Change a Life


Each summer Egan Maritime employs the Tall Ship Lynx to take island youth out for three or seven day sails as part of their working crew. This sail is free of charge and offered to every middle school and high school island student. It is a transformational experience for them. These youth, known as our Student Mariners, return to shore with a vigorous sense of self, appreciation for teamwork, and an inspired vision for their future.

One 2017 Student Mariner, Grant, enjoyed his trip so much he spent his summer working aboard Lynx. He said, “I am so happy that I did this trip, because without it, I would have never known or wanted to learn about sailing as much as I do now. This trip has allowed me to do an internship on Lynx and get a feel for what it’s like to be part of the crew. I see this as a possible career for my future that I know I would love.”

Honor Nantucket's Lifesavers


Egan Maritime's Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum is the island's only cultural organization dedicated to celebrating the heroism of the island's brave men and women who risked their lives to rescues others. We are proud to honor them by ensuring that their extraordinary deeds in the selfless service of others will be shared in perpetuity and, inspire future generations with their noble sense of duty.

The Museum operates annually with a deficit. Therefore all gifts made to the Annual Fund will help to offset its expenses and also ensure that the stories of Nantucket's shipwrecks and lifesavers will never be forgotten.

No One Else Does Our Work


No island school, public or private, or other cultural institution does the work of Egan Maritime. We seed the future with mariners. We give students opportunities they’ve never had before to experience the sea and what it is like to live and work on the water.

Since launching the program with Middle School students in 2013, sixteen of Egan Maritime’s Student Mariners have graduated from Nantucket High School and, of those sixteen students, five of them have gone on to Maritime Academies or Institutions to continue their education in the maritime world.
