The SeaKeepers DISCOVERY Yacht Program matches private vessel owners with scientists to support ocean research and education. By donating time aboard their vessels, owners enable vital marine work at no cost to the researchers.
Owners can join the activities, gain tax benefits, and be recognized through SeaKeepers. Participation ranges from brief deployments to multi-day expeditions. Since 2014, our DISCOVERY Fleet has supported hundreds of missions worldwide, advancing ocean conservation.
These are also smaller-scale research initiatives performed by DISCOVERY Fleet owners, crews, and their guests. They don’t require scientists to be aboard, but they still make important contributions to ongoing research projects all over the world.
Community participation like this is essential, and the variety of opportunities include instrument deployment, sample collection, and wildlife observations.
