The Schooner Suva celebrates 100 years in 2025! Throughout the summer sailing season, Suva docks at the Coupeville Wharf. They are now recruiting volunteers through March. Here’s some basic info and you can learn more on their website below.
Being a part of the Suva’s crew is rewarding, easy, and fun! No experience necessary! We will help teach you everything you need to know to be a safe and effective member of the crew.
Suva’s crew is all-volunteer and consists of sailors with varying levels of experience, skill, and knowledge. As a crew member, you are not only learning to sail with us on a historic schooner, but also helping promote the mission of the Whidbey Island Maritime Heritage Foundation.
Your job aboard Suva is much more than being a lookout, hoisting sails, clearing the foredeck, or tending a sheet. You are a customer service representative, a narrator, a naturalist, a historian, a conservationist, a teacher, a cruise director! Our goal is to provide the best experience to our guests making it more than just a boat ride.
NOTE: The foundation accepts applications for new crew each year, from January 1 – March 30. No new crewing applications are accepted after that period due to seasonal time limitations for the training of new crew and the commencement of our regular sailing season.
