Our boat was refurbished in 1999, owned  ( and captained ) by Rolf Wittmer, who was the first documented birth ( Jan. 1933 ) on the Galapagos islands. It can accommodate 16 visitors but on this occasion there were only 12 of us on board. All cabins had air conditioning and en-suite facilities. A photographic record of the boat is available from the thumbnails below.

Tip Top II at anchor in Baltra.   We wave goodbye to our friends who are staying for a second week.           The bridge is modern and well equipped.   The lounge area with comfortable seating. Briefing for shore visits are given each evening.           The dining area is spacious with large windows.   Whiteboard and video system ensure we are well prepared before each visit.           Carlos our barman and dining room steward   Another view of the dining area.           Cabin Number 8.
