You must be open-minded and respectful towards the boat, your fellow crew members, and the environment. We foster a community based on mutual respect and a shared love for the ocean and exploration.

While underway, all crew members will rotate shifts for keeping watch on Argo, including navigating, monitoring the boat, and ensuring safe passage. When anchored, expect to share responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking, and general maintenance.
