Are you ready for an adventure? Join us for a single-night or multi-night sailing adventure 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. We simply can't wait to share the Evans experience with you!

We specialize in kid-friendly family trips aboard the Evans. For 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. Our atmosphere is casual, so kick off your shoes and go barefoot if you'd like. 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. If you prefer to sail without children, consider joining us in June and September when younger sailors are in school.

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 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.
 
This season marks the 127th 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. Only about 600 people will have the opportunity to experience the Evans this year - wouldn't you like to be one of them?
