Hello, I'm Brenda Thomas, captain
of the Isaac
H. Evans, one of Maine's famous windjammers. My husband Brian
and
I simply can't
wait to share the Evans
experience with you! We take our guests on
3,
4, and 6-day sailing adventures on Penobscot Bay, often called
the
best
cruising grounds in the world. With Maine as a backdrop it's hard to go
wrong; islands, lobster, lighthouses, eagles, osprey, seals, the
occasional whale...the way life should be! We would like to welcome you
aboard next summer, but until then, you can visit
these
pages to get a better idea of what we do and learn why sailing with us
is the perfect choice for
your safe and
relaxing vacation adventure.
The Evans
specializes in
family
trips. We
started designating
special "family trips" in 1988
and in 1999 decided to welcome children on all but our week long
cruises. For the past several years we've been welcoming children on
all
of our cruises and have
earned the reputation of "the family boat" because we spend lots of
time exploring ashore and have activities and foods for the whole
family. We don't stress education, but everyone learns something about
nature, maritime history, and teamwork on a schooner. We even carry our
own lobster traps and fishing poles! Anyone
age 6 and older is welcome on any of our adventures; younger guests
welcomed on a case-by-case basis.
But family trips don't
necessarily mean lots of
young children. We've found that more and more families are joining us
for multi-generational celebrations; reunions, birthdays, and
anniversaries. The Evans
is
also perfect for corporate retreats, weddings, and other special events.
Picture being anchored in a quiet
harbor eating a
delightful
dinner on deck. Our combination of excellent food, knowledgeable crew,
unmatched scenery and a magnificent vessel with modern conveniences,
makes
for an unforgettable vacation. We're
the only windjammer to have
received the Maine Tourism Award. It's a
great
honor and I'm proud to offer award winning vacations. We were also
featured
on the cover of the 2004 and 2009 Maine
Invites You: Maine's Official Travel
Planner
and on the 2004 Maine Official Highway Map. We take great pride in the Isaac H.
Evans and
we're
sure you will too.
Next season marks the 124th anniversary
for the Evans and
we hope you come
celebrate
with us! Space is limited so if you see anything that
interests you, make sure you
reserve
your berth as soon as possible. Write us (PO Box 791, Rockland, ME
04841)
or call toll free 1-877-238-1325 and we'll send you a free full color
brochure
and schedule. Also, be sure to visit our links page to view photos
taken by previous guests (one link has 150 images!)

One of the fun events at the wedding was a "guess the honeymoon location" game where everyone placed a numbered pin on a map of the world where they believed Brian had made arrangements for the honeymoon. There were two winners and both received a prize for guessing the honeymoon destination....
Maui!
Many of our wedding
guests were unable
to hear portions of our ceremony because of wind or seating and have asked to have a copy of our ceremony and vows. We
will be thrilled to share that with everyone as well as some of the pictures that people sent to us.
Here's the link
for information
about our
wedding. Enjoy!
