The Sea Cloud was the
largest private yacht ever built. The yacht's
owner spared no expense in its fitting out.
Sea Cloud had a remarkable career entertaining
royalty and being used on diplomatic missions.
During World War II, despite the initial objections
of President Roosevelt who felt that she was simply
too beautiful to be sacrificed, the ship was loaned
to the U.S. Coast Guard and saw service against
German U-Boats. Stripped of her masts, painted gray
and fitted with anti-submarine guns, she served as a
weather observation platform in the Atlantic.
In 1978, German investors purchased and
significantly refurbished the yacht. One year
later, Sea Cloud entered passenger service with a
capacity of 65 passengers and 61 crew.
Today, Sea Cloud still feels very much like a
private home and boasts some of the most attractive
public rooms and cabins at sea. The magic of
the billowing sails create an experience that is
impossible to duplicate.
Sea Cloud's most remarkable feature is its four
masts, 29 sails and the tangled web of lines
stretching skyward 178 feet to support the rigging.
With sailing one of the main reasons people choose
Sea Cloud, the engines are used as little as
possible.
Sea Cloud is maintained to the highest standards,
and few ships can match the beauty of her teak
decks. Seen from afar with sails furled, the
rigging is fascinating in its complexity, but with
sails set, it is an evocative call to the past.
