Sailing for Change: Chris Bertish’s Ocean Conservation Journey

GUEST: Chris Bertish- South African adventurer, author, speaker, ocean pioneer and ocean advocate

 South African adventurer and ocean advocate Chris Bertish is set to embark on the TransCat Expedition 2025: Oceans Without Borders, a world-first solo, unsupported crossing of the Pacific Ocean on a production beach catamaran. Covering 2,800 nautical miles from California to Hawaii, the daring journey powered solely by wind and solar aims to raise awareness for ocean conservation and education. Enduring extreme solitude and harsh conditions aboard a minimalist vessel, Bertish’s mission is to inspire global action. The expedition supports multiple environmental and educational initiatives, continuing his legacy of combining record-breaking feats with meaningful impact for the planet.
