About SeaTrek BVI

Marine biology program — sea turtle tagging, coral reef surveying, lionfish, reef fish ID

Our sailing catamarans also serve as floating marine science classrooms. Our staff biologists introduce students to the tropical ecology and wildlife of the islands and their surrounding reefs. Our science program provides a variety of interactive, hands-on marine science activities that include sea turtle tagging, coral reef surveying, invasive and indicator species monitoring, and reef fish identification. By participating in these science projects, students can earn community service and/or academic credit.

Clues to fit

No experience required — SeaTrek is designed for first-timers

No prior sailing or diving experience is necessary. Our programs are designed to take the novice voyager and turn him/her into a confident, experienced diver or sailor. Most participants have never been on a large boat much less at sea for several days; all we ask is that they come with an open mind and a willingness to learn. We are a scuba camp, sailing camp and marine biology camp all in one!

The BVI as a setting — protected waters, colorful reefs, shipwrecks, culture

The British Virgin Islands feature the best of civilization and nature. The sailing is some of the best in the world. The protected waters of the BVI offer calm seas with great wind for sailing and crystal clear water for diving. It is rich with colorful reefs and spectacular shipwrecks that abound with marine life. The islands feature lush rain forests, mountain peaks, and an abundance of local history and culture.

Independence, growth & leadership

Camper testimonial — five summers, home away from home, independence and confidence

I have spent five summers with SeaTrek! It feels like I've grown up with SeaTrek. Last year I was an intern, and it felt so great to be back at my home away from home! I think SeaTrek is an incredible place that allows its participants to learn more about themselves, the ocean, diving, and being a leader. After five years, I fully believe that SeaTrek has helped me become independent and confident in so many things like sailing, diving, and living on a boat with others! Everybody I have known from the summers have all been awesome people and have taken away something different each year.

Parent review — worth every penny, fostered growth and independence

SeaTrek is, without a doubt, worth every penny! Being onboard with a marine biologist, highly trained instructors, and a caring crew, who all prepared the kids for diving daily, studying marine life, tagging turtles and learning about local cultures are just a few of the ways SeaTrek has exposed our daughter to so many opportunities and inspired her to think about the world differently. She has become more independent and self-confident. Our 14 year old described it best before her departure when she was looking for a way to 'combine swimming and science outside of the classroom.' She came off the plane from her 3 week voyage and immediately exclaimed, 'I'm going back!'
