Programmdetails

Arrival Day: Boarding takes place every Monday at 4:00 PM. On arrival day, there are no sea outings, and researchers are on board to welcome participants. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the boat and the surroundings and can take the opportunity to rest after the long journey on one of the beaches near the port. Once all participants are on board and settled, introductions are made, and all onboard living and safety rules are explained. Detailed explanations about the project, research (study area, present species, and their biology, etc.) follow.

Cetacean Monitoring Outings: Participants live aboard the research vessel, which primarily sails. During the stay, days are dedicated to research activities, and each participant contributes to fieldwork. Sea outings occur daily (excluding arrival and departure days). Routes are planned to cover the entire study area

Aktivitäten & Schichten

Participants and researchers commit to observation duties in watch shifts, with two observers alternating in one-hour shifts to report the presence of marine life; in addition to whales and dolphins, sightings of sea turtles, tunas, swordfish, sunfish, rays, schools of fish, and seabirds are recorded. The acoustic system is capable of detecting dolphin sounds within a radius of about 3 miles: when a signal is detected, it is possible to determine the direction and approach the animals. At night, we usually return to the dock in the port. Sometimes, we spend the night anchored in the bay, and if the research requires it, we may also spend the night at sea.

Regeln

We remind you that life on board a sailing vessel is a choice: a simple, communal, and eco-compatible lifestyle conserving energy and resources.
There is very little privacy, even behind the curtains of the cabins.
Nevertheless, the spaces are large enough, and the sea and the sky will offer you unlimited horizons; each watching shift will give you the possibility to taste the peace of sailing.
