BIG EAGLE’s Beer-fueled History

BIG EAGLE was built in 1980 in Japan. For years, she was owned by the late-Bernie Little, a Budweiser beer distributor based in Florida. He further owned the successful Miss Budweiser hydroplane racing team. Yachts were a real passion, with Little owning, and selling, a few yachts christened  Big Eagle,  an homage to the trademarked symbol of Budweiser’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch.

BIG EAGLE  was a popular charter yacht under his ownership, a practice that continues today under her current American owners. Her 172 feet allows for a number of intimate and expansive relaxation spaces. Particularly noteworthy is the creation of a sports bar forward of the saloon. That was done during her last major refit in 2008.

The cinematic-like capture embedded below isn’t the first time that BIG EAGLE  has been a film star of sorts. Movie buffs among you may recall that she appeared in the 1996 movie  Striptease,  starring Demi Moore. The megayacht’s nameboard was changed to  Big Sugar  in the film. (Information credit to  Diane M. Byrne   on 06.08.16)

The Captain is a Woman

There are a select few women yacht captains of luxury megayachts in our industry; most have been influenced by their family and love of the sea.

Captain Christina Virgilio is a rare success story, having now 20 years onboard BIG EAGLE.  Christiana grew up in San Diego, California. Her childhood revolved around the water; sailing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, and water-skiing. Almost every summer was spent on her family’s sailboat. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in Economics, she decided to travel and have some fun working on sailboats.

Twenty years later the yachting industry is her career. Christiana served as the 1st Mate on board for four years before she obtained her captain’s license. She then served as the 1st Mate and relief captain for Atlantic Crossings and other passages. In November 2006, she became the Captain onboard BIG EAGLE. She is also a divemaster and enjoys guiding the guests on dives.
