Boris Herrmann

Skipper

“80 days of loneliness. No one could give me advice about how to manage that because hardly anyone has ever experienced it. ”

Boris Herrmann took part in the Mini-Transat at the age of 18. The solo transatlantic race was his "gateway drug" into the world of sailing. He studied economics in Bremen and sailed successfully for various teams. He is currently the skipper of Team Malizia, which he founded in 2016 with Pierre Casiraghi. In 2019, he was able to provide climate-neutral transportation for Greta Thunberg to cross the Atlantic and attend the UN Climate Summit in New York.

The documentary "Storm Ride" is part of the International OCEAN FILM TOUR Volume 8. We talked to him about the race and the challenges: go to interview.
