Movies 3 Scottish Brothers Set Record For Pacific Row to Australia-'Dying For SLEEP & PIZZA'

Three Scottish Brothers Set a World Record For Fastest Pacific Row to Australia -139 DAYS

Exhausted Scottish Brothers Back on Shore 'Dying For SLEEP, PIZZA & A BEER'


Australia News 30 AUG 2025







The brothers set off from Lima, Peru for the 14,500 kilometre journey to Australia






Three Scottish brothers L-R Lachlan, Jamie and Ewan MacLean celebrate as they arrive in Cairns, Australia, after a record non-stop row across the Pacific



Three Scottish brothers set a world record Saturday for completing the fastest unsupported row across the full Pacific Ocean.

Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan Maclean completed the journey in 139 days, arriving in Cairns, Australia. They rowed over 9,000 miles non-stop from Peru, becoming the first team to achieve the full crossing from South America to Australia.

The trio from Edinburgh endured storms, seasickness, injuries and violent storms, including one that swept Lachlan overboard, while raising over GB700,000 $945,690 toward a GB1MIL $1,350,450 target for clean water projects.

The three rowed into the Cairns Marlin Marina playing the bagpipes and waving the Scottish, Australian and United Kingdom flags. More than 50 family members, supporters and fans, including their mother Sheila, greeted the brothers.

In the hours before their arrival, the eldest brother, Ewan, uploaded a video calling the marina ahead of their approach.




'Do you have pizza and beer? I repeat, do you have pizza and beer? Over'...


The three Scottish brothers stepped ashore in Australia Saturday after claiming a new record for rowing non stop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean, over the moon to be back on dry land.


Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan MacLean set off in a carbon fibre dinghy from Lima in Peru in April for the 9,000 miles 14,500 kilometres journey, enduring violent storms and sickness during their 139 days at sea.

At one point Ewan was swept overboard before being pulled back into the boat, while they battled exhaustion and feared running out of food.

The fastest human powered crossing of the full Pacific Ocean, non stop and unsupported, they said on social media after arriving in Cairns

After 139 days at sea, we are over the moon to be back on land with our friends and family, they added.

The brothers, from Edinburgh, were given a bagpipe welcome in front of family and friends after the treacherous ordeal, which garnered support from celebrities including Mark Wahlberg and Ewan McGregor

Things got tough towards the end and we seriously thought we might run out of food, said middle brother Jamie.

Despite how exhausted we were, we had to step up a gear and make it before supplies ran out, but now we get to eat proper food


A pizza was on the menu as his first meal.


While the mid Pacific from California to Hawaii is well travelled, relatively few have attempted the full Pacific from South America to Australia.

Earlier this year, Lithuanian solo rower Aurimas Mockus had to abandon his crossing attempt due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

This has been the hardest thing I've ever done, and I couldn't have even contemplated it without my brothers, said Ewan.

There have been countless setbacks to overcome, some leaving us lost, but we've always lifted each other up.

At times we've cried with sadness and with fear, but our spirits have been lifted, time and time again, by the support of so many rallying behind us.




They were raising money for clean water projects in Madagascar.

The brothers broke three world records crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 2020, without ever having rowed professionally, making the journey from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in 35 days.
