DISCOVERY Yacht Program 

The SeaKeepers’ DISCOVERY Yacht Program is their foremost initiative in accomplishing their mission and goals, involving many different types of vessels which participate in the program and comprise the fleet. The program’s existence is through the generous support of private vessels which are made available for at-sea research, citizen science, education, and community engagement, fostering collaborations with organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies.

SeaKeepers partners with yacht and boat owners to conduct scientific research and educational outreach tailored to their area of interests. Join the DISCOVERY Fleet by visiting SEAKEEPERS.ORG
