The R/V Mussel Point
The Bodega Marine Laboratory's 42 foot premiere research vessel, the Research Vessel Mussel Point, is specifically designed to gather oceanographic data in the demanding waters nearshore and offshore of northern California 's rugged coast.
Small Boats
The Bodega Marine Laboratory's fleet of small vessels is as varied as the conditions we use them in: from kayaks for paddling the calm inner harbors and esteros, to inflatables and other dive boats suited for Bodega and Tomales Bays, to a 20-foot, comprehensively-equipped, center-console workboat, The Cape Horn, that gets students and researchers up or down the coast in a hurry.
