The 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 annual race begins in early December, with up to 30 teams participating from around the world. The race structure brings together an environment where teams from across the globe gather in the race village San Sebastian in La Gomera, Canary Islands. The atmosphere is electric as people help each other prepare for the challenge of the mighty Atlantic Ocean. All with the same objective – to take on the unique experience of crossing an ocean in a rowing boat.
