Stefan Ivanov

In 2021, Stefan and Maxim Ivanov presented their incredible achievement at Bansko Film Festival - crossing the Atlantic Ocean during hurricane season on the rowboat “NEVEREST”.During this adventure Maxim became the youngest person to cross an ocean by rowing. In their book "NEVEREST" you can read how they built their boat themselves in a garage in Sofia and how they successfully overcame numerous challenges and rough seas.

In 2024 Stefan Ivanov will be a special guest at Bansko Film Fest, where he will tell us about his new adventures and show us unique footage from:

Crossing the Arctic Ocean in 2023 in a six-seater rowing boat, together with an international team from Iceland, USA, UK and Austria, from King George Island to Lauri Island. This daring venture earned him 8 Guinness World Records.

Crossing the Arctic Ocean in the two-seater boat NEVEREST, in a relay row with Vladimir Tabutov from Bulgaria (first 7 days), Cameron Bellamy from South Africa (next 6 days) and again with Maxim Ivanov (last 20 days). The sailing starts from Haugesund, Norway, and ends in Svalbard.
