Our Vision 我們的願景

A world where Asia's oceans and humanity thrive together in true reciprocity.

The ocean is in a dire state — but it doesn't have to be. We are on a mission to unlock the sustainable potential of Asia's oceans through immersive education aboard Sea Tiger, shaping a flourishing future for our blue planet and the communities who call it home.

From the harbours of Hong Kong to the heart of the Coral Triangle, every voyage trains the next generation of ocean leaders — and the partners, scientists, and storytellers who will sail with them.

Our Conviction 信念

Every coastline a classroom. Every community a steward. Every generation more connected to the sea than the last.

Learning that happens in the water, not behind glass.

Empowering Asian communities to protect the seas they love.

Restoring mangroves, seagrass and coral as our climate allies.

Asian leadership for Asian waters — from Hong Kong outward.

Our Vessel 海虎號

Sea Tiger

120 ft · Hong Kong · Education Only

Sea Tiger is more than a yacht. She is a purpose-built platform for immersive learning — carrying students, scientists, sailors and storytellers across Hong Kong's outlying islands and into the wider waters of Asia. Every voyage trains the next generation of ocean leaders and sustainable yachting ambassadors.

Open-Deck Learning Spaces

Modular workstations for water sampling, microscopy, and citizen-science recording in real ocean conditions.

Dive & Snorkel Platform

Stern-launched RIB and dive ladder for safe, supervised access to reef and mangrove sites across Asia.

Onboard Media Studio

A studio for students to produce films, podcasts, and field journals at sea.

Programs Aboard 航程

From Hong Kong schoolchildren to ASEAN graduate researchers — our programs bring learners face-to-face with the ocean, and with the people fighting to protect it.

FLAGSHIP →

Young Ocean Ambassadors

A two-week immersion for students aged 15–19, building marine literacy, fieldwork skills, and lifelong networks across Asia's coastal communities.

SEAMANSHIP →

Skills at Sea

Hands-on seamanship through low-impact sailing — navigation, sail handling, and the ethics of operating in fragile marine ecosystems.

SCIENCE →

Climate & Coast

Field modules on mangroves, seagrass meadows, and the carbon they hold — co-taught with regional scientists and Indigenous knowledge holders.

LEADERSHIP →

Future Leaders

Intensive voyages for university students and early-career professionals exploring ocean policy, finance, and the future of the blue economy.

EDUCATORS →

For Teachers

Short voyages designed for classroom teachers — practical curriculum, fieldwork techniques, and resources to bring the ocean home to their schools.

COMMUNITY →

Coastal Communities

Sea Tiger sails to underserved coastal communities — open-deck workshops, marine literacy days, and storytelling exchanges with local youth.

South China Sea 南海

Tracing migratory routes, fishing grounds and reef systems across one of the most contested — and biologically rich — seas on Earth.

The Coral Triangle 珊瑚三角

Voyages through the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia — exploring the global epicentre of marine biodiversity alongside local stewards.

Greater Bay Estuary 大灣區

Where rivers meet the sea — a study of estuaries, mangroves and the communities whose lives are woven into the tide.

Recent moments from the deck, the dock, and the beach.

Beach Cleanup · Hong Kong

A row of black bags, one leaflet, one tide.

Volunteers gather pre-dawn for a cleanup along a Hong Kong shoreline. The Save The Ocean leaflet rests on a bag of what the sea returned overnight.

Sea Tiger · Victoria Harbour

Past the Convention Centre, into the strait.

Sea Tiger threads the harbour at the start of a day's sail — a vessel built for learning, moving past the city that built her.
