Join the Ultimate Challenge: The Full Circle Expedition
With five of six team members on board, we now seek one more committed rower and six pilots to complete the crew for our Transatlantic expedition.
We’re looking for resilient, driven individuals with a sense of adventure, strong teamwork, and the mental toughness to endure extreme conditions. Prior rowing experience welcome but not essential — what matters most is commitment, humility and a positive attitude.
Join ORCA 3, the fastest ocean rowing trimaran ever built — a vessel designed by Roy Finlay. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity includes intensive training and full support from the world’s leading multihull ocean rowing specialists.
Expedition Seat Information
Since 1997 ORCA has raised approximately £400,000 in corporate sponsorship.
Our experience allows us to assist crew in seeking financial support. Additional ROI potential from post-expedition event income and social media opportunities.
