Conrad & Meagan Jones
Global sailors with a thirst for all things salt water – kiting above, diving below, and cleaning up everything in between, Conrad and Meagan Jones recently launched VANDAL, a world cruising catamaran and adventure platform. Beyond scouring the globe for forbidden seas and barbarous coasts, Conrad and Meagan are excited to partner with Beneath the Waves to facilitate scientific research missions and expeditions through VANDAL and advocate for ocean health and responsible tourism.
