DYT Yacht Transport Partners with OCEARCH

DYT Yacht Transport has recently announced a partnership with 38.4 metre Ocearch. The research vessel is the namesake of the non-profit organisation Ocearch, a globally recognised company for its work in ocean sustainability, and is currently making its way from Port Everglades, Florida to Brisbane, Australia onboard DYT’s 686’ flagship Yacht Express.

DYT has partnered with the organisation to support its study of sharks and other large predators that are essential to the future of the marine ecosystem. This marks the second time Yacht Express has called on Brisbane and Auckland since its launch in 2007.

Founder and expedition leader of Ocearch, Chris Fischer, comments, “By moving Ocearch around the world, DYT is helping the ocean recover faster, and that is critical if we want to successfully accomplish our mission. If we were to drive the vessel to Australia ourselves, it would take us 60 days and our people and equipment would be totally taxed. The gift that DYT is giving to Australia by delivering Ocearch there is one that affects every person who loves the ocean and uses the beaches. We hope this marks the first voyage of many with them.”
