Schooner Clearwater is a steel staysail schooner, purpose-built for smooth, capable sailing with a small professional crew. The staysail schooner design allows for efficient handling, self-tacking sails, and multiple sail configurations, making the vessel well-suited to changing wind conditions on the Gulf.

Hand-constructed, equipped, and rigged over a four-year period near downtown Clearwater, the schooner was designed and refined by a well-known local naval architect with day and charter sailing in mind. Clearwater was commissioned in November 2016 and became fully U.S. Coast Guard certified and inspected in June 2017.

Uniquely designed for Gulf waters, Clearwater is a capable coastal sailing vessel that combines traditional schooner lines with modern functionality — built to sail well, sail safely, and sail often.
