Alki Watercraft was founded in 2026 after a serendipitous block party that introduced the founders to each other. With a shared love of boating and passion for advanced composites manufacturing, we discovered a vision for a new product designed and built in house to fill a void in the existing boat market.

Alki Watercraft was founded by two couples, Gabe and Ann Mountjoy, and Michael Gonzalez and Bianca Barr. With backgrounds in materials science, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, they share a passion for the outdoors and a love of being on the water.
Gabe and Ann own Common Fibers, a composites manufacturing company located in Seattle. They have over a decade of success designing and building composite parts for supercars, aircraft, and now watercraft.
Michael and Bianca are aerospace engineers with over a decade of professional experience. Michael has lifelong boating experience on the Salish Sea, while Bianca brings expertise in sales, networking, and client relations from her work as a realtor.
