Sponsorship opportunities

A project the scale of the Around the World Challenge has a vast amount to offer for all sorts of sponsors and partners. As a worldwide project combining the latest in navigation and satellite technology with the power of the internet, the potential is simply staggering.

        The team is well established and is already accumulating media coverage across the UK and further afield. The recent record breaking trans Atlantic voyage generated even more high-quality coverage, and once again demonstrated the capabilities of our team.
