MAMBO Yacht Charter Motor Boat

Captain Max Davis
Captain Max hails from Miami, Florida, where he grew up surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Treasure Coast and the Florida Keys. His childhood was filled with exhilarating adventures—diving, spearfishing, and offshore fishing. His passion for marine life led him to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology, which he earned from both Florida State University (FSU) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU).
After graduating in 2009, Max immediately dove into a career on the water. He began working with the USDA on aquaculture research, later contributing to efforts tracking the movement of crude oil during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In 2016, Max enhanced his qualifications with a USCG 100-ton captain’s license and an STCW certification, transitioning into the offshore construction industry. It was then that he found his true calling in the yachting world.
Max spent five years as First Mate, Engineer, and relief captain aboard MY Mambo, a highly successful private and charter yacht based in the Exumas. During his time on Mambo, he was responsible for overseeing multiple yacht refits and managing charters. His expertise in fishing, diving, spearfishing, and discovering hidden beaches and sandbars created unforgettable experiences for guests.
After his time on Mambo, Max went on to safely deliver numerous vessels across the East Coast of the U.S., the Bahamas, and even the Great Lakes. When he's not working, Max enjoys offshore fishing for large pelagic species, traveling, and discovering new places. With his vast knowledge of the Bahamas and his deep passion for fishing, Max is committed to ensuring your stay is exceptional. Whether you're seeking thrilling adventures or a peaceful retreat on a secluded beach, Max is dedicated to curating the perfect vacation experience for you.
