Aroona and her crew have long been passionate about the conservation, education, and preservation of the Great Barrier Reef. We’ve proudly supported Australia’s top universities in groundbreaking research, from coral spawning studies to Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS) control. Our commitment to the reef extends far beyond adventure—we actively contribute to scientific efforts like the Great Reef Census, a massive citizen science initiative aimed at protecting the reef’s future.
Our vessel has been featured in numerous documentaries and films, shining a spotlight on the incredible beauty and fragility of the reef. Most notably, “ReefShot,” now streaming on STAN, showcases Aroona and our very own Captain, Ross Miller’s innovative drone work, capturing breathtaking visuals of the reef and its defenders. The film highlights the inspiring efforts of researchers, Indigenous communities, and everyday citizens, all united in protecting the reef.
Aroona also served as the support vessel for “Strait to Plate” on SBS Food, exploring Torres Strait Islander food, culture, and history. In Disney+’s “Welcome to Earth” with Will Smith, Aroona was featured in an unforgettable encounter with tiger sharks near Raine Island. We were equally honored to play a key role in “Kite the Reef,” a record-breaking kitesurfing expedition across the Great Barrier Reef, raising $100,000 for Motor Neurone Disease research.
Our contributions to reef conservation don’t stop with film—Aroona plays an active role in ongoing research efforts. We’ve partnered with James Cook University (JCU) and Southern Cross University on projects that help safeguard the reef’s future, providing long-range access to remote sites for coral restoration and bathymetry mapping. These initiatives are not only crucial for research but allow us to be at the forefront of reef preservation, helping scientists better understand this unique ecosystem.
From assisting in research to supporting environmental storytelling, Aroona continues to help protect the Great Barrier Reef for generations to come.

Our passion for the Great Barrier Reef extends beyond offering unforgettable adventures. We actively participate in research efforts alongside leading institutions like James Cook University (JCU) and Southern Cross University.
Our contributions range from studying natural predators of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS) to assisting with the Great Reef Census. By providing long-range access to remote areas and supporting data collection initiatives, we help researchers gain a deeper understanding of the reef's health and diversity.
We're also part of a groundbreaking crowdsourced bathymetry project, collecting crucial depth data that will be used to create detailed maps of the reef. This information is vital for future research and conservation efforts.
Beyond data collection, we've participated in coral restoration initiatives, facilitating dives to support the crucial process of coral larvae restoration.
These research trips are a deeply rewarding experience. They allow us to contribute directly to reef conservation while raising awareness about the wonders and challenges facing this irreplaceable ecosystem. We invite you to explore our website and social media to learn more about our ongoing commitment to protecting the Great Barrier Reef.
