Yes, it's a marine research vessel

As Vanessa squinted in the direction Tori was pointing, she too saw a faint silhouette on the horizon. "It looks like a boat," she agreed. "But it's too far away to tell for sure." They both stood up, craning their necks to get a better look. They were right, it was a boat, or a ship, and it seemed to be heading right towards them. They started jumping up and down, completely disregarding the fact they were both naked and, in Vanessa's case, covered in a white residue of sealife secretions. "I can't believe it! We're saved!" Vanessa exclaimed, hugging Tori tightly. The two of them began to wave their arms frantically in an attempt to get the attention of the approaching vessel.

As they continued to wave and shout, the boat got closer and closer. In fact, it was not merely a ship, but a medium sized research vessel. The captain of the ship, a burly man with a thick beard, noticed the two women on the shore. He called out to his crew, "Hey boys! Look over there! We've found survivors!" The crew, a mix of scientists and sailors, rushed to the side of the ship to get a better look. Vanessa quickly remembered her nudity, and tried her best to cover up her voluptuous breasts, but as big as they were, she was only able to conceal her nipples. The captain then called out to the two women, "Hey there! Don't worry, we're here to help! My name's Captain Jack, and this here is my crew. We came out here to check on a tip about a beached giant squid. Are you hurt?"

Tori looked at Vanessa, who shrugged. "We're not hurt, Captain Jack," Tori replied. "But we are stranded here." The captain nodded, his expression serious. "How'd you even get out this far from the shore? Where are you clothes?
