Benjamin Ferré completes the Vendée Globe: a remarkable achievement!

After 84 days, 23 hours, 19 minutes and 39 seconds at sea, Benjamin Ferré crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe, his very first solo, non-stop, unassisted round-the-world race. Onboard his straight-keeled boat, he finished 16th overall and 1st in his category. A truly outstanding performance that reflects his talent, determination, and unwavering commitment.

An emotional return

Benjamin’s return to Les Sables d’Olonne was as epic as his achievement at sea. During the legendary channel entry, an enthusiastic crowd gathered to welcome and celebrate his journey. Surrounded by supporters, friends, and family, Benjamin experienced an unforgettable and emotional moment.

Benjamin Ferré : “I had discovered tears of joy, tears of sadness. This time, I discovered tears of gratitude. I’m so thankful to every single person who helped me get this far.”
