Dear Shipmates

Introduction

We are preparing our voyage from France to the Pacific for a team of filmmakers and marine biologists. We will embark on our expedition and voyage from France across the Atlantic to the Caribbean and then to the Pacific at the start of 2025 (January, February). We will shoot a unique documentary series focused on the protection and research of marine nature. In addition, we will focus on ocean exploration and observation in Melanesia in the South Pacific.
We will shoot footage under and above the water on the remote islands of the Pacific.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

We plan to stay, work, and live on the new, fully-equipped Lagoon catamaran. We are looking for an experienced crew who will become part of the film expedition. If you have experience on a more extended stay on a yacht, larger catamarans, or directly with Lagoon catamarans, you don't mind sailing to unexplored areas of the Pacific, don't hesitate to send us your CV. We are interested in long-term cooperation, as we will spend several years filming and researching the underwater world on a catamaran. We offer an opportunity for adventurers who are interested in protecting the underwater world and want to spend a few months with a group of amazing people. If you are a marine biologist and an experienced diver who knows how to handle it with a photo camera, you are welcome.
