Named after legendary marine biologist, oceanographer, explorer and author, the Sylvia Earle pays tribute to its namesake’s long standing commitment to conservation and the protection of ocean wildlife.
At the cutting edge of nautical technology, the Sylvia Earle is a robust and powerful vessel with an Ulstein X-BOW that adds extra stability and makes for a quicker transit through the waves. A glass atrium lounge inside the bow boasts views to the front of the ship and a state-of-the-art lecture theatre allows you to hear experts talk about culture, biology and wildlife.
There is a peaceful library with floor-to-ceiling windows that offers travel journals, novels, a selection of children’s books and board games. Watch the world go by from one of the two al fresco jacuzzis or the heated outdoor saltwater pool, or experience the gym, sauna or wellness centre.
Featuring industry-leading safety technology that exceeds the requirements for a ship of this size, the Sylvia Earle boasts a fully-stocked medical clinic designed for use in remote areas and could even maintain operating systems and comfort in the event of engine failure. One of the world’s lowest polluting marine engines with impressively high fuel-efficiency, the ship uses a combination of GPS, steering technology, propellers and thrusters to protect the sea floor and minimise the damage caused by conventional anchors. The Sylvia Earle offers a range of add-on adventure activities from kayaking and ski touring to climbing and diving, and there are four dedicated sea-level zodiac launching platforms that make boarding the zodiacs quick and efficient.
