LIONHEART
Jesse Martin OAM shot to fame in 1999 as The World’s Youngest Sailor to Circumnavigate the Globe, Solo, Unassisted and Non-Stop.
Now, the legendary adventurer and his brother, Beau are encouraging all Australians to come bareboating in Ancient Ngaro Sea Country.
“We invite you to come and set sail through Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the 74 stunning Islands of the Whitsundays. I’ve sailed the world in a quest to partner with the best,” said Jesse, “and the choice became very clear.”
Jesse and Beau have teamed up exclusively with award-winning bareboat charter operator, Portland Roads – Sailing the Whitsundays.
“You’ll quickly discover why these guys are the future of Bareboat Adventures.” Beau Martin

In 1996, a few years before Jesse’s epic LIONHEART adventure, Beau, Jesse, and their dad, Kon Martin, set sail on the lads’ first adventure on the high seas.
They set out on board a small catamaran to discover the north end of the Queensland Coast and the Great Barrier Reef.
Barely teenagers, the Martins sailed 1,000 nautical miles, discovering the world’s biggest classroom, along with freedom, joy, mateship, resilience, and unlimited discoveries. The thirst for ADVENTURE was born.
Now it’s your turn to discover the wonder, freedom and joy of sailing your own destiny, your own story.
