The reservation process consists of two parts:
- An on-line reservation form (this page)
- An on-line medical history and release form. (only the first time)
First fill out and submit the following on-line form. Then fill in the medical history form and email it back to us (press submit at the bottom). (You will need Adobe Acrobat).
Terms and Conditions:
- We will make every attempt to satisfy your trip requests.
- We will send you an acknowledgement of your reservation within 7 days of receipt.
Please keep in touch via email with any
questions, which will be answered promptly.
- Remember to bring $35 per person, per day for provisioning fees in cash, to be given to the Captain on boarding. THIS FEE IS IN EUROS FOR ALL TRIPS IN FRENCH POLYNESIA (#22-30).
- Your yearly fees include everything BUT: airfare, travel or accident insurance (a good idea these days), personal or communication
expenses (satellite phone), special spirits (bring your own, but we have a well stocked bar), scuba diving, and crew tips (appreciated if we do a great job, and strongly suggested for our chef team, who are world class!).
- You will be contacted shortly by Kevin Martin at Martin Travel Services, who handles all of our logistics. He can assist
you with all flight, hotel, visa or other needs and is very, very good.

Please consider the carbon impact your trip will have on the SV Discovery. MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Offset your carbon footprint of this trip
by funding sustainable energy projects through
Climate Care. It's fun, and the reefs and ocean will thank you!
Timing:
Each leg begins and ends at 12 noon on the day stated in the schedule. Our arrival in the port of destination is
generally one day early to allocate the necessary time for customs clearance and provide you time to reconfirm airline
tickets, pack up, and do some exploring. Please do not schedule your return ticket earlier than 12 noon on the last day
of the trip. It is unfortunately not possible to join the boat earlier than 12 noon, or stay later as the time between
trips is needed for maintenance and provisioning. Please plan on arriving at least 24 hours before the start of your voyage.
Spend the night(s) in a hotel, so that you'll have
a chance to get over jet lag and be well rested and acclimatized when you come aboard. This extra day(s) means less
chance of holding up the start of the trip because of late flights or baggage. You may want to consider planning a
night or more ashore at our destination, before flying home.
And Finally (if you haven't done so already):
Take this time to fill out the confidential Medical questionnaire. Review and print the
What to Bring list. Kevin Martin (our travel agent) will
contact you by telephone to answer
any additional questions.
Points Reservation System
Our reservation system is a simple method which allows each owner equal access to trips or
times of the year in high demand. The more points you have, the higher priority you have when
booking your "first choice" trip each year. You "acquire" points by a combination of two methods:
- Time of year: "low demand", "high demand", and "extreme demand"
- Trip choice: First, Second, Third, or "Other"
The more points you have going into a certain year gives you priority over another owner with less
points who wants the same trip. Here is the calendar for 2008 and 2009 (demand has not been set for 2009, this is just an estimate).
