Aqua Nera
Launched in May 2019, the completely refurbished and brand new Calipso is a 100 feet length yacht with a modern design. She has ten cabins to transport 16 passengers in style, safety and comfort. These stylish cabins are beautifully equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing sail throughout the Galapagos. The cabins are configurated for single or double accommodation, with a full private bathroom each. There are six cabins located on the upper deck, two cabins on the main deck and two on the lower deck.
The Calipso’s design, equipment, and staff will provide the passenger with the confidence about traveling safe and relaxed while sailing and/or diving. The yacht includes Internet, bar, air conditioning (inside cabins and closed common areas), audio and video circuit in each cabin, covered and open living area (including sun deck and barbecue). Divers will love the new air/nitrox fill station and large diving platform.
There is the high voltage diving at Darwin and Wolf Islands on the dive itinerary. Hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, Silky sharks and Whale sharks in season. Darwin and Wolf put Galapagos on the map for divers.
Divers can begin to take ‘another school of hammerheads’ for granted (true), so like most Galapagos liveaboards, we also dive the western sites. Punta Vicente Roca is a Mola Mola cleaning station, is rich in species and perhaps has the most coral in all Galapagos. Cabo (Spanish for Cape) Marshall is a dependable site for giant Mantas. At Cabo Douglas, you dive with Marine Iguanas and Penguins while they feed. Cousins, our final dive, is in the Central Islands. All Galapagos liveaboard itineraries are a minimum of 7 nights due to the distance of the remote sites we dive.
Calipso Galapagos alternates weeks between diving and naturalist cruises. The vast majority of visitors in Galapagos are here for the unique flora and fauna that exists on land or by the shore. Imagine wildlife that has not yet learned to fear people!
The full 8 Day / 7 Night itinerary can be done before or after your dive cruise. You won’t have to unpack for 2 weeks!
The 5 Day / 4 Night itinerary can be done after your dive cruise. The 4 Day / 3 Night itinerary can be done before your dive cruise.
