Our Vessel

Built in 1930, the Schooner American Eagle measures 92' on deck, 19' wide at the beam and draws 11'. She was the last fishing schooner built in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Designed to fish offshore in all weather, she is the culmination of over 200 years of design and evolution, giving her unparalleled comfort and stability. She was rebuilt in 1986 for the passenger trade, and has been sailing with guests every year since.

The American Eagle is equipped as a modern vessel with GPS, Radar, and VHS marine radio. She meets all Coast Guard requirements, and is a comfortable, beautiful and able vessel. The crew and I know the Gulf of Maine well and are happy to share our skill, good humor, and experience with you on your trip.
