Schooner American Eagle

Schooner American Eagle Where adventure culture and community create an unforgettable experiance. No two are the same.

Our all inclusive overnight adventures range from 3 to 9-nights around Penobscot Bay and beyond. The Schooner American Eagle is a deep draft vessel, originally designed to work offshore in all kinds of weather. Today, her hull and efficient rig continue to make her safe and stable when sailing along the coast or in open water, and with an inboard engine, she can move from place to place with or wi

thout any wind! The layout below is traditional with the galley up forward and main cabin aft, providing two comfortable salons in which to gather below decks. Her cabins are a mix of cozy bunks or double beds, giving our guests options when requesting their sleeping arrangements. Although our menu changes with each trip we take, there is always plenty of delicious food to be enjoyed, and we strive to accommodate any dietary needs or allergies you may have. Additionally, one meal per trip is a dedicated lobster bake with freshly-caught and prepared lobster, sweet Maine corn, and other culinary delights. Please visit our website to learn more about the schooner and to request a brochure!

You may recognize him but next is Captain Tyler King! Similarly to American Eagle, Tyler is also originally from Gloucester, Massachusetts. Growing up in a wooden boat yard, and spending many seasons working in and around the Maine schooner fleet, it is a shock to no one that he bought the American Eagle in 2022. You can always find him designing, building, or figuring his way through many different projects for the Eagle and now the North End Shipyard. Surrounded by hard working crew, they all come together to make the American Eagle all she continues to be. We love you so much and Eagle is so lucky to have you!

Next up for our crew introductions is Quinn Wood! Coming to us from Traverse City, Michigan, Quinn is here for his first season on American Eagle. As an assistant cook, he’ll be helping Marty out in the galley. As one of biggest fans, Quinn has made the trip down to Portland (hour and a half one way) just about every weekend he’s been up here. Welcome to the crew, Quinn!

Next we’ll turn the camera around in our crew introductions for Katharine (Kate) Hassenfratz! Katharine holds fast as the only deck crew member not from Appleton, Maine, but rather from Westchester, New York. She spent the last few years living in Boston, where she attended and graduated from Boston University. Katharine returns to us for her third season as a deckhand and has been capturing and editing so many great moments that you all have been enjoying on social media. Welcome back, Katharine!

Next up for our crew introductions is Lily Rogers! From Warren, Maine, Lily is joining us this season as our assistant cook/deckhand. She helped us out last year for a few trips where she learned about the magic of cooking with a wood stove (refer to photos 3 and 5). Lily is currently finishing up her sophomore year at Colby College where she studies biology. We’re so excited to have you back, Lily!

Next up in our crew introductions is Chef Marty McHugh-Mullane. Originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, Marty joins us this year for his 6th full season cooking on windjammers (and filling in on many ships in the fleet in between) and his 3rd cooking with us! He has also been a chef on land in Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Maine. Marty is known among the crew to caffeinate himself on the worlds strongest chai tea blend (around 6-8 bags), and that’s when they know something crazy is about to come out of the galley. Often the highlight of the trip for most guests, the food onboard aboard is always fresh, fun, and creative. We love having Marty onboard and so thankful he is sailing with us again!

What better way to end a day of sailing than with a trip around the anchorage on our Lowell’s Amesbury Skiff, exploring little inlets or checking out the other windjammers anchored nearby.

Thank you to Tracy Madigan-Sheppard for this great photo. You can join Tracy and Sean Sheppard on our Wooden Boat Sail-In and Photography trip this fall.

Another highlight of 2024 was the Great Schooner Race. After a stellar performance at the race in 2023, we knew there would be stiff competition for the Small Boats class race in 2024.

It was an exciting race, with the seine boat trailing right up until the last turn, when our coxswain Kate was able to cut a sharp turn, putting the seine boat across the finish line in first place.

We’re going for the three-peat in 2025, and hope for some better sailing weather too!

Thanks to Sean Sheppard for the photos

Every year the Schooner American Eagle makes a visit to her birthplace, Gloucester, Massachusetts, for the annual Schooner Festival and Race to celebrate the storied maritime tradition of one of America's oldest fishing ports and shipbuilding centers.

We were lucky to have good, consistent breeze which lead to an exciting and very close race--thanks to a great start and even better race tactics we won by a mere 17 seconds.

It's always fun to leave our home of Maine, and even better when we can bring home some shiny new hardware with a broom on the foremast.

Our 2025 Gloucester trip is now open for booking; join us as we hope to bring home another Esperanto Cup!
