Marc Wilson
Originally from Durban, South Africa, Captain Marc has spent a lifetime on the water. After growing up sailing, surfing, and competing in cricket and rugby, he served as a Full Corporal Section Leader in the South African Defense Force before joining South Africa's National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), conducting surf and offshore rescue missions. After arriving in the United States in 2001, Captain Marc earned his U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Master's License for both power and sailing vessels in 2003.
With more than three decades of professional maritime experience, Captain Marc has managed yacht programs throughout South Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the U.S. East Coast. A certified PADI Divemaster with extensive knowledge of sportfishing and watersports, he has captained and supported numerous Bahamas fishing tournaments while creating exceptional experiences for guests on the water. Prior to taking the helm of M/Y SPECTRE, Marc spent over 20 years working with the owner's family aboard multiple large motor yachts, earning a reputation for professionalism, discretion, and outstanding service.
When he's not navigating spectacular cruising destinations, Captain Marc's adventurous spirit continues ashore. He has led multi-week African safari expeditions across four countries as an overland guide and truck driver, is an avid skydiver, and speaks both English and Afrikaans. His calm leadership, extensive experience, and genuine passion for hospitality ensure every charter aboard M/Y SPECTRE is safe, seamless, and unforgettable.
