What happens when a superyacht owner opens his vessel to marine researchers on the wild coast of Iceland? In this Big BOAT Interview, online editor Holly Margerrison sits down with Scintilla Maris owner Erik Vonk, who transformed a 1989 fishing trawler into a go-anywhere expedition yacht – and then welcomed scientists on board through the Yachts for Science initiative. Speaking shortly the voyage, Erik shares the 17-year story of converting Scintilla Maris, what it was like hosting Dr. Paige Maroni and her team, and why he believes more owners should consider science collaborations at sea. Alongside BOAT International’s live blog, his candid reflections bring to life a pioneering project that proves yachting and groundbreaking research can go hand in hand.
