Stephen Amato served as crew for almost nine months on Sea Dragon. A bit like the young man in Jack London’s Sea Wolf, he went to sea and came home a changed man. Have a look at this video…

How’s this for a midday view? 👀
Perched 100 feet up the mast of SV Sea Dragon, the world looks a little different — crew on deck, water like glass, and nothing but open ocean ahead.
Fun fact: That mast? It’s nearly as tall as a 10-story building. Would you climb it?

She’s back. 📣💛⛵️
After 9 months on land, SV Sea Dragon is officially back in the water.
From refit to relaunch, she’s had a full restoration in Gosport, UK — and she’s looking better than ever.
Huge thanks to our incredible crew and shipyard team who worked around the clock to bring her back to life. This is more than just a boat launch — it’s the start of a whole new chapter.
Watch the full launch, hear from the crew, and get ready — our 2025/2026 itinerary is coming in strong.
Can you tell we’re excited? We’ve been posting about it nonstop — and for good reason.

When your fender makes a break for freedom... and you suddenly become part sailor, part Spider-Man. 🕸️⚓️
This unexpected rescue mission turned into a great reminder of the importance of solid rope systems and on-the-fly problem solving at sea. Whether it’s securing gear or saving runaway buoys, knowing your lines (and how to trust your crew) makes all the difference.
🧩 Pro tip: Always double-check your knots... and maybe keep your favorite buoy on a tighter leash.
