The Nina no longer
operates in Galapagos. Please choose another one of our deluxe
yachts...
Nina
is the first of the brand new Kat-700 luxury catamaran series
and is the most modern vessel in the Galapagos Islands. Her
speed, comfort, luxurious interiors and excellent itinerary make
Nina perfect for your
Galapagos Cruise Adventure. All cabins boast the luxury of a
private balcony and the new stability system ensures the
smoothest of rides.
The new design of the MC Nina
surpasses all rivals. She is the fastest, sleekest,
longest and most stable catamaran cruising the Islands.
We care for the world we live in and minimize
our environmental impact. The fiber-reinforced polymer composite
materials used in the Kat-700 catamaran drastically reduce
structural weight. In addition, the multi-hull and new bulbous bow
design allows her to glide across the water and significantly reduce
hull drag, making NINA the most fuel efficient vessel in the
Galapagos Islands. No matter how efficient the design, our operation
will involve some carbon emissions. In association with
Canopyco
we have completely offset our carbon footprint through reforestation
projects in the Ecuadorian Andes. In fact, we go even further. We
always make sure that we plant extra trees making your Galapagos
Cruise not just CARBON NEUTRAL but actually CARBON
POSITIVE!
Special Amenities
Guests have the choice of eating in the elegant indoor
dining area or outside in al-fresco style. Nina boasts a
comfortable lounge area and library complete with plasma
TVs, lap tops, DVD player and stereo. The upper deck has a
well-stocked bar and a beautiful open teak deck area for
relaxation, dining and barbeques. The huge sundeck features
the Jacuzzi and is great for watching whales and dolphins or
to simply relax and soak up the sun between island
excursions. In the evenings there is no better place for
star gazing.
Dining & Bar
There is a varied menu onboard, including international
cuisines and exotic tropical fruits, designed to accommodate
a variety of dietary needs including vegetarians. Light
snacks, tea and coffee are served between meals. Water and
sodas are complimentary.
There is a fully
stocked bar on board offering a range of fine wines,
cocktails, spirits and other alcoholic beverages.
