Join the Ultimate Challenge: The Full Circle Expedition
With our first team member on board, we now seek five more committed rowers 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 Bullet, 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.
