Three Brothers in a Boat is the true story of three ordinary people achieving something extraordinary. When brothers Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan rowed non-stop and unsupported across the Pacific in 2025 they made history and raised over a million pounds.
Their recordbreaking row was a 9,753 mile odyssey of endurance, purpose and brotherhood that pushed them to the limits. As they set out in a 28ft boat from the coast of Peru towards Australia, their mission was twofold: to attempt one of the most demanding ocean rows on Earth and to raise awareness for clean water initiatives.
It was an expedition defined by extremes. Towering waves. Sleep deprivation. Equipment failures. Heat, hunger and the psychological strain of isolation. But also moments of profound connection — to the ocean, to their purpose and to each other.
During the crossing, the brothers started a podcast/YouTube show called Dinner with the Macleans, featuring conversations with an array of celebrities, from A-list actors to world renowned musicians and sports people. Guests included Mark Wahlberg, Ewan McGregor and Lorraine Kelly.
Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan first made headlines in 2019 when they became the fastest trio to row across the Atlantic Ocean, covering 3,000 miles in 35 days and breaking the previous speed record by nearly a week. Determined to keep working together for causes they believed in, they founded The Maclean Foundation, with a mission to raise funds for clean water projects. In 2025 they set the Fastest Known Time for rowing the full Pacific Ocean, raising over £1 million for communities in Madagascar.
