Connecting research, education, and safety.
Our work shape through three core projects, each addressing a different aspect of our mission. We advance low-emission research at sea, empower local communities through hands-on learning, and contribute to search and rescue efforts for migrants at sea. These initiatives reflect our commitment to creating a practical, collaborative impact between our association and the communities that look to the sea as a source of work and culture.
Research Vessel
A publicly owned asset designed as a sailing small workboat, built developing skills in a remote coastal community.
Become a partner now to integrate engineering features and guarantee your organization a highly competitive, low-emission platform with a social return for your future offshore operations.
Youth Boatyard
This initiative offers a free school of nautical carpentry, sailing, and boat management for youth in the port of Rabo de Peixe, on São Miguel Island, Azores.
A pop-up shipyard where participants will build lightweight marine plywood sailing dinghies. Aimed for youth aged 16 to 30, the program is developed in close collaboration with local institutions.
Search and Rescue (SAR)
As an association of sea lovers, the safety of life at sea is our common ground.
In 2024, the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Missing Migrants Project recorded nearly 9,000 deaths along migratory routes, making it the deadliest year on record. Driven by this crisis and experience, we fund raise to deploy our research vessel also on campaigns to support migrant Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. We aim to operate across multiple affected routes, strictly adhering to the international conventions that regulate maritime safety of life.
