Meet Mike Horn – Leaving a Mark at The Honours 2024

At The Honours 2024, held on the eve of the Monaco Yacht Show, Mike Horn was honored with the prestigious Bowsprit Award, recognizing his impactful contributions to environmental awareness and education.

A passionate explorer, Mike has dedicated his life to addressing the world’s pressing environmental challenges. His mantra, “Explore, learn, act,” encapsulates his mission with the Pangaea project, which aims to inspire the next generation. Mike’s journey began with a solo sail across the Atlantic, marking the start of his commitment to explore and protect the planet.

His four-year expedition with young adventurers from around the globe was a pivotal initiative. By immersing them in diverse ecosystems—from Antarctica to Africa—he empowered them to become environmental ambassadors, launching projects that continue to thrive today.

Currently, Mike is spearheading Pangaea X, focusing on nurturing young innovators and equipping them with the skills to safeguard the planet’s remaining natural wonders. His enthusiasm is matched by the eagerness of the new generation, ready to drive meaningful change.

Mike’s latest venture, What’s Left, documents the most remote areas on Earth, emphasizing the urgency of environmental preservation. As he reflects on his journey, he sees Pangaea not just as a vessel but as a home—a symbol of his unwavering commitment to exploration and conservation.

The Superyacht Life Foundation and the Monaco Yacht Show aim to celebrate leaders like Mike, whose efforts inspire transformation within the superyacht industry and beyond.
