A schooner is a majestic and iconic sailing vessel, instantly recognizable by its distinctive sail plan featuring two or more masts, with the foremast being shorter than the mainmast. This historic rig offers exceptional balance and power, making schooners renowned for their grace, seaworthiness, and ability to carry a tremendous amount of canvas for their size. While they evoke the golden age of sail, modern schooners blend this timeless elegance with contemporary amenities, offering spacious decks and voluminous interiors that are ideal for luxurious adventure cruising, charter operations, or living aboard as a stately home.
Sailing a schooner is a unique and rewarding experience, often involving a larger crew for traditional handling or simplified systems for easier short-handed sailing. The multiple masts allow for a wide variety of sail combinations, providing versatility in different wind conditions. Whether you are drawn to the romance of a classic wooden schooner or the performance of a modern aluminum or steel hull, owning a schooner means becoming the custodian of a piece of maritime heritage. It represents a lifestyle of exploration, elegance, and a deep connection to seafaring tradition. Explore our selection of schooners for sale and embark on a voyage unlike any other.
