WHAT WE DO

We design multipurpose vessels for explorers

Project SailXplorer merges functionality and advanced naval engineering with sustainability and comfort, to support a wide scope of expeditions:

  • Citizen-science expeditions
  • Scuba-diving operations
  • ROV / AUV / manned submersible deployment
  • Scientific research campaigns
  • Film crew deployment
  • Maritime archaeology
  • Educative programs
  • Treasure hunting
  • Relief missions
