Sarah Outen is one of the most popular and richest Ocean Rower who was born on May 26, 1985 in United Kingdom. Sarah Dilys Outen MBE FRGS (born 26 May 1985) is a British athlete and adventurer. In addition, she is a motivational and inspirational speaker across the UK and around the world. Outen became the only woman and youngest person to solo row over the Indian Ocean and also the Pacific Ocean from Japan to Alaska. She completed her round-the-world trip on her own through a rowing boat kayak and bicycle on the 3rd of November, 2015.

After a failed attempt of 11 days known as her “Warm-Up Lap”, Outen set out again from Fremantle, Western Australia, on the 1st of April, 2009 in her 19-foot vessel called Serendipity. She raced for the duration of 124 days, 14 hrs and 9 minutes, before reaching Bois des Amourettes, on the island of Mauritius 3 August 2009. It was her first attempt at the crossing on her own and the only person to make the crossing on their own. Also, she was the smallest person, and the first female to row solo through the Indian Ocean.

On 1 April 2011, Outen set off on an expedition called “London2London: Via the World”. This mostly solo loop of the planet included the first attempt by a woman to row across the north Pacific Ocean. She rowed, cycled and kayaked her way eastward from London around the world, sharing stories about the adventure and experience. The 20,000 miles (32,000 km) journey was scheduled to take 2.5 years to complete. During her expedition, she cycled across Europe and Asia, rowed across the north Pacific, and cycled across parts of the United States and Canada to Cape Cod, before rowing across the North Atlantic to the UK.

On 23 September 2013, after 150 days and 3,750 miles at sea, Outen became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska as well as the first woman to complete a mid-Pacific row from West to East. She arrived at Adak Island in the Aleutian Islands, rowing to within half a mile of a rocky coastline before being towed through the channel between Adak and Kagalaska Island. She was originally bound for Canada, but punishing currents and inclement weather forced her to change destinations for Alaska.

She was made to be a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society following her success in her Indian Ocean crossing in 2009. Outen was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to rowing, conservation and charity.
