“Fun facts” about the Windjammer American Eagle:
Let’s go sailing
A sailing vacation on the American Eagle is right for just about everyone—couples, friends, families with children, ages 12 and up, and independent travelers. There is an easy congeniality on board that makes for instant relaxation and great camaraderie.
Captain Tyler King has been sailing and working on boats since he was very small spending most summers sailing all around Massachusetts Bay and up beyond Penobscot Bay. He has been in the Windjamming fleet since 2013, working on quite a few of the vessels. The American Eagle sails Down East on four to six day cruises. Sometimes longer adventures of 9 to 14 days to the Canadian Maritimes or tall ship events
are planned. Spectacular scenery, wildlife, lighthouses, and wonderful meals, including an island lobster bake are part of every trip.
Each cruise is a unique adventure: exciting sailing at an affordable price. Most of our guests have sailed with us before or come on the recommendation of a friend.
Board after 6 p.m. on the trip date, settle\ in and sleep aboard that night before we sail the next morning. Pack casual, comfortable clothes, and two pair of rubber soled shoes (no high heels, flip flops, golf shoes, or dress whites, please). Rain gear, a warm sweater or jacket, a sun hat and sunscreen are musts. Bring your camera; you’ll take a lot of pictures.
You are encouraged to follow our course on the chart, take the wheel and sail the schooner. Or, kick back, bask in the sun, and read. As for the sailing—well, that’s just one reason our guests keep returning. But don’t take our word for it—try it for yourself!
