The Challenge

The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is the premier event in ocean rowing and the Worlds toughest row – A challenge that will take rowers more than 3000 Miles west from San Sebastian in La Gomera, Spain to Nelson’s Dockyard, English Harbour, Antigua.
The race takes participants over 3,000 miles unaided across the Atlantic Ocean. More people have reached the summit of Everest or travelled into space than have successfully rowed an ocean.

The World's
Toughest Row

In December 2022, we will depart La Gomera, Canary Islands aiming to be the first “Pairs rowers” to reach Antigua. Once clear of the harbour in La Gomera we will be on our own until we reach Antigua. Out on the ocean we will be completely self-sufficient as we propel the 23ft boat for more than 3,000 nautical miles…
An endurance race like no other, rowers can be at sea for over two months during which they will be pushed to their physical, mental and emotional limits.
‘Steve and Pete will experience sleep deprivation, exhaustion, hallucinations, isolation, extreme weather and other vulnerabilities as well as health, nutrition and hydration issues.’

Our Causes

We are passionate about conservation and are supporting the first Rewild Carbon project in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The project aims to restore 4,500 hectares of vital forest corridors by 2030.

Beth Gallichan from Durrell advised, ‘Durrell’s mission as a charity is to save species from extinction, but in order to save species, you also need to save their habitat. We have worked to restore and protect some of the most threatened habitats on the planet over the last 60 years. This not only saves species, it has the added benefit of capturing and sequestering carbon, repairing the damage humans have caused to nature.’
