MY Alchemy is a luxury yacht currently owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society since March 2018.
Alchemy was donated in March 2018 by Alison, Lyle, and Taggart Turner to Sea Shepherd.[4] The Turners are founders of the biotechnology company Invitrogen, as well as Alchemy Ventures, an organization that supports coral reef research and conservation. The vessel was retrofitted in 2014 and it features scuba diving facilities.[4]
The Alchemy was purchased by a private investor in August 2019.
