ABOUT US

 

We set up Stoked to get friends and families safely on the water. If you love the Solent, you will love Stoked.

Stoked Watersports opened in summer 2018 with a clear vision to get people of all ages and abilities out on the water safely. The most rewarding part of Stoked for us is getting to know you - we see Stoked as an investment into the local community and it's something we are committed to long-term. Aside from boats, one of us is a marketer and the other a vet. We are also actively involved in our local church.

WHAT'S WITH THE NAME STOKED?

Stoked literally means excited or euphoric and it's also a very popular South African term. With one of us being South African (Karen) and the other British (Jonathan), we felt that Stoked was a fitting name.

MEET OUR EPIC TEAM

Throughout the season we have a superb team in place to look after everyone. You can check out their biogs below.

We will look forward to hanging out on the water with you soon.

I love being on the water and trying new things! I have a big interest in photography and videography and I'm pursuing a career in the film industry. When I'm not working at Stoked I am helping businesses to get the most out of social media.

Although not officially part of the Stoked team, I do pop my head up from time to time to make sure everyone is respecting my waters. When I am not watching what the humans are doing I am eating fish and dodging ferries.
