Stingray Sportsboats UK was formed in 2010 by Mark Rowley when the trade opportunity arose to start a marine company offering a performance and quality brand of sports boats. Having researched the brands and markets around the world it became clear that Stingray Sports boats was the brand that offered this and were as dedicated to building boats as he was. Mark has over 30 years experience in the marine industry and is passionate about boats. His love of the water and boating began when he was very young, to this day you can still find him on a sunny day on the sea either in his boat waterskiing or jetskiing
Stingray Boats are manufactured in South Carolina, USA and in just a few short years have emerged as one of the leading independent boat builders in the nation.

For the last 30 years, Nick has been supporting Windy Boat owners during his role as UK Service Support Manager for Windy Boats in the UK and Europe.
