Vessel Specifications

ANGARI Foundation owns and operates a 65-foot research vessel, which has been refitted to serve as an ideal platform for marine science research, film and education expeditions. The vessel is outfitted with indoor and outdoor workspaces with laboratory and field equipment available for customer use. The vessel’s multipurpose workspaces leave plenty of room for custom setup and organization of personal gear and equipment. R/V ANGARI is available for charter to research and film teams for day and overnight expeditions.

In addition to chartered expeditions, the vessel also hosts students, teachers and community members throughout the year as part of ANGARI Foundation’s mission to raise awareness and engage the public in marine and environmental sciences.

R/V ANGARI currently operates along the U.S. East Coast, the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, the Gulf of Mexico and the northern Caribbean.
