Jasmine Harrison

Jasmine Harrison is a British adventurer who loves to travel and tackle new challenges. She achieved world-wide recognition in 2021 when aged 21 years she became the youngest solo female to row the Atlantic Ocean in 70 days proving that age, gender and background are no barrier to a positive mind-set. She is keen to encourage everyone to be self-reliant and if someone wants to take on a personal challenge, of any level, then they should just do it!

The Atlantic row, dubbed the ‘World’s Toughest Row’ saw Jasmine row up to 20 hours a day in conditions from flat calm to 10 metre high waves with lows of capsizes, injuries and physical exhaustion to the highs of amazing wildlife and sunsets travelling over 3000 miles from La Gomera, Canary Islands to Antigua.

In 2022 Jasmine became the first female (and third person ever) to swim the full length of the British Isles from Land’s End to John O’Groats, 900 miles, in 110 days.

She's now added another first with a solo sail around the world in a 5.8m yacht in the Mini Globe Race that started in February 2025 and took 381 days to travel 26,000 nautical miles to and from Falmouth Harbour in Antigua.

The 26-year-old, from Thirsk, sailed across four oceans as part of the Mini Globe Race and stopped in 15 different countries, including Panama, Tahiti, South Africa and Brazil.

After completing her epic adventure - the first time a British woman has sailed solo around the world in a vessel of that size - she said: "I'm relieved to have finished, but also sad that's it's over. It's been an incredible journey."

Having raised over £30k for environmental causes, including Shelter Box, she remains a keen advocate for ocean health sharing her stories through talks whilst still taking on micro adventures. She was awarded Rotary Young Citizen in 2023.
