Jesse Martin

On October 31st 1999, aged 18, Jesse sailed into the record books when he became the youngest person in history to circumnavigate the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted in his 34-foot yacht Lionheart. Since then Jesse has continued pursuing adventures aboard sailing boats. In 2002 he lead the ill-fated Journey of Kijana in which he and five friends set sail on an expected 3-year voyage around the world.

In 2004 Jesse founded The Imajica Experience and subsequently spent much of his time leading adventure sail expeditions aboard the Schooner Majestic throughout the islands of Papua New Guinea. He is the author of two best-selling books, Lionheart and Kijana.

In 2003 he was awarded the Order of Australia medal for his services to youth.

Jesse lives and works in Melbourne Australia in film and television production. Most recently in his directorial debut, the documentary of the ill-fated Kijana journey 5 Lost At Sea will air on the ABC in early 2010.
