The Foundation
The Fondation Pacifique is a Swiss non-profit
organization established in Geneva in 2007
An independent body, it was created by a
handful of people motivated by a passion for adventure and
a keen awareness of the challenges we face today.
The sailboats
To conduct its expeditions, the Fondation Pacifique uses traditional sailboats, which have proven to be ideal logistical platforms for executing the programmes devised by its scientific partners.

THE EXPEDITIONS
The Fondation Pacifique expeditions are conceived and conducted using a multidisciplinary approach and in a spirit of shared experience. This philosophy translates into a constant search for synergies between the scientific, socio-educational and cultural aspects of these expeditions and missions.
