BORROWED BOUNTY

Crew Profile

CAPTAIN
Max Wilkinson

Max was born and raised alongside a coastal national park on the east coast of Australia. Growing up on the beach, exploring the rugged coastline, and surfing its waves sparked an early fascination with the ocean and its marine life.

After relocating with his family back to the UK and studying in London for a decade, Max made a conscious decision to leave the city life in order to pursue a lifestyle of travel and adventure. Initially gaining his qualifications as an advanced terrain ski guide, he spent several seasons living in the mountains before eventually swapping the snow for a life at sea.

Max has a fascination with the ocean and a passion for hospitality. He personally tailors each voyage per guest preference and aims to ensure that each charter is unique and holds unforgettable experiences. His aspiration is that each guest leaves with a shared love of the sea and the adventures they hold.
