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 four 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.
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 we're proud to offer award winning vacations. We were also featured on the cover of the 2004 Maine Invites You: Maine's Official Travel Planner and on the Maine Official Highway Map. We take great pride in the Isaac H. Evans and we're sure you will too.
This season marks the 122nd anniversary for the Evans and we hope you come
celebrate
with us!

We just got married on May 25th and
we're excitedly sharing our first days as husband and wife. We had a
most spectacular wedding weekend surrounded by family and friends and
have so many people to thank for their help, ideas, support, gifts, and
attendance. The sailing season starts soon and we now will get back to
putting the finishing touches on the schooner so everything is
ship-shape for our first guests. Because we'll be sailing soon, the
honeymoon will take place in
October after the Evans is put away for the winter...and the best part
is that Capt. Brenda has no idea
where she is going...just like each day on the schooner! Brian, is
making all the plans and it will be kept a
surprise for as long as possible.
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 believe Brian has made arrangements for the honeymoon. There will be a prize awarded to the person that most closely guessed and it will be something from the honeymoon destination.
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 are already coming in).
Here's the link for information
about our wedding.
There's only one picture right now but more will come later. Enjoy!
