⛵️ Cole Brauer Ocean Racing will personally guide you and up to four friends around her IMOCA 60, Malizia, and hang over drinks.

In 2023, Cole became the youngest and only female participant in the Global Solo Challenge, racing her Class 40 First Light. After 130 days at sea--which she documented on Instagram and gained over 500,000 followers--she finished second in March 2024, breaking the Class 40 round-the-world speed record and becoming the first American woman to race solo around the globe. This private encounter takes place on August 30 at 2pm.
