Show, don’t just tell. For example, if you’re a photographer or journalist, share your portfolio. If you work in social media, provide examples of your work.

We collaborate with a wide range of individuals, including sailors, storytellers (videographers, photographers, journalists), scientists, science educators (teachers), students, and those with influence and outreach.

The common denominator among Barba crew members is a deep commitment—to the environment, their surroundings, their team, and themselves. We strive for ambition, passion, respect, hard work, and a shared desire to make a difference.

Testimonials

Barba is a mere boat and fine-tuned machine for interacting with nature. What brings her to life, is her fabulous crew and onshore support team that enables us to tell the story in a spectacular way, sparking enthusiasm for the ocean and the precious life she sustains. The following are a selected few of the many exceptional individuals who have contributed to the Barba adventures.

“I spent three spectacular weeks onboard Barba in Arctic Norway documenting Orcas, a task for which she delivered as promised and beyond.”

– Tony Wu, Japan – 2015 & 2016 Wildlife Photographer of the Year

“Great respect for the Captain and crew of the Barba. Most impressed by safety first, and the overall knowledge of the Norwegian coast.”

– Rick Rosenthal, US – Four-time Emmy award-winning filmmaker

“Working and filming marine mammals in Arctic conditions is an extreme challenge by any standard. However with Barba as a platform and Andreas as her Captain we not only were able to get never seen before footage. Most importantly, we did it safely.”

– Matthew Ferraro, US – Producer/Director, 15 years of work experience with the Cousteau family as Underwater Cinematographer

“Barba could very well be the best adventure-equipped boat in its category, in terms of equipment, philosophy and approach. And all those three are meticulously well-maintained, too.”

– Jaap van Rijckevorsel, The Netherlands, Sailor, World Champion Swan 45 class, 2015
