Maritime operator
With our science-equipped sailboat, we offer a low-carbon, low-cost, silent and flexible way for the scientific community to conduct deep-sea collection, deployment and observation missions.
The advantages of oceanography under sail
Economic
The daily sea cost is a fraction of the rate of a motor boat. The autonomy of the velvet propulsion allows to navigate in remote maritime areas
Flexible
The size of our sailboat and the agility of our structure allow us to set up missions quickly in coordination with the project leaders and to share different scientific projects
Clean
Sailing respects the environment by avoiding any polluting discharge in the water or in the air and allows the collection of uncontaminated microbiological samples
Silent
The acoustic impact of a sailboat is very limited and avoids disturbing the marine fauna. This allows us to carry out large mammal observation missions in ideal conditions
Our fields of action
The physics of the ocean
Deployment and recovery of probes and instruments that collect surface and deep water data essential for weather and climate forecasting
The microscopic world
Collection of aquatic and aerosol samples to increase knowledge of marine microorganisms that play a key role in biodiversity and climate
Marine fauna
Study of marine megafauna to better understand and preserve it, and to support the creation and improve the management of marine protected areas
Pollutants
Collecting samples to assess the level of plastic pollution in the ocean and the consequences on marine ecosystems
