OCEAN WAYS
The Man
He's done this before. He's doing it again.
In 2024, Marc Germiquet rowed solo across the Atlantic in 43 days, 7 hours and 21 minutes, one of fewer than 200 people to ever complete a solo Atlantic crossing. In December 2027, he's doing it again.
Same ocean, same boat, all for a great cause.
What else takes 43 days?
On 12 December 2027, Marc Germiquet departs La Gomera to row solo across the Atlantic — raising funds and awareness for education and conservation work across Botswana.
3,000 miles for a cause worth rowing for.
The ultimate test of human endurance and mental strength
One man. One boat.
World's Toughest Row, Solo Atlantic Crossing
COUNTDOWN UNTIL THE RACE STARTS
From La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in the Caribbean. Solo, unsupported, and entirely self-sufficient. No engine, no resupply, no rescue on standby beyond the race's own safety net. Just a boat, a bucket, and the ocean.
Organised by Atlantic Campaigns, The World's Toughest Row is backed by over 50 years of combined ocean rowing experience and has earned recognition from figures as high-profile as HM King Charles III.
