MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO


We’ve come the end of our 2020 season, and it’s time to hibernate for the winter! TK Watersports have been very happy to serve our customers during 2020, which has been a very different year for all of us.

However due to people having home vacations this year, and not travelling abroad, it’s been a record breaking season. I must thank loyal customers and staff, who have helped keep TK Watersports going during these hard times. Yes 2020 has been our busiest year ever!

Our season has ended for 2020, but we will be back the first Saturday in April 2021.
