Hear about the Pacific Row from the brothers, direct and in-person
the story behind it all
go behind the row
We've rowed two oceans, broken world records, and raised over £1 million for clean water. But the real stories? They happened between the waves. The 3am hallucinations. The storms that tested everything. The moments of complete silence in the middle of the Pacific.
In our talks, we share what it actually takes to row 12,000 miles across two oceans: the preparation, the psychology, the teamwork, and the lessons that translate far beyond a boat. Whether it's resilience, leadership, or simply what happens when three brothers are stuck together for 139 days, we bring the adventure to life.

Hear The Untold
9,000 miles. 139 days. Zero support. Rowing the Pacific broke records, but it also gave us stories we never expected to tell. From Lachlan being swept overboard in a midnight storm to the strange joy of catching fish in the middle of nowhere, our journey was as much about what happened inside our heads as what happened to the boat.
Our talks bring audiences into that experience. We explore how ordinary people prepare for extraordinary challenges, how teams function under pressure, and why doing hard things is often the best way to do good. It's adventure with purpose, told by the people who lived it.
We're available for corporate events, schools, conferences, and private functions across the UK and beyond.
We've spoken across industries and continue to make an impact on the groups we meet.
“They deliver one of the most impactful and inspiring talks I have witnessed in my academic career. Their story transcends sport or adventure – it is fundamentally about what humans can achieve when purpose, planning, and partnership align. The brothers have a gift for making the seemingly impossible feel achievable, not through bravado, but through fun, positivity, and honest reflection on preparation, teamwork, and persistence. I give them my highest recommendation.”

“It has been a privilege to work closely with the brothers as they’ve shared their story at various client and internal events we’ve hosted. Their humility, resilience, ambition, and selfless values continue to inspire everyone who hears them speak. I could not recommend them more highly to anyone looking for speakers who will truly move, motivate, and delight an audience.”

"The Maclean Brothers were the perfect complement to our academic meeting. Their utterly remarkable tale of adventure and survival was told with wit, raw detail and cameraderie. The planning involved for this record breaking row unsupported across the entire Pacific Ocean is a fascinating story in itself. The brothers called upon a multitude of anecdotes to illustrate their teamwork, psychological and physiological adaptation, and dealing with adversity on this epic voyage. They are highly entertaining: highly recommended!"

"The Maclean Brothers – Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan – were a fantastic opening act for the 2026 SES Explorer Series, setting the tone from the moment they entered the room with Jamie playing his bagpipes! Their talk was unforgettable – candid, truly inspiring, and deeply impactful. As real pioneers with purpose, they shared powerful stories of resilience, teamwork, and pushing beyond limits that truly resonated with our audience and sparked meaningful conversations long after the session ended."
