Schooner Yacht HERON Crew
Schooner Yacht HERON is a US Coast Guard inspected vessel and is family owned & operated.
Captains Bonnie Schmidt & Nigel Bower are USCG licensed and have been sailing for over 25 years.
The last 11 years they chartered their boat SHANTIH II from Rockport Harbor, Maine.
Before that their sailing has taken them on several trans-Atlantic trips between Europe and the Caribbean
and sailing the Atlantic seaboard from the Caribbean to Canada.
Bonnie also has a degree in Environmental Education and loves to share her knowledge of the marine life of Maine.
Nigel "Twig" is a Master Shipwright and has been restoring & building wooden boats since 1987. Schooner HERON is his latest project.
Daughters Elissa & Rachel have been sailing since they were born and are at home on the boat. They really know their
way around the bay and are the first to point out any wildlife. Join them for the sail of a lifetime.
