The crew of TREE OF LIFE

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

Freelance Chef: Bridget MacBain

As a Newport native with over 15 years of experience in the service industry—spanning high-end restaurants and world-class yachts—I am eager to join Tree of Life as their Summer 2026 freelance Chef. My background is rooted in the high standards of the yachting industry, most recently serving as Chef on M/Y Serena, the mothership to the racing S/Y Dorade. Having logged over 120,000 miles at sea, I have mastered the art of running a self-suffi cient and highly organized galley. I am accustomed to managing all aspects of the culinary experience, from sourcing the finest local ingredients to ensuring a seamless service.

● Adaptable Menus: I am equally comfortable preparing healthy, seasonal family dinners as I am hosting small, formal gatherings for guests.

● Local Expertise: My deep roots in Newport provide me with established relationships with the area’s best purveyors and fish mongers, etc ensuring the highest quality local product is always on the table.

Exquisite Galley and dining area.

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.

TREE OF LIFE Broker Review

“I had a lovely visit aboard TREE OF LIFE in Rockland yesterday. I was warmly welcomed by Captain Joshua and his crew, and they have been doing a ton of work aboard this beauty. I was very impressed to see the two new ensuite heads for the forward guest cabins that Captain Joshua was able to create, while matching the wood grains to create the new doors. The heads are quite spacious for a ship this size and style, with nice clean white subway tile which, while modern, works nicely with the brass fixtures and rainshower.

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

PERFECT NE/NEWPORT EXPERIENCE - May 2026

A group of friends and brokers went out on an afternoon sail with the delightful crew. The yacht looked beautiful and sailed like a dream, the crew were so welcoming and kind and we all had a fantastic day. 5 stars for the TREE OF LIFE!
