Our Vessel: We are currently raising funds to purchase our dream boat!

Ocean's Dream is currently in the process of sourcing a vessel on which to host our programs. Our ideal boat is an ocean-capable schooner on which we could sail all over the globe! We have a very special boat in mind, but before we can consider placing an offer on it we will first need to raise funds.

Once we have a vessel, our programs will sail with a professional crew of two Coast Guard licensed officers and a student complement of up to 6 individuals.  

The Crew: Professional Mariners and Scientists

Our sailing crew is USCG licensed and our science team is trained in cutting edge ocean science and education.  Learn more about our leadership with the button below. 

The Mission

Ocean’s Dream builds personal, societal, and ocean resilience by offering sailing research expeditions between islands and coastal communities in the Pacific Ocean. By listening to local populations, we create solutions together.  We provide scientific and educational opportunities for ecosystem monitoring and protections of marine and cultural resources.  During the sailing voyage, passengers participate in sail training, standing watch, communication and leadership skill workshops.
Ocean’s Dreams provides an opportunity to explore personal uncharted territory. Whether that means experiencing sailing and science for the first time or expanding upon prior knowledge, we offer a platform for anybody to come and gain an appreciation for our natural and native world through ocean adventures, community science, and engagement with local communities.
Our passengers will be provided with a platform and community to push their boundaries, connect with others, and learn multidisciplinary skills. What they aim to gain from our voyages is an open ocean of opportunity.
