The Wild Goose wasn’t just John Wayne’s yacht, it was his escape. A floating sanctuary from Hollywood where he spent quiet days with his wife and kids, far from the spotlight. Captain Bert remembers long watches in the wheelhouse, feet propped up, Wayne often by his side. It may have been a converted minesweeper, but for The Duke, it was always a family boat. 📍 Explore more Wild Goose memories at @balboaislandmuseum 🔗 Link in bio for the full exhibit and oral history series | Balboa Island Mus

This iconic boat, once a Navy Minesweeper during WWII, was purchased by John Wayne in 1962. Wild Goose has since had some odd alterations so that she could carry many passengers as a dinner cruise ship for Hornblower Cruises. It’s great to have this treasure still in the harbor.

The Duke's true passion lay in his private yacht, the Wild Goose. This boat was more than just a possession; it was where he shed the burden of Hollywood, where he could be his most authentic self with family and friends. For John Wayne, the sea symbolized absolute freedom, limitless adventure, and his final peaceful harbor. He conquered the ocean through both his roles and his life, confirming that half of his soul remained a sailor forever. | Legends of US History
