Chris Bertish’s TransCat Expedition 2025

In 2025, Chris Bertish will be completing another World first by Sailing an open 20ft BeachCat, solo, non stop, fully exposed to the elements for weeks, with no fixed cabin, from California to Hawaii which is 2600 NM.

Chris Bertish is an ocean pioneer, best-selling author, filmmaker, keynote speaker, big wave surfer, Guinness World Record-breaking adventurer, environmental advocate, and philanthropist. He’s a Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Champion and the first and only person to stand-up paddle across the Atlantic—unsupported and solo—covering 7,560 km in 93 days. He also became the first person to wing foil across the Pacific, traveling solo and unsupported from California to Hawaii, covering 4,048 km in 49 days. All Chris’s adventures are used to raise money for ocean conservation, education, people, and the planet. Chris has written multiple best-selling books, including Stoked! and All In! Co-directed two award-winning films about his journey, Ocean Driven – The Chris Bertish Story and Last Known Coordinates.

When exploring the next world-first expedition, what does this adventure athlete decide to do next? Raise the bar even further, and even change sports, to become the first person to sail an open beach cat, with no fixed cabin, solo and completely unsupported across the wild Pacific Ocean! All Chris’s expeditions support education, conservation, and sustainability, while completing another world-first adventure, pushing the limits of what most of us believe is possible!

I am excited to invite you to explore a partnership with us for Chris Berish’s next World First Expedition, the TransCat Expedition 2025.

What an incredible opportunity to have a world-recognized adventure athlete take his followers and the rest of the world on this incredible world-first and world-record-setting ocean adventure, live, and completely exposed to the elements for over two weeks straight!  Imagine the potential!  Capturing and sharing every moment with the world.

KEY EXPEDITION FOCUS:

World First Expedition, to sail an open beach cat solo and unsupported from California to Hawaii.

Education, Ocean Conservation & Sustainability at its core.

This entire Expedition is exclusively driven by Wind and Solar, representing complete sustainability.  Powered by nature, for nature!

THE MISSION:

Sailing an open Beach Cat, 2,850 nautical miles, solo and unsupported across the Pacific from Dana Point and finishing in Oahu, Hawaii, at the end of June through early July 2025. A solo journey on an open beach cat, never done before!

TRACKING & SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT:

Chris will be tracked live, via a GPS Tracker & Starlink Sat Communications, allowing him to be tracked and do live ocean video updates daily.

This allows the Expedition to be highly engaging and interactive for the public and audience to follow, and feel part of, from start to finish.

THE REACH, ENGAGEMENT & KPI’s:

Chris’s Expeditions offer significant reach, with exposure to hundreds of thousands of views and enormous media (dollar) value reach, across Social, Print, digital, and all native News Media outlets, with successive months’ exposure.

WHY:

All of Chris’s Expeditions are inspiring and uplifting and are rooted in giving back to Education, Conservation, and Sustainability. This expedition leverages the positive media exposure from the Expedition & sponsorship to give back by:

  • Building a circular economy classroom for a school in Kenya. July -November 2025
  • Paying for Ocean Education initiatives through SAAMBRA & the 2 Oceans Education Foundation in South Africa – June / July 2025
  • Paying for Mobile Ocean Aquarium & Educational Sessions for the Nine Miles Project, Waves for Change & the Sentinel Alliance, in  June / July 2025
  • Planting more than 1000 trees in North America (July 2025 )through the Sea Trees initiative and 3000 Trees in Africa, through the Word Forest initiative. – July -November 2025
  • Paying towards the Coral Restoration Project in Hanauma Bay in Hawaii, also through the Sea Trees initiative – July 2025

Please note that most of the fundraising often happens in the start leading up to the journey (late June to mid-July), however, the fundraising will continue after Chris has concluded the expedition with 2 fund raising events, one in USA and one in the UK,  these will happen between August and October.
