"The WHITE HOLLY is a High Endurance, Expedition Vessel.
The White Hollys' dependable nature means she can take research and commercial missions, farther, longer, to any ocean - economically, safe and in comfort. Her endurance makes her suitable for offshore deepwater research sites, while her draft and maneuverability allows her into rivers and lagoons without having to anchor or standby miles away from the research sites. This versatility has allowed her to successfully meet client requirements from the Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico , equatorial Pacific Carribean and the Atlantic Ocean..
