For Researchers:
Expanding Scientific Horizons
Conducting field research in remote coastal environments presents logistical and financial challenges. Our expedition sailboat provides a cost-effective, flexible solution—offering researchers a unique platform to collect data, test equipment, and engage with the public while navigating Norway's stunning yet hard-to-reach marine ecosystems.
A mobile research platform designed for exploration, collaboration, and impact.
Expand Research Opportunities
Research is often constrained by limited research budgets. By integrating tourism-supported science, our platform provides an alternative funding model that helps cover other costs. Researchers can leverage guest participation fees to offset other expenses, ensuring that more time is spent on discovery rather than securing grants.
Access Remote Locations
Norway's coastline, islands, and fjords present unique research opportunities, but accessibility is often a barrier. Our sailboat serves as a mobile base, allowing scientists to conduct studies in locations that would otherwise be too costly or logistically difficult to reach. From marine biodiversity monitoring to climate impact assessments, our vessel provides a stable, well-equipped field station for a range of scientific disciplines.
Collaborate Across Disciplines
Science thrives on collaboration. Our expeditions bring together researchers from various fields, fostering interdisciplinary studies and knowledge exchange. Whether you're an ecologist, oceanographer, biologist, or climate scientist, our platform enables joint research efforts that maximize efficiency and impact.
Engage in Public Outreach
Science is most impactful when shared. Our expeditions provide an opportunity for researchers to communicate their work directly to an engaged audience of eco-conscious travelers. Through hands-on participation and discussions, guests gain a deeper appreciation for environmental science, fostering public support for research and conservation.
Test and Develop Equipment
The challenging conditions of Norway's marine environment offer an excellent setting for testing and refining scientific equipment. Researchers and technology developers can use our expeditions to trial new monitoring tools, sampling devices, and field methodologies in real-world conditions.
Enhance Conservation Impact
By conducting research aboard a vessel dedicated to eco-tourism and conservation, scientists contribute directly to efforts aimed at protecting marine and coastal ecosystems. The data collected supports conservation initiatives and informs sustainable management strategies, ensuring that research has a tangible, lasting impact.
Who Can Join?
We welcome collaborations with universities, research institutions, NGOs, and independent scientists. Whether you need a cost-effective field station, a platform for public engagement, or an opportunity to test new research methodologies, our expeditions provide the infrastructure and support to make your work possible.
