Niall Rhys Evans originally from Cheltenham UK, educated at Cheltenham College, now lives in Guernsey.

Niall started sailing at 6 years old and proceeded to sail with his grandfather in traditional yachts, West Wales, Welsh Coast, SW UK, Irish Sea, West Coast of Scotland up to the age of 19 when he completed his Yacht Master. Niall then took up and completed a joinery apprenticeship. However, sailing being a large part of his life he went to the South Coast of the UK and became a Yacht Master Instructor Sail and Power and spent a number of years teaching Yacht Master Practical and Shore based courses around the South Coast of the UK, Channel Islands and Biscay. Leaving the South Coast to the Mediterranean he became Captain of large sailboats, covering the Mediterranean and Caribbean eventually moving onto Captain Motor yachts, private and charter for 10 years

A chance meeting with a large UK Marina company offered him a short-term contract to re build a Marina in the Channel Islands, this was an ideal opportunity to take a short break from Captain of Motor Yachts. However, the job was so good he decided to stay and re built and managed the marina over a period of 10 years and also started up his own joinery business which he has now been operating for over 20 years. After completion of the marina Niall was offered a position to go into Superyacht Management and Super Yacht Corporate ownership, which he did for over 10 years while still running his joinery business.

Now Niall spends all his time running his joinery business in Guernsey.
