Odin Marine is owned and operated by Sam Liddell and Kellan Martin, two boaties who have made what they love doing a reason to leap out of bed in the morning.
Meet Sam
I grew up with boats - I started out sailing optis and starlings as a kid before discovering the thrill of motors and launches. When I left school it made sense to do an apprenticeship with Haines Hunter. And I haven’t looked back.
I really like the challenge of working on a range of boats, whether it’s showing someone’s starling a bit of love, or sprucing up a larger launch.
When I’m not working, you’re likely to find me out on the water, or in it - I love freediving and Wakeboarding.
Meet Kellan
What I love about my work is getting to take boat owners ideas and make them happen - I love the creative process and seeing everything come together. Especially if I’ve custom-made the dash and installed new instruments and electronics.
My proudest work moment so far has to be establishing the business because it lets me do what I love every day. Although finishing a job and handing the boat back is really fulfilling.
When I’m not at work I might be spearfishing or dirt-track racing, but I’m pretty spontaneous and love a random adventure, so who knows.
