How it Works for Yachts

1. Register: Yachts can register anytime to be part of the Yachts for Science database.

2. Match: When a suitable scientific project becomes available, we reach out to arrange a mission that fits your schedule.

3. Coordinate: Projects are either matched with available yachts immediately or held in reserve until the right vessel becomes available.

4. Connect: We connect the lead scientist with your yacht team to coordinate the logistics and prepare for the expedition.

5. Set Sail: Once a match is confirmed, both parties sign a disclaimer, and the mission is ready to commence.

Be a part of:

Meaningful Philanthropy: Contribute to marine research and give yacht ownership an enhanced and powerful purpose. By supporting conservation and discovery, owners help safeguard the future of our ocean.
Educational Opportunities: Hosting scientists onboard provides owners, their families, and crew with the chance to learn about marine life, ecosystems, and conservation science firsthand, creating a shared and inspiring experience.
Scientific Legacy: Be part of significant discoveries, from new species to groundbreaking ecological insight, contributing to global scientific understanding and policy decisions. All participating yachts are acknowledged and credited in scientific outputs and publications
Credible, High-Quality Projects: Work only with vetted, reputable, and well-funded research projects, endorsed by leading marine scientists like Dr. Lucy Woodall from The University of Exeter
Community and Open-Source Approach: Each project integrates local community involvement, ensuring research findings are developed with and shared with host nations, benefiting broader conservation efforts.

Exclusive Access to Remote Areas: Access unique, restricted regions permitted only to scientific teams, offering extraordinary exploration opportunities.
Co-authorship: All participating yachts are acknowledged and credited in scientific outputs and publications.
Impact on Crew Engagement: Involve your crew in meaningful research, boosting their professional development and enhancing retention in a high-net-worth environment.
Positive Media Exposure: Gain visibility for your vessel and the science program through features in BOAT International and its prominent social media channels.
Exclusive Invitations: Receive invitations to exclusive events like BOAT International’s Ocean Talks at the Magazine Room in London and the Explorer Yacht Summit in Monaco.
