Captain’s Note
It seems ironic that although I started
this charter business in 1992, I have spent
much of the past few decades literally
building the competition. However, in the
winter of 2011 with the help of friends and
family I finally got around to building a new
schooner for myself.
There is something indescribable about
seeing the many other vessels that I have
designed, built, or in some way had my hand
in while out on the water with friends and
paying guests. The sight makes me both
eternally grateful for our Cape Ann heritage
and proud of the role I have played in keeping
our maritime traditions alive.
Although Cape Ann’s land and
seascapes are beautiful, it is our vessels that
have inspired the imaginations of artists,
photographers, writers, and visitors alike. I
am sure you will all enjoy the ARDELLE.
