A vessel built entirely for learning at sea, carrying students, educators, and curious minds across the living waters of Asia.
Step aboardSea Tiger carries that classroom across Asian waters — from the South China Sea to the Coral Triangle — turning every voyage into a hands-on encounter with marine science, sustainable seamanship, and the cultures who call the sea home.
She is the dedicated education flagship of OceanVines: not a converted research vessel, but a purpose-built platform for immersive learning, designed around students, educators, and the communities we serve.
Sea Tiger is a 120-foot dedicated education vessel — equipped not for deep-ocean research, but for something equally vital: bringing young people into direct, sustained contact with the sea. Open decks become open-air classrooms. The galley becomes a lab on blue carbon. The bridge becomes a master class in seamanship.
Modular workstations for water sampling, microscopy, and citizen-science recording in real ocean conditions.
Hybrid power and rigging that doubles as a teaching tool for low-impact, ocean-positive yachting.
Stern-launched RIB and dive ladder for safe, supervised access to reef and mangrove sites throughout Asia.
A capable studio for students to produce films, podcasts, and field journals at sea — creating the next generation of ocean storytellers.
A two-week immersion for students aged 15–19, building marine literacy, fieldwork skills, and lifelong networks across Asia's coastal communities.
Hands-on seamanship taught through the lens of low-impact sailing — navigation, sail handling, and the ethics of operating in fragile marine ecosystems.
Field-based modules on mangroves, seagrass meadows, and the carbon they hold — co-taught with regional scientists and Indigenous knowledge holders.
Intensive voyages for university students and early-career professionals exploring ocean policy, finance, and the future of the blue economy.
Short voyages designed for classroom teachers — practical curriculum, fieldwork techniques, and resources to bring the ocean home to their schools.
Sea Tiger sails to underserved coastal communities — open-deck workshops, marine literacy days, and storytelling exchanges with local youth.
Curriculum rooted in the seas, species, and cultures of our region — taught on the water, not from a textbook.
Knot, sample, dive, log. We start every concept with action — and let understanding follow the salt on the skin.
Every learner leaves with a network — scientists, sailors, conservationists — to carry their next step forward.
We don't just teach about the ocean. We teach how to live with it — through choices, daily habits, and lifelong commitment.
From Sai Kung's geoparks to the pink-dolphin waters of Lantau — discovering the wild ocean hidden beside one of the world's densest cities.
Tracing migratory routes, fishing grounds and reef systems across one of the most contested — and biologically rich — seas on Earth.
Voyages through the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia — exploring the global epicentre of marine biodiversity alongside local stewards.
Where rivers meet the sea — a study of estuaries, mangroves and the communities whose lives are woven into the tide.
Following the Kuroshio along Taiwan and southern Japan — a future-facing voyage planned in partnership with regional universities.
Students rotate onto the bridge for first light, learning to read wind, swell, and chart in real conditions before breakfast on the foredeck.
Plankton tows, water-quality kits, and reef surveys feed live data into student notebooks — and into open citizen-science platforms.
Afternoons turn the saloon into a seminar — debating policy, decoding a paper, sketching a campaign for their home coastline.
Evenings end on deck — celestial navigation, oral histories of Asian seafaring, and quiet reflection beneath the Milky Way.
I came aboard Sea Tiger to learn about the ocean. I left understanding what kind of person I want to become.Mei-Lin C. · Young Ocean Ambassador, Cohort 04
