The Galapagos Master previously operated as the Deep Blue before being bought and renovated for the Master Liveaboard fleet in 2014. The refit was supervised by the experienced yacht builders of Worldwide Dive and Sail, Jan & Frank van der Linde, who have also brought you the Siren Fleet. 

With a steel hull and a cruising speed of 12,5 knots, not only is M/V Galapagos Master a superbly appointed boat, she is also the most eco-friendly liveboard operating in the Galapagos Islands.

She has 9 well-appointed modern cabins with en-suite facilities, a spacious interior and generous outside space for relaxation and dive gear preparation. The cabins are divided over 2 decks. Our 16 guests have a choice of fixed doubles, fixed twins and convertible double/twin cabins.
