Our New Ship, The Sylvia Earle

Our new ship honors ‘Her Deepness’, the acclaimed marine biologist, oceanographer, explorer and conservationist Dr. Sylvia Earle. As the first female chief scientist of the US National Oceanic, and Atmospheric Administration, and named by TIME Magazine as its first Hero for the Planet in 1998 – this vessel pays tribute to Sylvia’s profound conservation efforts for protected marine areas and wildlife.
