Sea-Eye

Sea-Eye is a German non-governmental organization headquartered in Regensburg. It participates in the rescue of migrants in distress in the Mediterranean, in particular by having chartered the ships Sea-Eye and Seefuchs/ Sea Fox until August 2017, then the Alan Kurdi (named in memory of the young Syrian found drowned on a Turkish beach in 2015) and from August 2020 to 2025 the Sea-Eye 4. In June 2021, Sea-Eye received honorary citizenship from the mayor of Palermo. In 2024, together with United4Rescue, Sea-Eye bought the NIS RANDERS, a former German Sea Rescue Society boat, which they now operate in the Mediterranean as Sea-Eye 5.
