly furnished and on board facilities include a sky deck with sun loungers and a jacuzzi. Indoor and al fresco dining and bar areas, a barbeque space and a spacious lounge round up the facilities.

Why we like Ocean Spray

It doesn’t matter which cabin you occupy onboard Ocean Spray as they are all bright and spacious and have the added luxury of a private balcony – a real treat if you fancy some quiet time to read, without missing out on the fabulous views.

Activities

Guests can enjoy daily guided shore excursions, with top naturalists which include optional water activities ranging from swimming to snorkelling, kayaking and paddle-boarding, as well as exploration by zodiacs. The guide’s wealth of knowledge continues onboard via a range of enriching presentations.

Cruises

Ocean Spray operates three, four and seven night cruises.

Sustainability

Ocean Spray prioritises support for local suppliers and paying fair wages to their crew ensuring local families a better quality of life. They are also working hard to ensure their operations within the Galapagos are as sustainable as possible and their actions have a positive impact. Cruising on Ocean Spray will directly benefit projects including a student scholarships initiative for low-income children in the Galapagos Islands and the mainland, a project for the reforestation of the islands, and a foundation that cares for species and promotes the correct development of life within the Galapagos.

Roxy was excellent at knowing what we needed from our family trip to the Galapagos Islands. Despite booking it with little time to spare, everything was seamlessly arranged with very little effort from us.

What a wonderful trip. I especially enjoyed snorkelling with playful sea lions, swimming with penguins, seeing a huge manta ray and spotting the occasional shark.
