Our Story

Ocean Explorer Tours was founded in 2009 by Captain Sarah Martinez, a former Navy officer with an unwavering passion for marine exploration and conservation. What started as a small operation with a single boat has grown into the region's premier marine adventure company.

Our journey began with a simple mission: to share the incredible beauty and mystery of our oceans while fostering a deep respect for marine life. Over the years, we've expanded our fleet to include state-of-the-art submarines, luxury sailing yachts, and specialized wildlife viewing vessels.

Today, we're proud to have introduced over 50,000 guests to the wonders beneath the waves, all while maintaining our commitment to safety, sustainability, and unforgettable experiences.
