Accommodations
One of the last original Gloucester Fishing schooners, the American Eagle’s open deck space, comfortable cabins, and spacious interior blend the function of a period yacht, while keeping the charm of the western Atlantic’s working vessels.
Your Cabin
Evoking the charm of classic Art Deco yachting, with the right balance of modern amenities, a stay aboard the Schooner American Eagle is an opportunity to simplify and relax.
Each cabin aboard the American Eagle is equipped with reading lights, a fan, a 12-volt charging outlet, and a sink with potable hot and cold water.
Upon arrival, your cabin is equipped with fresh sheets, pillows, wool blankets, and a full set of towels.
Most cabins are located in the Midships and Main cabins. Our main cabin stove keeps you cozy in both compartments on cool nights.

The Galley
In the tradition of Gloucester fishing schooners, the American Eagle features a large and commodious galley-foc’sle. Although we serve most meals on deck, there is more than enough room to relax, read, or play a board game. Take a book or a game from the library.
The cushioned benches and curved ceiling are a comfortable place to escape the rain or chat with our galley crew while relaxing on our cushioned benches leaning against the curved ceiling. If you help our crew dry dishes, you might even get some inside knowledge about what’s for dinner.
We cook all our food on our Shipmate wood-fired cookstove, which also provides great warmth during the colder months.
Main Cabin
The paneled main cabin features a stove for cold nights and cushioned settees for reading or relaxing.
The stove heats the schooner during the cooler temps of early summer and fall.
Our library, in the Main and Midships cabins, includes classic Maine and nautical literature. Capt. King and the crew often read their favorite selections during the evening.
Bathroom Facilities
Two toilets are located below deck, one each in the Midships and Main compartments, as well as a separate fresh hot-water shower located below deck. All are cleaned multiple times a day.
No berth is more than a few steps away from the toilet.
The shower is available from morning to evening, even while the anchor is up.
