Trip Description

Discover the wonders of the fascinating underwater realm on an unforgettable tropical marine biology voyage. Our catamaran yacht is our home, classroom, lab and transportation as we explore world renowned marine parks and amazing coral reefs. Learning is hands-on, challenging and fun. Living aboard a yacht gives us the freedom and flexibility to discover the unparalleled diversity of ecosystems found in the Caribbean's Leeward Islands, from fringing and artificial reefs to dramatic pinnacles and sheer walls. Under the guidance of marine biologists, learn everything from oceanography to marine ecology and animal behavior. How do fish sleep? Why do they school? What is a cleaning station? How does coral grow? Through active, experiential learning complemented by field surveys, REEF data collection and marine service projects, we investigate the magical underwater world — the ultimate real world classroom!
