About Ocean Voyages
Our Mission
Ocean Voyages’ mission is to enable people throughout the world – at all levels of skill – to participate in adventure sailing, scuba diving, and luxury yachting programs with high quality captains and vessels. Over the last years, Ocean Voyages has expanded into being a full service maritime agency, with a wide range of adventure travel and educational programs, full charter service, film project support, boat location, program design and referral services.
The staff of Ocean Voyages represents an invaluable resource in providing professional advice to maritime projects and program design services for educational programs at sea. Ocean Voyages’ experts can help you make very faraway places feel like home.
About Ocean Voyages
Ocean Voyages was founded by Mary T. Crowley in 1979 and first offered adventure sailing to our customers aboard twenty-four boats. Today, Ocean Voyages works with hundreds of vessels to provide an unparalleled range of activities and locations throughout the world. The staff of Ocean Voyages inspect all of the vessels we work with, and often have close personal and professional relationships with the crews.
Ocean Voyages Institute
Ocean Voyages works to help preserve and clean the world’s oceans through its non-profit sister organization, the Ocean Voyages Institute. It is a non-profit organization (501 C3) founded in 1979 by a group of international sailors, educators, and conservationists with a mission to raise awareness about the importance of ocean conservation and to take action to clean up and protect the global ocean. The Institute is dedicated to providing sail training opportunity to youth on a worldwide basis as well as providing access to the ocean world and educational programs.
In 2009, Project Kaisei was established to increase the understanding and the scale of plastic marine debris, its impact on our ocean environment, and how we can introduce solutions for both prevention and clean-up. It is imperative to stop the flow of marine litter and toxins into our oceans. It is equally necessary to begin significant cleanup efforts, both coastally and in the Gyres, in order to help to restore the ocean’s ecosystems and preserve our global ocean for future generations.
