The story from out there, told by the man who was there
Martin has sailed alone through the worst of the Southern Ocean and made it home again. A talk that gives you goosebumps and something to think about, and that is as much about people as it is about the sea. Tailored to companies, gatherings, clubs and events.
Around the world, alone and non-stop
AdventureThe story of the non-stop circumnavigation: the preparations, the three great capes, the storms of the Southern Ocean, the capsize, and what it is like to be completely alone on the toughest ocean there is. The talk starts three years before departure and takes you on board Odin to experience everyday life at sea. With photos and video from on board.

Hold your course: the talk that gives new energy
MotivationAfter three years of preparation and 300 days in total solitude, Martin knows what extreme motivation demands. This talk is not about sailing, but about finding unexpected strength in your own everyday life. Ideal for companies that want to strengthen drive, handle adversity and learn the art of not giving up when things get hard.

Sailing for a cause: when a dream creates value for others
PurposeMartin sailed to The Gambia in winter to help a small, isolated village, a voyage that nearly ended in disaster when the mast broke in a violent winter storm in the Atlantic. Once there, he sparked great commitment, brought the whole village together and even drew back people who had moved away, all through a shared effort. An inspiring story about building culture, uniting people, creating team spirit and achieving great things with very little.

- Charity
Real, not polished
