"We are extremely excited to be back for Boat Life 2024 exhibiting and operating the GJW Activity Pool" commented Jack Clark, Head of Sales and Marketing at Rockley. "After last year's successful launch of the activity pool, we cannot wait to help get more people on the water at the show in 2024. The activities are free and our team will be more than happy to help children, families and individuals alike to experience something new or provide some tips if they've paddled before. Bring on Boat Life 2024!"

This year, Rockley Watersports promises to elevate the event to new heights. Visitors can expect an array of fun activities, including kayak and paddleboard demonstrations by industry professionals alongside displays by renowned exhibiting brands.
