Captain: Joshua Jacques
Captain Joshua Jacques
Captain Joshua Jacques fell in love with the ocean at a young age. Spending his summers sailing the coast of New England and his winters surfing the cold waters of Maine he knew he wanted to make a life at sea for himself. Jacques began his professional sailing career with the Maine Windjammer fleet up in Rockland Maine spending his summers sailing Penobscot Bay and winters aboard the Tall Ship Lynx transiting the east coast. Jacques and his partner went on to purchase the 1886 Schooner Isaac H. Evans, rescuing the historic vessel and breathing new life and programming into her. Now he looks forward to sharing the beauty of Tree of Life and New England waters with the community
Chief / Mate Samuel Glenn
Chief Mate Samuel Glenn was born in the vast confines of a New York City suburb. In his college years he took off to sail the Caribbean islands, thru hike the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, and Israeli National Trail. In 2017, after a prolonged graduation with a bachelor's degree in hand, he sought work with Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, where he learned fundamental seamanship. He then took his skillset aboard Tall Ship Lynx as a deckhand where he came away with a zest for marlinespike seamanship. After a few more seasons of sailing for Outward Bound, he and his wife Ashley set sail for many adventures together at sea. Directly following a 4,500 nautical mile sea journey, Sammy hit the books and passed his Captains
licensing exams in both the US and British systems. His first commands were the 1924 72’ classic schooner Bagheera and 1926 53’ schooner Heart's Desire for Portland Schooner Company. He now joins Schooner Tree of Life as Chief Mate and vibe curator
Deckhand Zenalyssa Packer
Zenalyssa (Zen) Packer grew up in the mountains of Massachusetts while sailing the summers in Rhode Island Sound, Vineyard Sound, and Long Island Sound. The summer after graduating high school, she saw Tree of Life at her sailboat’s homeport in Jamestown, Rhode Island and became immediately interested. She worked as crew until October 2023, and fell in love with Tree of Life. During the winter months, Zenalyssa worked on Mystic Whaler in Oxnard, California to help teach youth and adults about sailing and the sea. Zenalyssa is excited to rejoin Tree of Life as crew next summer

The sprawling main saloon and dining area is the perfect place to gather for meals, play a board game, relax and watch a movie, or enjoy beverages while listening to music on the surround sound system.
The chef went above and beyond preparing some delicious nibbles that were flavorful and creative, along with some seared teriyaki sesame swordfish and a lovely fresh watermelon, arugula and mint salad. She impressed further by finishing the meal with a fresh pear pie with a sugared bourbon sauce. Chef prides herself on making meals for guests with fresh ingredients and providing something they cannot normally get at a restaurant. She takes pride in her cuisine and it shows. Fine dishware and stemware round out the dining experience.
In fact, each member of the crew are so warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and pleasant - guests will find themselves instantly at ease.
The two brand new Douglas fir Masts are impressive, with all new leatherwork, and attention to detail is everywhere, from luxurious bathrobes in each cabin, hand crafted flower vases to replace the outdated 'phone cubbies' previously in place (with fresh flowers always aboard), and brass lanterns hung on deck each evening.
I was able to 'try out' the sun lounges - which are truly the 'best seat in the house' on the foredeck, where you can relax and sunbathe, or read a book out of the way of lines, but still able to take in the scenery.
In summary, TREE OF LIFE offers a great value for a comfortable Schooner - suitable for a family or 3 couples. The two doubles forward do taper slightly - and the crew can put a lee board to separate them to singles for families requiring.“ - Emily Mack
