Galapagos Aggressor I

The liveaboard Galapagos Aggressor I has been operating as the premier liveaboard dive yacht in the Galapagos Islands since 1993. This yacht was custom designed, built and equipped to offer a safe and luxury dive operation.

When you step off the plane in Galapagos, you are entering a magical world. The wonders of Galapagos will unfold before your eyes during the Thursday to Thursday adventure. The on-board, multi-lingual guides will share their in-depth knowledge of these volcanic islands. Diving on the liveaboard begins Friday and ends Wednesday morning. Three islands will be explored through land tours during the week. Snorkeling and bird watching excursions are also conducted between dives.

Every liveaboard Galapagos Aggressor I & II charter includes thrilling shark dives at remote Wolf and Darwin Islands. Beginner divers may find Galapagos diving challenging. Thursday morning check-out is 8:00 a.m. The liveaboard Galapagos Aggressors operate out of San Cristobal year round. The port of departure does not affect the diving or land tour itinerary. The port of departure is determined by the Galapagos National Park.

The liveaboard Galapagos Aggressor has taken one more giant step to ensure quality control for guests and the environment. The Galapagos Aggressor I and II passed their ISO (International Standards Organization) ratings last December and became a recognized ISO (9001:2000 and 14001:2004) agency as of February 2006. What is ISO? ISO is recognicion given to companies worldwide that have taken the extra steps to offer quality assurance, safety and reliability. ISO 9001 applies to managment and staff in regards to product assurance in everything from equipment being up to date and in good condition to the quality of the food received by the chef. The certification for the ISO 14001 makes the boats environmentally friendly. For example, the liveaboard vessels have substituted the importation of large amounts of bottled water in return for the gallon jugs. This prevents bringing in excessive amounts of plastic into an area where recylcing is still in a pioneering stage.

Guests now receive a complimentary water bottle at the begining of their trip to use for the rest of the week while on the vessel or the landhikes. At the end of their trip they may take it home with them as a gift. The process for the ISO certification took one year and it involved not only the liveaboard Galapagos Aggressor office and boat staff but efforts from the service providers as well. Take a cruise on the Galapagos Aggressors...and be a part of an environmentally friendly and safe operation and a boat that aims to please.
