A Voyage To Explore The Philippines, One Smile At A Time...

ONE PERSON ONE BOAT 7,641 ISLANDS

A 90-Day Voyage To Unite the Seas Of The Philippines, One Wave At A Time.

The Route:

What started as a simple idea, has turned into one of the most ambitious sailing projects ever attempted in the Philippines:

A solo Hobie 16 catamaran voyage running the length of the Philippine archipelago—from Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte to General Santos, Mindanao.

Encompassing over 3,700 kilometers, the voyage will sail along the wild west coast of Luzon, through the mystical lagoons of Palawan, navigate the vibrant shores of Visayas, and explore the remote edge of southern Mindanao.

Every leg of the voyage sailed, not motored, in harmony with Mother Nature.

Each landfall telling a story.

Each wave moves us closer—not just to the next island, but to something deeper.

Why This Matter?

Philippine Hobie Sailing Adventure is more then a challenge—it is a tribute. A tribute to the resilience of the Filipino spirit, to the beauty of its 7,641 islands, and the people that call them home. It is a Mabuhay to the seafaring soul that lives in every community along its coasts. This project is a celebration of the Philippines from the bustling shores, to the solitude of the many seas that connect the archipelago.

It is an invitation—for people to discover and others to reconnect with the beauty of the Philippines.

Meet, Adrian...

Adrian is an Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, global traveler (140+ countries, 6 continents), an avid sailor since he was a child learning on a Hobie 16, and an all around curious adventurer.

Adrian started his adventures exploring the Philippines, during the pandemic lockdown on Boracay.

Between kiteboarding seasons, Adrian began SUP paddling. First along White Beach, but soon around the entire Boracay island, and then paddling over to neighboring islands of Panay, Carabao, and beyond to Tablas island. These solo paddles would take up to 8 hours traveling over 40km.

When the pandemic restrictions were lifted, Adrian bought a used Honda Click 125 and continued exploring the beautiful Philippines on two wheels.

After 3 months and more then 30,000km traveling solo around the Philippines on a scooter,

Adrian is now embarking on perhaps the most challenging and could be said most appropriate adventure exploring the Philippines,

solo sailing the length of the Philippine archipelago on a Hobie 16 catamaran.

Any challenge, especially one this ambitious, is never a solo endeavor.

Adrian is excited to collaborate with the great team of people, companies and organizations that have come together to make this record setting adventure a reality.

Support the Mission

No voyage is ever truly solo.

The Philippine Hobie Adventure is now welcoming partners to help bring this once-in-a-lifetime journey to life—from logistics and support, to storytelling, distribution, and amplification.

If you believe in storytelling through movement…

In preserving maritime culture…

And in spotlighting the Mabuhay spirit of the Filipino people.

Let’s sail together.

You don’t need an engine to go far.

A sail. A story. And the courage to follow your star.”
