Introducing Squid! The quietest experience you will have on a boat while watching dolphins. We worked with David Walworth, an MIT educated Naval Architect and Principal Engineer known for his high-efficiency catamaran designs, to build the perfect boat for our trips from scratch.

Crew training starts on land with research and mission alignment before moving onto the water where we hone our seamanship skills and work to become as effective as possible at delivering on our Purpose. We Work to Spread the Value of Wildlife Conservation “People Protect What They Love.” Jacques Costeau said it, and it inspires us at Honest Eco as we work to help people discover and fall in love with the environment we are all part of. We are continuously learning and pushing ourselves to be as environmentally responsible as possible.
