“As absolute beginners to rowing the help we have received in getting boat preparing boat and the actual dash have been second to none we could not have done it without Billy's and Alex's continuous support we thank them dearly.”

“Having no rowing or nautical experience between us we must have tested the Atlantic Dash team to the MAX in every department!

We can honestly say the Dash team helped us every step of the way. It just shows the level of their commitment and enthusiasm because in just eleven months we went from greenhorns to successful Atlantic rowers.

To set off in an ocean rowing boat to attempt to row 3,200 across open water with no support boat you have to have a level of confidence in every department. We now know it takes more than guts and determination to complete this challenge, it’s just as important to have a cuddle and a giggle.

Atlantic Dash ticked all the boxes for us and we are pleased we chose them to experience this life changing event. Thank you!”

“Excellent advice & support from Billy & Alex from the moment we signed up to the dash & right through to the end when we reached Antigua & continued support once we was back home.”

When I decided to row the Atlantic Ocean the next step was the huge list of questions. Is it safe? What about the sharks? What happens if something goes wrong in the middle of the Atlantic?…

All my questions and worries were answered and my mind put at ease after after talking to Billy & Alex from Monkey Fist Adventures who between them have 6 ocean crossings.

50 days at sea as part of the Atlantic Dash was by far the best life experience I’ve ever had. Words can’t describe the freedom of rowing an ocean; waking up to the best scenery, surrounded by Mother Nature, dolphins, turtles, flying fish, rowing through the night with nature’s cinema – the stars, moon and Milky Way – so bright above us. If anything needed fixing Billy was on it, if our friends & relatives wanted updates Barry & Alex kept them up to date.

50 days in the professional hands of Monkey Fist Adventures – what a treat, what a laugh, what a mission, what an adventure! My mind has never been at peace like that for many years…can I go back to sea please?”
