Evans Maritime was founded in 1994 by Peter and Melissa Evans. Together, they are proud to continue the legacy of the M/V Carmelita and look forward to creating programs and cruising opportunities on the waters of Puget Sound and British Columbia. A licensed skipper for nearly fourteen years, Peter is currently serving as President of the Laird Norton Company. Melissa hails from a long line of seafaring mariners. She has journeyed the globe working in the travel industry and is currently involved in local nonprofit organizations. She holds degrees in Anthropology and Urban Planning and Design.

Peter and Melissa live in Seattle with their children, Perry and Beatrix.

Reed McGuire will be the primary skipper during the 2004 season. He is also the main point of contact for reservations and trip itineraries. He holds a current 100 ton inland masters certificate with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) endorsement. Reed has descended from commercial fishermen in both his mother and father's families and has traveled the world courtesy of his uncle (Sam). After a twenty year career in Naval Aviation, Reed "retired" to live in West Seattle with his wife Susan. Not long after meeting Peter and Melissa (and Carmelita) a new career on the water presented itself and as they say... the rest is history.

Evans Maritime, from time to time, employs guest chefs and alternate, licensed skippers. Contact us about when you would like to cruise and we can determine who will be aboard with you as your shipmates.
