Methods and apparatus for deploying a plurality of unmanned marine vehicles into water, in which each unmanned marine vehicle including a float and a glider connected by a tether. A buoyant platform carries the plurality of unmanned marine vehicles is advanced through the water. Each respective unmanned marine vehicle is secured in an associated apparatus comprising a buoyant frame defining a receiving bay, a float clamp assembly coupled to the buoyant frame and selectively retaining a float of the respective unmanned marine vehicle in the receiving bay, and a glider retainer assembly configured to selectively hold the glider of the respective unmanned marine vehicle below the buoyant frame. Each respective unmanned marine vehicle and associated apparatus is transferred from the buoyant platform to the water, and each respective unmanned marine vehicle is deployed from the associated apparatus.
