Exploring the world, one ocean at a time.


The Sea Chest Foundation is a 501(C)(3), nonprofit organization dedicated to operating, outfitting, maintaining, and staffing water vessels for ocean research, education and other charitable causes.
In March, 2025, we joined with the International Seakeepers Society and the Sail & Explore Association.
Here’s more of our recent projects:
We are currently looking to assist science teachers, universities and schools along the Mississippi River who are interested in learning more about our inland waters. If this is something you might be interested in, please email us at [email protected]
One of the vessels that we support is SV Seeker, built in Tulsa, OK. You can email Captain Doug Jackson at [email protected] directly to find out how you can help with SV Seeker. Here’s a link to learn more about Doug Jackson and SV Seeker.
Other vessels will also be added to our fleet of support vessels and we are also accepting projects that can be performed on the shoreline.
