The invention relates to a system (1) for recovering an ocean-bottom seismometer (2), intended to be provided on a ship. The system comprises a receiving device (11) having an at least partially rigid structure, a guide barrier (121) to define, with the hull of the ship (3), a zone for guiding the ocean-bottom seismometer (2) towards the receiving device (11). A movement system (13) makes it possible to move the receiving device (11) between a low position in which the receiving device (11) is at least partially submerged and a high position enabling an operator or an apparatus present on the ship (3) to recover the ocean-bottom seismometer (2) carried by the receiving device (11). The invention also relates to a ship provided with the system and to a corresponding recovery method.
