About The Schooner Curlew
The 82' schooner Curlew was built from the imagination of the legendary American boat designer John Alden. Built in 1926 in Wiscasset, Maine, the Schooner Curlew 
is an authentic tall ship, and as close to a living thing as a man can build. Her hull is strong and graceful with an elegance that is timeless.
A veteran of WW2, Curlew has since been totally refitted and restored to the highest standards of performance and luxury.
US Coast Guard certified for over 30 guests, Curlew sets sail out of beautiful Dana Point Harbor to cruise the picturesque Southern California coastline.
Our Captains are US Coast Guard licensed masters and typically we sail with a Captain and three crew members.

About Us
Curlew Charters Inc. a California corporation was formed in June of 2002, preceding the July acquisition of the Schooner Curlew. Fulfilling a 10 year dream, Captain Bob Harrison set out to create a business that would not only allow him to share his love for sailing and the sea with others, but play a part in maintaining a historical vessel representative of the Classic Days of Sailing.
Bob has held a USCG Masters License for fifteen years, and has owned sailboats continuously for some 35 years. Curlew represents the fifth yacht he has owned, and the third sailed in the Pacific. In terms of sailing experience, in addition to his 20 years on the waters of Southern California, Bob has sailed the waters of the Pacific North West, raced on San Francisco Bay, and spent a few summers early on exploring the Lake Ontario where he learned to sail.
