Solace, a uniquely capable explorer yacht, is setting a new standard for purposeful travel. As she embarks on an ambitious circumnavigation, Solace is doing more than just traversing the globe’s most remote waters; she’s actively contributing to our understanding of them. Through her partnership with the Yachts For Science initiative, Solace will open her decks to researchers, scientists, and storytellers, enabling vital ocean research in some of the most inaccessible places on Earth.
EYOS and YFS have long championed the belief that private yachts can be powerful platforms for science. The collaboration has matched dozens of top-tier ocean science projects with yacht owners willing to provide a temporary research platform, enabling owners to host small teams and support vital ocean research. As seen in projects such as the Lost 5th Island, the program reflects a growing recognition among yacht owners and guests alike that true luxury lies not only in discovery but in stewardship and using access to make a measurable impact.
Throughout her voyage, Solace will provide scientists with rare access to pristine and often undocumented regions of the ocean. These collaborations represent a win for science, for the yacht, and for her owner and perhaps most memorably for her guests, who will have the chance to witness, and even participate in, meaningful fieldwork firsthand.
Solace’s commitment to the ocean extends beyond science. Throughout her three-year circumnavigation, every liter of fuel consumed will be carbon offset, ensuring that her journey contributes not only to discovery but also to sustainability.
Each mission underscores Solace’s central ethos: that exploration and conservation are deeply intertwined pursuits. With her world-class crew, advanced technology, and EYOS’s unrivaled expedition expertise, Solace stands at the frontier of a new model for ocean exploration — one that connects luxury travel with lasting scientific value.
As she continues her global journey, Solace will demonstrate what is possible when adventure meets purpose: a yacht that not only takes you to the edge of the world but helps protect it. Learn more about other Yachts for Science expeditions and the pioneering projects EYOS supports around the globe.
