Whale Tagging
Whale Tagging aboard D/Y E Cruz
August 27, 2018

The ability to conduct this kind of field research aboard one of our DISCOVERY Yachts was crucial in understanding more about these gigantic marine mammals, as lab tests would be virtually impossible. Rather, observing them in their natural habitat is truly the only way to study and learn more about what are literally, the largest animals on our planet.
