2008 Sailing Schedule

The Schooner American Eagle offers a good mix of four- and six-day cruises, with a couple three-day ones for those of you who have just a few days to get away. If you're looking for something unique during the 2008 sailing season, consider joining us for:

  • 6 days in August to watch for whales and seabirds
  • 11 days in August to explore the downeast coast of Maine and the Canadian Bay of Fundy, home of the Northern Right Whales
  • 6 days over Labor Day to sail to the Gloucester Schooner Festival

Please remember...

All trips board after 6 pm the evening before the sailing date, and return before noon the last day.
