Get Hooked at Sea 7

Save your spot now!

Join us for the next rug hooking adventure on the J&E Riggin on September 14 – 18, 2025 out of Rockland, Maine.

Our 2025 teacher is Charlie Dalton! Stay tuned for a full course description.

Our trip includes:

Ten gourmet meals cooked by a professional chef on the wood burning stove, including a grand all-you-can-eat lobster bake on a beautiful Maine island. Coffee, tea, and most often snacks are available all day in the galley.
Four nights aboard the National Historic Landmark Schooner J&E Riggin, sailing Penobscot Bay by day to island hop, go into beautiful Maine villages, or hike. And, there is never seasickness in these protected waters.
Inspiring instruction with an expert rug hooking artist. No prior hooking experience necessary!
All materials needed for your rug hooking project; you just bring your hook and scissors!
A hand stamped 207 Creatives canvas zipped tote that contains a brand new hardwood, gripper strip rug hooking frame and an assortment of other gifts.
A small surprise gift bag as a token of our appreciation that you joined us for this trip of a lifetime.

This summer’s trip will be September 14 – 18, boarding the evening of the 14th at 5 PM and back in port before 11 AM on the 18th. The price of the trip is $1895 USD for new sailors and $1795 USD for previous sailors.

If you would like to bring a cabin-mate who is not participating in the class, they may also join us for $1795 USD.

Payment plans are available! IF you need a more spread-out payment plan than is listed on our registration form, please contact us and we can very likely accommodate it for you.

We are so looking forward to this year’s experience and hope you will join us!
