The Mystic Whaler

The Mystic Whaler Rounding Block Island

The Mystic Whaler is a reproduction of a late 19th century coastal cargo schooner that was designed for the passenger trade by Chum Crockett of Camden, Maine.  She was built in 1967 in Tarpon Springs, Florida and was rebuilt in 1993 in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Mystic Whaler’s warm interior features Italian oak floors and fir wainscoting with mahogany accents.  Her modern amenities include 6 bathrooms with hot showers … 3 of which are private.

The schooner meets or exceeds all Coast Guard standards for safety with an auxiliary diesel engine and generator and a full array of navigational equipment.
