Built From Passion

Connecticut Watersports was born in 2019 out of Ian's college apartment at Arizona State University — a bold vision fueled by a deep love for the water and an unwavering drive to share it with others.

What began as a summer venture quickly evolved into a full-time operation. Ian recognized that families across Connecticut, New York, and beyond deserved a truly all-inclusive watersports experience — one that captures the essence of lake life from the very first moment on the water.

Today, CT Water Sports has grown into a premier lakeside destination, with a hand-selected team of passionate watersports enthusiasts dedicated to delivering fun, safe, and unforgettable days on the water for every family that joins us.
