For more than twenty years, I have been passionate about showing travelers the magic of the Galapagos Islands. Through our first vessel, the Monserrat, I\u2019ve had the privilege of welcoming guests from all over the world and witnessing their awe as they experienced this one-of-a-kind destination. The Monserrat has been more than a cruise \u2014 it has been my school. Through years of operations, I learned what makes a journey unforgettable, what comforts travelers value most, and where the true potential of luxury in the Galapagos still remained untapped.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That vision led to Hermes \u2014 our new multi-hull superyacht \u2014 and today, she is finally real.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;\">A Superyacht Designed from Scratch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6454 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vianatura.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/owner-suite-hermes-galapagos.jpg\" alt=\"Owner Suite Hermes Galapagos Mega Catamaran\" width=\"980\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vianatura.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/owner-suite-hermes-galapagos.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vianatura.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/owner-suite-hermes-galapagos-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vianatura.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/owner-suite-hermes-galapagos-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vianatura.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/owner-suite-hermes-galapagos-600x389.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start;\">\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My wife and I were personally involved the interior design, aiming for a balance of contemporary luxury and warm, handcrafted details.
