LIQUID ZEN

Crew Info:

Born and raised on 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 big city life in order to pursue a lifestyle of travel and adventure. Initially gaining his qualifications as an advanced terrain ski guide and spending a couple of seasons living in the mountains, before swapping the snow for a life at sea.

Max has a fascination with the ocean, and a passion for hospitality, personally tailoring each voyage to your wishes and preferences. Aiming to ensure you have a unique and unforgettable experience and aspiring to leave you with a shared love for the high seas and the adventures they hold.


I’m a seasoned chef with over 7 years of experience working in a variety of kitchens around the world. My culinary journey began at my grandmother’s side, where I discovered the magic of home-cooked meals and the secret ingredients of time and love.

My passion for travel eventually led me to life as a yacht chef — the perfect blend of my two greatest loves: food and exploration. I specialize in creating vibrant, globally inspired dishes using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients.

Beyond cooking, I thrive on connecting with people and crafting not just meals, but unforgettable dining experiences in extraordinary settings.
