Schooner Inc is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and personal growth by providing educational experiences in marine science, sailing, and the history of Long Island Sound and its watershed.

In 2010, Schooner Inc created CT Coastal Classrooms - an umbrella for educational programs.  All programs are centered around hands-on learning opportunities. These programs include academic programs in the classroom, at shore sites and on board the tallship Quinnipiack; teacher training; summer camp adventures; public sails and charters; and attendance at festivals.

Schooner Inc owns and operates the Quinnipiack, the official flagship of New Haven. During the sailing season, the Quinnipiack is berthed at Long Wharf Pier in New Haven.
