TWIN FLAME 77 Yacht Charter Catamaran

Captain Martin Liscinsky

Originally from the mountains of Slovakia, Martin is passionate about adventure, sport and the great outdoors. Growing up, he spent his time mountain biking, white-water rafting, climbing and sailing the Croatian coastline with his family during the summer.
Martin has worked as a professional yacht captain for the past nine years. He began his career in the Mediterranean before spending four years in the Caribbean and the British Virgin Islands. Most recently, he captained a yacht halfway around, sailing from Newport, US through the Panama Canal, Galápagos Islands, French Polynesia and the South Pacific before arriving in Australia.
An avid diver, Martin has been fortunate to explore some of the world’s most spectacular underwater destinations. His favourite dive sites include Fiji, Bonaire, the Galápagos Islands and Thailand. 

After completing his Divemaster certification in Greece, he is
passionate about sharing the beauty of the underwater world with guests and creating unforgettable experiences both above and below the surface.
 

With an adventurous spirit, calm leadership and a genuine love for life on the water, Martin enjoys introducing guests to hidden anchorages, pristine reefs and incredible destinations. When he’s not sailing, you’ll likely find him kiteboarding, enjoying a game of
chess, or planning his next adventure.

aboard yachts across the Mediterranean, Caribbean and South Pacific, including completing a journey half way around the world as a part of the Oyster World Rally, creating fresh, seasonal menus while sailing remote and beautiful destinations.
 

Tamara trained at Ashburton Cookery School in England and Sydney Cooking School, and continues to develop her culinary skills through travel and hands-on experiences. She has also completed seasonal placements on boutique vineyards in Italy, gaining insight into regional produce, local food traditions and sustainable farming practices.

that enhance every charter.
