Built in 1991, Tree of Life stands as a testament to timeless elegance on the high seas. With meticulous care and attention to detail, this stunning yacht has been lovingly maintained over the years, and constantly upgraded to meet the demands of modern oceanic exploration. Every corner of this vessel exudes a sense of refined luxury, from the premium linen bedding to the sumptuous wool blankets that envelop you in warmth and comfort. Offering the perfect blend of seafaring practicality and shoreside opulence, Tree of Life allows you to voyage with ease and grace, never compromising on comfort.

In the early 1990's the Tree of Life was named one of the 100 Finest yachts in America by Sail magazine. She was designed in 1989 for a Virginia owner who planned extensive world cruising and wanted a husky yacht that resembled the Baltic trading schooners. Tree of Life was beautifully and strongly built by Covey Island Boat Works in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Since launching she won schooner races in Nova Scotia and crossed the Atlantic to Ireland to win several races there too. A letter from her builder, claiming speeds in excess of 12 knots under sail, is adequate testimony to her performance while a world circumnavigation attests to her seaworthiness and ability.

The Tree of Life's rig is very traditional, with its fiddled bowsprit, reefing topmasts and deadeyes. She spreads 3,894 sq ft of canvas with all sail set, giving her a sail area/displacement ratio of 24; this is more than adequate to keep her moving nicely in even the lightest of breezes. There are enough lines to handle to keep the crew busy and she is a beautiful sight surging along on a broad reach.

Sailing Yacht Tree of Life is sailing out of Newport Rhode Island for the month of June. For the months of July- October Tree of Life is sailing out of Belfast Maine in Penobscot Bay.
