Our New Platform

Connecting SeaKeepers’ participants is key to facilitating programming and we are delighted to launch a new tool in 2021 to unite our various partners through the

DISCOVERY Vessel Portal

SeaKeepers is proud of its current member fleet that has supported programming around the globe. However, to match continued demand for oceanographic research and education at sea, we are always in need of more vessels. The new DISCOVERY Vessel Portal makes it easy for scientists to submit proposals and check out current vessels for research. Vessel owners are also able to learn more about programming and join the DISCOVERY Yacht Fleet.   Begin your search for an ideal vessel, or become a DISCOVERY Yacht Member today! Click here to visit the vessel portal now.

Yacht Donation Program: DISCOVERY Yacht SuRi

SeaKeepers is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Motoryacht SuRi, "the world's most adventurous SuperYacht." As one of very few purpose-built luxury yachts in the world, SuRi is available for private yacht charters and will be supporting our DISCOVERY Yacht Program, as a marine science research vessel.
