The World's Toughest Row
The race formerly known as the The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge takes rowers more than 3000 miles through the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera, Canary Islands to English Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda.
For approximately 60 days, the team will be exposed to the caprice of the Atlantic, that is considered to be the wildest and most dangerous of the five oceans. Come and be a part of Maurizio and Tobias' most extreme journey of their lives and their campaign to clean the oceans from plastic pollution.

Our Mission: Cleaner Oceans for us and Future Generations
The purpose of Dare to Row is to raise money and awareness for The Ocean Cleanup, an international non-profit organization that is leading the biggest Ocean Cleanup in history.
We are fighting for cleaner oceans by:
- Organizing events and a social media campaign to raise funds for the Ocean Cleanup and awareness of the increasing problem of marine micro-plastic pollution.
- Collecting water probes for micro-plastic analysis. We are exploring options to fit our boat with cameras for data collection during the row. The thereby gained information can be used by The Ocean Cleanup to plan the ideal cleaning routes in years to come.
- Participating and coordinating cleanup events to remove litter and trash, including plastics and other non-biodegradable materials from our beaches, lakes and rivers.
By supporting our campaign, you'll be able to:
- Contribute to the largest ocean cleanup in history.
- Improve the lives of all marine species and help save some from extinction.
- Have a positive impact on the planet.
So grab your paddles (or just a megaphone), and let’s make waves for a cleaner ocean. Join the fun and let’s tackle ocean plastic together!
