McMillen Yachts Inc. was founded by Atlanta, Georgia native Earl McMillen III in 1992 following six years of extensive hands on classic yacht restoration. The purpose of the company was to restore and maintain classic yachts. In 1995, McMillen pioneered the concept of fractional yacht ownership in an effort to allow other people, with a similar interest and less available time, to participate in the same goal.

Block Island Maritime Funding serves as the boat donation program for an ever growing number of maritime related non-profit groups. These groups concentrate on maritime education for youth from all walks of life. Many of our affiliated schools teach boating skills, while others concentrate on marine science, history, boatbuilding, and conservation. Many of these schools offer programs for adults as well. All of them are open to the public.
Our goal is to handle boat donations, so that our partners can concentrate on their respective programs. With our expertise in managing donations, we hope to help other groups avoid the pitfalls that can easily plague a fledgling donation program. Donated boats are either put into direct use by an affiliate with a need for that particular boat, or they are put up for charter to help raise funds to support programs.

Custom Crewed charters aboard: "LADY CATHERINE"
60' classic Trumpy motoryacht built in 1947 ~ Sleeps 4 comfortably in two private staterooms with in-suite baths ~ US Coast Guard licensed Captain ~ 3 day to 7 day private cruises with customized itinerary
For over half a century ending in 1974 Trumpy & Sons built exquisitely crafted wooden motoryachts. Custom designed for Captains of Industry like DuPont, Chrysler, Firestone, Guggenheim and Dodge, these luxurious and spacious yacht were considered the “Rolls-Royce of American motor yachts.” The Presidential Yacht Sequoia, built by Trumpy, served eight United State Presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to JFK and hosted countless celebrities and heads of state. Of the 400 Trumpys built, few remain today. Lady Catherine is one of them. Even more admired today for her quality and timeless beauty, Lady Catherine is the center of attention wherever she cruises.
Step back in time aboard Lady Catherine. A time when the industry giants left the city behind, taking the summer off to cruise the New England coast aboard their Trumpy yachts, complete with Captain and crew.
Admire the breathtaking scenery from the comfort of your aft deck wicker chair as we leisurely cruise the coast and islands of New England. Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, Block Island, Nantucket or the breathtakingly beautiful coast of Maine. We'll work with you to develop a cruising schedule that includes the ports of call you personally select.
Once in port we'll help you plan your idea of a perfect day. Do as little or as much as you want. Spend a lazy day afloat in a remote anchorage. Learn to play dominos in the elegant walnut paneled main salon. Nap in the dappled sunlight on the aft deck settee. Take the yacht's tender ashore for a private evening picnic on a secluded beach. Need a bit more action? We can arrange hiking, biking, fishing, diving, sailing, shopping or dining.
