Charley Boorman
Transform adventure into business inspiration with Charley Boorman, speaker, global adventurer and travel storyteller. Charley works with organisations to foster resilience and teamwork through his acclaimed motorcycle journeys and UNICEF ambassadorship featured in worldwide bestselling series.
Charley Boorman is a modern adventurer, travel writer, and entertainer. His engaging approach to challenges has attracted a large TV and literary audience. Although he has travelled extensively since childhood, he spent much of his youth in Wicklow, Ireland.
His acting career began early, influenced by his father, the renowned film director John Boorman. Charley appeared in "Deliverance" and continued acting in various projects. He met Ewan McGregor, who became his co-adventurer in the "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down" series.
In 2004, Charley and Ewan embarked on "Long Way Round," a motorcycle journey from London to New York through Europe and Asia. This series gained worldwide acclaim and became a bestseller. During this time, Charley also became a UNICEF ambassador, visiting numerous projects featured in his shows. He participated in the Dakar rally, which led to the "Race to Dakar" series. Although he did not finish due to injuries, he supported his teammate Simon Pavey, and the show was well-received.
In 2007, Charley and Ewan undertook "Long Way Down," travelling from John O’Groats in Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa. Ewan's wife joined part of the journey, adding complexity, but Charley embraced the situation, demonstrating that adventure is accessible to everyone.
In 2008, Charley set off on a solo journey titled "By Any Means," starting in Wicklow and ending in Sydney, Australia. He travelled using various local transport methods, including boats and elephants. The following year, he continued this adventure focusing on motorbikes, riding from Sydney to Tokyo and inviting fellow bikers to join him along the way.
Today, Charley has produced numerous adventure travel shows and was a runner-up in Celebrity MasterChef. Charley's cheeky, energetic nature makes him enjoyable to be around and always ready to engage with fans.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
