The International SeaKeepers Society (SeaKeepers) has formed a new partnership with Pantaenius, a leading yacht insurance specialist, to bolster the SeaKeepers’ Global DISCOVERY Yacht Program, dedicated to ocean conservation and stewardship.
The DISCOVERY Yacht Program is a multi-faceted initiative that includes a wide range of initiatives, including Scientist-Led Expeditions, Citizen Science projects, Educational Outreach, and Community Engagement.
SeaKeepers is committed to advancing responsible marine practices through its Green Marine Program and advocating for an ocean-conscious future, in collaboration with industry partners and members around the world.
Since its inception in 2014, the DISCOVERY Yacht Program has successfully completed over 150 scientific expeditions aboard DISCOVERY Yachts.

These efforts have directly engaged more than 2,700 students in ocean conservation discussions and indirectly impacted over 85,000 students through research and educational outreach. The success of these initiatives has been made possible by the unwavering support of industry partners and private vessels globally, which serve as platforms for SeaKeepers’ programming.
Pantaenius, Europe’s leading yacht insurance specialist with 100.000 clients worldwide, is committed to promoting SeaKeepers to encourage broader participation in its ocean conservation programs.
“We share one planet, one ecosystem, and one ocean,” says Pantaenius MD Martin Baum. “The oceans are the cornerstone of our business models. While we aspire to be altruistic and contribute to saving the world, we must also ensure that our businesses remain sustainable for the long term.”
Through the new partnership, The International SeaKeepers Society and Pantaenius will collaborate to further promote marine conservation, research, and education on a global scale. Together, they aim to expand SeaKeepers’ impact, ensuring a sustainable future for our oceans.
“This new partnership with Pantaenius marks a significant step forward in our mission to protect and restore the oceans,” said Gill Rodrigues, Director of International Relations for The International SeaKeepers Society.
“With their support, we can amplify our efforts in marine conservation and education, ensuring a sustainable future for the next generation around the world.”
Melissa White, SeaKeepers South Pacific Director adds, “SeaKeepers South Pacific is thrilled to partner with Pantaenius Insurance in our mission to protect the oceans. Their commitment to sustainability and protecting the marine environment aligns perfectly with our goals. Together, this partnership will increase our efforts to preserve the seas, helping to secure a healthier future for our oceans.”
James MacPhail, MD of Pantaenius Australia states, “We’re excited to support The International SeaKeepers Society in safeguarding the South Pacific’s unique marine ecosystems. As part of our commitment to the region, we’re dedicated to helping expand conservation efforts and promote sustainable practices across these vital waters.”
