Research Vessel
“Shearwater has stayed booked every day since we took delivery. The vessel cruises at a higher speed than most other scientific craft, is safe, efficient, well built and has an aggressive design. She is also a very versatile and stable platform, an important factor for on-board scientific experiments, and is superb in the application of diving experiments.”
“All American Marine are attentive, have very professional staff and were especially receptive to the unique needs of the research community.”
– Dana Wilkes, LCDR, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
