The Trumpy yacht Eagle is a classic motor yacht with a rich history. Built in 1960 as TONDA, hull No. 394, it is a product of the renowned shipbuilding company, John Trumpy & Sons. The yacht has a length overall (LOA) of 68 feet and is a representative of the design era of the 1960s. EAGLE is a part of a long line of distinguished motor yachts and is a testament to the craftsmanship and elegance of that time. While specific details such as accommodation, engines, and other technical specifications are not readily available, EAGLE is a notable vessel that has garnered attention for its classic design and historical significance. The pride of ownership associated with maintaining and sailing a classic wooden yacht like the Eagle is rooted in the preservation of maritime history, the sense of custodianship, and the satisfaction of being a part of a seafaring tradition.

Trumpy Yachts, built from the 1920s to the 1970s, are renowned for their vintage elegance, sleek profile, and polished wood detailing. These yachts are a study in old-world glamour, with lengths ranging from 53 feet to 104 feet.

Owning a classic wooden yacht comes with a unique sense of pride and custodianship. Unlike modern vessels, classic wooden yachts are often considered works of art, reflecting a bygone era of craftsmanship and elegance. The pride of ownership is rooted in the preservation of maritime history and the responsibility of being a custodian of a piece of nautical heritage. This pride is also derived from the meticulous maintenance and care required to keep a classic wooden yacht in pristine condition, as well as the sense of community that often accompanies ownership of these timeless vessels. While the maintenance can be significant, the satisfaction of preserving and sailing a piece of history is a reward in itself, fostering a deep connection and appreciation for the vessel's unique character and seafaring tradition.

Trumpy Yachts for Sale

Trumpy: The Pillar of American Yachting  

In a world saturated with innovative technology and overpriced coffee is rare to find a pillar of American history that truly takes your breath away. Introducing, the Trumpy Motoryacht. Built from the 1920s to the 1970s, Trumpy motor yachts are a timeless example of what American yachting culture is all about.  

From the outside, these vessels are an obvious stand-out. The wood scrollwork reveals a meticulously carved “T” on every Trumpy Motor Yacht. A symbolic representation of the high-status passengers that once set sail aboard these yachts, some notable passengers include business mogul Howard Hughes, the Chrysler family, and the Dupont’s, to name a few.  

A staple design element of the Trumpy Motor Yacht is the polished white hull. Coupled with the classic wood detailing on the side of each Trumpy, these Yachts are easily distinguishable among a crowd. To capture the true essence of the Trumpy Motor Yacht legacy, it is important to understand the history behind the name. The name “Trumpy” originates from Norwegian-born Naval architect John Trumpy Sr., who began building yachts in Camden Yard in Gloucester City, N.J. In 1947, Trumpy & Sons moved their shipbuilding operation to Annapolis, Md. When Trumpy Sr. died in 1963, his son John Jr. continued the tradition until 1974, when rising costs, labor strikes and the popularity of fiberglass put him out of business.  

The person responsible for the creation of the Trumpy Motoryacht, John Trumpy, was originally born in Norway. A fourth-generation boat builder, Trumpy immigrated to America in 1908. Working at various boatyards in New York and New Jersey, Trumpy eventually joined Mathis in N.J. as an official partner. Trumpy became their first naval architect. (Mathis had started the company about 10 years earlier.) The most famous Trumpy Yacht was the U.S.S Sequoia. Now a designated historical landmark, the U.S.S Sequoia was built in 1925. This 104’ (31.7m) yacht was most known for being the presidential yacht for Herbert Hoover and his administration. It is rumored that Marilyn Monroe was a guest on the U.S.S Sequoia during former president Kennedy’s term. Everyone from presidents, models, public figures, and entertainers have spent time aboard a Trumpy Yacht. It was not until 1930 that the U.S.S Sequoia was auctioned off in 1977 for $286,000. According to the Trumpy yacht Association, more than 400 yachts were built. Today, however, less than 70 Trumpy Yachts remain. 

Cruising through the water on a Trumpy Yacht is a unique experience, to say the least. For those accustomed to yachts with fiberglass or steel hulls, a wooden yacht such as The Trumpy offers a unique experience. Wooden boats allow more give, moving through the water ever so swiftly. While Trumpy Yachts would not win any speed contests, the smooth, leisurely ride is a relaxing experience, to say the least.  

Trumpy Yachts were made for the rich and famous. Their glamourous appeal boasts not only size but functionality. Most Trumpy Yachts feature three staterooms, sleeping up to six guests. Most Trumpy yachts also feature a full galley, crew quarters, and a generous main salon. All Trumpy Yachts feature a similar design. Trumpy Yachts feature a white hull made of wood. The classic white wood contrasts the darker wooden details found on each Trumpy.  

Worth Avenue Yachts is proud to have several different Trumpy Motor Yachts listed. M/Y AURORA, M/Y SIRIUS, M/Y DOVETAIL, M/Y WISHING STAR, ENTICER, and FREEDOM are currently available for sale or fractional shares. To inquire about any of our Trumpy listings, feel free to contact us on our website, www.worthavenueyachts.com , or via email at [email protected] . 

For those who appreciate American craftsmanship, Trumpy Yachts are a fascinating symbol of 19th-century yachting culture. Whether you are enjoying a leisurely breakfast on the sundeck or hunkering down for a journey down the East coast, consider letting a Trumpy Yacht take you there.  

Unfortunately, we currently do not have any Trumpy yachts listed in our inventory. However, our knowledgeable brokers can assist you in locating and acquiring the perfect Trumpy vessel, even if it's not currently advertised on the market.

Dream Boats: The vintage appeal of Trumpy yachts

Some boats have stage presence. When they enter a harbor, every head turns. Trumpy motoryachts have that hard-to-define appeal. Like a Frank Lloyd Wright house or a Rolls Royce, they are a product of their time yet possess a timeless appeal.

Built from the 1920s to 1970s, Trumpy yachts are a study in elegance. Their sleek profile, crisp white hulls and polished wood detailing exude luxury and leisure.

Although more than 400 were built, each Trumpy was meticulously handcrafted to the owner’s specifications. While every Trumpy is unique, the boats have a signature look and always the essential Trumpy embellishment: carved wood scrollwork on the bow that, on close inspection, incorporates a capital T. In their heyday, the boats were de rigueur for members of the aristocracy, among them aviation pioneer Howard Hughes, the Chrysler family and the Duponts.

The name comes from Norwegian-born Naval architect John Trumpy Sr., who began building yachts in Camden Yard in Gloucester City, N.J., but in 1947, Trumpy & Sons moved their shipbuilding operation to Annapolis, Md. When Trumpy Sr. died in 1963, his son John Jr. continued the tradition until 1974, when a triple play of rising costs, labor strikes and the popularity of fiberglass put him out of business.

Perhaps the most famous Trumpy was the USS Sequoia , built in 1925 and now a designated National Historic Landmark. It might also be the most famous boat in the United States. The elegant 104-foot vessel served as the U.S. presidential yacht from the Herbert Hoover administration in the 1930s until Jimmy Carter had it auctioned off in 1977 for $286,000.

The Sequoia was the setting for many notable events: FDR and Eisenhower planned D-Day onboard; Truman made the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima, Kennedy celebrated his last birthday, and Nixon spent his last night as president aboard (accompanied by a bottle of whiskey) before resigning the next day.

Truman reportedly had a fit of rage onboard when he lost a poker game and damaged the table with a cigar cutter. In a calmer moment he had a piano installed in the main salon that he and Nixon enjoyed playing (although in separate decades). Hoover raised some hackles by featuring the Sequoia on the 1932 White House Christmas card at a time when so many Americans were struggling to buy food during the Great Depression.

The yacht fell into disrepair after it was sold by Carter and became the subject of rancorous legal entanglements . More recently the Sequoia got a $5 million makeover and has returned to Washington, D.C., waters. It is now available for charter or special events.

Trumpys are the ultimate Dream Boats. It’s easy to envisage a leisurely, even presidential afternoon aboard, dining in formal elegance or fishing off the back deck. Many of these boats have been lovingly cared for over the years and still show up on the market. Our gallery (at the top) features four beauties currently for sale, from a 1937 model to the third-to-last Trumpy built in 1972.

Experience Retro-Luxury on a Trumpy Motor Yacht

You know you want it...

Mocka Jumbies and Rum...

Modern boats boast fiberglass hulls, prefabricated components and fast engines. But some boaters would rather turn back the clock a few decades to the classic wooden boats built for relaxed, refined yachting.

From 1909-1974, renowned naval architect John Trumpy designed innovative wooden boats starting with ferries, naval patrol boats and trawlers. Later, he designed runabouts and tenders, working up to his distinctive sailing and motor yachts. His yachts stimulate the senses with crisp lines, distinctive hull and bow shapes, “tumblehome” aft sections, wide varnished accent stripes on a white hull, quiet Detroit Diesel engines and a smooth ride. Owners included the titans of industry and eight U.S. presidents.

As per John Trumpy’s grandson, Johan Trumpy, John grew up in the family shipyard in Norway, obtained a degree in naval architecture in Germany, worked in Norway until the yard was sold, emigrated to America and worked as an architect for New York Ship in Camden NJ before co-founding Mathis Yacht Building Co.,which became John Trumpy & Sons, Inc.

According to the Trumpy Yacht Association (www.trumpyyachts.org), more 400 yachts were built. Today, less than 70 Trumpys remain, including one motorsailer and only two sailboats. Not all of the 70 survivors are pristine, since they require daily upkeep. Most Trumpy motor yacht owners try to use original replacement parts and adhere to period appropriate interiors. The maintenance of a wooden boat includes multiple layers of paint and varnish, and repairing or replacing any wood damaged by worms, rough bottoms, water and salt.

Owning one requires love, devotion and a thick wallet. Not everyone can afford this kind of yacht, but the opportunity to temporarily experience the Trumpy lifestyle is attainable. Many owners make their yachts available for a few hours, a day, evening, weekend or weekly charter. Destinations and itineraries are personal, with a custom price.

Charter base fees include the yacht, crew numbers and insurance. Additional fees include meals, fuel, dock fees, the function requirements (like a band or cocktail party) while docked or en route, dietary restrictions and special requests. Advanced reservations are needed to plan corporate events, parties, dinners, weddings, short charters and longer cruises during different seasons and locations.

1966 Windrush

These yachts are expertly crewed, some by their owners, like Capt. Bill Iler and First Mate/Chef Connie Iler aboard Windrush, a 55-foot, 1966 Trumpy cruiser the Annapolis-based couple purchased in 2005.

“She reflects the less-formal style of that decade compared to the first half of the 20th century,” says Capt. Iler. “We try to be true to the best parts of the 60s and Trumpy style while ignoring others, like some of the greens and other less-spectacular aspects of style from that era. Good style doesn’t go out of style, so we’ve kept the beautiful varnished woodwork and most of the original Trumpy fixtures and furnishings – or near look-alikes.”

The classic furnishings are complemented by modern accessories. The Windrush experience is like being welcomed to the Ilers’ historic home, with all the comforts and individual attention a guest expects. Connie Iler oversees the five-star service onboard, accommodating six guests for day cruises, or four overnight guests.

“It is a three bedroom/three bath home on the water,” says Capt. Iler. “Unlike a cruise ship, you determine your own itinerary, and we serve meals and refreshments tailored to your specific preferences. Chartering one of these vessels is probably one of the best ways to experience what it is like to own one.”

Their most popular cruise packages are a 3 day/2 night excursion costing from $2,500- $3,500, for 2-4 people, or the “Vacation Week” for 8 days/7 nights ranging from $7,000-$11,000, for 2-4 people. Cruises run in the Florida Keys, through the Intracoastal Waterway, to the Chesapeake Bay, depending on the season. Visit www.americanclassicyachting.com for details.

1939 Washingtonian

If you would prefer to experience the glamorous, “old money,” Trumpy lifestyle, then a cruise on the Washingtonian is an option. Built in 1939 for financier AG Drexel Paul, she is one of 20 pre-WWII Trumpys still in service.

Capt. James Twaddle, with over 30 years of experience in managing and operating these yachts, has the helm. Mr. Berger also has his Captain’s license and 100 ton Master and helps out when he’s not working as an architect.

Onboard, expect 20th century elegance with 21st century amenities. Sticking true to the original design of the yacht, the exposed curved beams in the saloon and pilothouse and trims are highlighted.  Much of the crew quarters, all the lighting and the engines are original. The formal saloon has two navy linen sofas, a 1939-drop leaf Trumpy Captain’s desk and an original Trumpy coffee table that converts to a dining table for six people.

Appropriately, there is a portrait of George Washington below deck. “This was on the boat and we thought it was fun, so we left it,” says Tracy Berger.

The Bergers are the eighth owners of the Washingtonian. The vessel has passed USCG inspections to accommodate up to 29 passengers and two crew for dinners, parties, weddings, business meetings, or a sunset cruise. On weekend cruises, she can accommodate six overnight passengers.

The Washingtonian caters events through partner hotels in destinations along the East Coast. An average sunset cruise for 25 people runs about $4,000, including crew, catering, food/beverage servers and of course, the sunset, says Paul Berger.

May-October, the Washingtonian will be in St. Michaels, Maryland. October-November, she’s in Charleston, S.C., area, and mid-November-April, she docks at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla. Visit www.thewashingtonianyacht.com for more information.

A Trumpy Captain’s Life

Strolling along the marinas in places like Annapolis, Md., Beaufort, N.C. or Palm Beach, Fla., one expects to see impressive sailboats, yachts and mega yachts. But if you’re fortunate to see a Trumpy yacht docked in the marina, you will probably whistle, look a little starry-eyed and say, “Wow!”

“When we’re in port, with all the new, huge yachts nearby, people want to look at the Trumpys, not the other ones,” says Capt. Ted Schmidt of the Trumpy motor yacht America.

Capt. Schmidt, 70, has been on boats for five decades and became a captain 20 years ago. In college he studied philosophy and math, which has given him the right perspectives on life. He has a romantic vibe with eyes that twinkle while he speaks of being at sea.

“I have a familiarity and love of boats, wooden boats and sailing boats,” says Schmidt. “I know how a wooden boat should be treated; I watch the repairs and know when things are done right.”

The Michigan native and avid scuba diver now resides in Florida, close to the marina where he can attend to the America each day. “I’m away from home and it’s hard on relationships,” he says. While on a charter, 18-hour days are the norm.

On the positive side, he adds there is “no institutional stress, and usually I know more than the boss, who knows little about the workings of the boat. They know how much is spent.”

Generally America is in Florida December to May and then up to Long Island for the summer. “The boat is part of my life and my home; it’s a nice environment in nice marinas with other nice boats to be around,” he says.

Tensions and hostility against america’s cup sailing competition ‘for the rich’ in barcelona.

Resentment against the effects of massive tourism has been brewing for years in Barcelona, and that sentiment has reached new heights this summer precisely as the America’s Cup , the world’s premier sailing competition, starts and becomes the latest target of protests and criticism.

Protesters are blasting the oldest sporting race in the world that runs from August 22 to October 27 as ‘elitist and opaque’, claiming that it’s “just for rich people,” driving up prices for locals and putting the Spanish city under more pressure.

The Platform Against the America’s Cup, created last year to fight “against an event that will generate mass tourism and is already causing the massive diversion of housing to seasonal rentals,” as stated on their site, has said that new protests against the event are being organized as six teams compete to claim the 37th victory of the yacht race .

“A lot of people involved in the race have taken up long-term rents on apartments in the city center and pushed up prices for local people,” Martí Cuso of the Platform warned. “There will be protests coming in the first week of September.”

Poster by The Platform Against the America’s Cup in Barcelona

According to the daily La Vanguardia of Barcelona, “the America's Cup 2024 disguises the agony of beach clubs in Barcelona and all Catalonia.”

The article explains how, paradoxically, the celebration in Barcelona of the oldest regatta in the world coincides with the demolition of local nautical clubs. “This global event hides the anguish of Catalan sailing clubs threatened by a rigid enforcement of the State Coastal Law.”

“The great legacy that the Cup will bring for Barcelona is the recovery of the coast,” Barcelona’s mayor told El Periodico newspaper.

Looking for “Quality Tourism”....for the rich

From the official side, The America’s Cup — the ultimate sporting competition for the super-rich — is, in fact, an effort by city officials to attract “quality, rather than quantity” tourism.

The yacht competition is sponsored by the luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton , which in late May had already organized a star-studded fashion show in the Park Güell, one of Barcelona’s most popular tourist attractions, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí, that caused serious clashes between residents protesting the closure of the park for the glitzy event and baton-wielding police charging at protesters.

Since then, anger has been growing over the fact that the city is being overrun by tourists and glitzy international events to the detriment of local life.

“Local people say they have been bombarded with calls from estate agents and speculators wanting to buy their homes to cash in on the event, which they say is pushing up rents” the Guardian writes.

Displaced by the crowds

Much of the local population has already been driven out of the areas of Barcelona most affected by mass tourism and campaigners fighting for more stringent controls argue that “rather than attracting a ‘better’, high-spending type of tourist, events such as the America’s Cup simply bring more people to a city already struggling to cope with the mass of visitors.”

Those who live near hot spots in the city are frustrated with daily life where, as reported in the New York Times , they feel “displaced by the crowds; pollution along the waterfront where massive cruise ships dock; and everywhere, it seems, an apparent disregard for local culture.”

Jaume Collboni, the socialist mayor of Barcelona, has said that the contest will bring €1.2 billion in revenue for the city, and create jobs. Critics, on the other hand, say that the potential income from the lavish competition will be enjoyed by few as the tournament itself is followed mostly by the elites.

“This is not like the Olympics, where people are interested in the sport,” Cuso told the web news site i . “This is just for rich people who can afford to go and see the yachts on their own boats at sea.”

He went further to explain that the yachts are sponsored by luxury brands that want to use Barcelona to promote their products.

Tensions and hostility rising

Tensions over tourism that finally boiled over into outright hostility has triggered splashy headlines globally, such as the incident last month when some 3,000 residents took to the streets to protest against tourism , some squirting visitors on the city’s famed boulevard Las Ramblas with water guns.

In 2023, 12 million tourists visited Barcelona, a city of 1.6 million residents, making it the favorite destination in Spain. This year, tourism officials ex[ect at least 13 million visitors.

“Their impact includes skyrocketing housing prices, dirty beaches, crowded thoroughfares and the transformation of historic neighborhoods into what locals refer to as “theme parks,” The New York Times writes.

Barcelona is the second Spanish city to host the competition. Valencia hosted two consecutive editions in 2007 and 2010.

Security reinforcements

As for the multi-million pound America’s Cup, a major security operation has been launched around the event and competition areas with more than 650 police deployed in land, six boats patrolling the sea and helicopters flying above Barcelona. The Civil Guard has also deployed divers to reinforce security at sea.

Following years of technological innovation and hundreds of millions of euros of investment from super-rich backers, the Emirates Team New Zealand will be defending the title against challenges by boats from Italy, Switzerland, France, the U.K. and the U.S.

At the round-robin stage, which will last until September 8, each challenger crew races each other twice, with the top four progressing to the semi-finals. Those Challengers of Record will face-off against the reigning champions in a series of races in October.

Most of the teams have had established bases for training in Port Vell, the city’s old port, since last year.

The America’s Cup was first staged on the Isle of Wight in 1851 and is claimed to be the oldest international sporting event in the world. It was last held in 2021 in Auckland, New Zealand, and was won by the hosts.
