New Documentary: All in the Same Boat

Ahead of its 11th annual voyage in November 2026, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley’s ‘Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise’ shares its story through a new film, All in the Same Boat, a documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Reshma B and produced by Boomshots TV that traces Marley and his manager Dan Dalton’s brainchild from a bold, outsider idea into one of the most culturally significant movements in reggae and dancehall today.

With over a decade’s worth of unforgettable moments pulled from the last 10 voyages, this 30+ minute documentary captures the spirit of a global reggae community built on shared identity, resilience, and reverence for Jamaican culture. It features iconic performances, real conversations with the artists and DJs, and the heartbeat of it all: the “Jamrockers.” These are die-hard reggae lovers from over 40 countries who pull up every year for one reason—to feel that irreplaceable connection to Jamaican culture and keep the Marley message of “One Love” alive.

The Jamrock experience has evolved into the premier reggae event at sea—one that continues to redefine how the culture is celebrated on a global stage. The five-day experience continues to immerse guests in the full spectrum of Jamaican life—from Nyabinghi sunrise sessions and sound bath meditations to dancehall workshops, fitness programming, and curated culinary offerings led by acclaimed Chef Lumley.

As All in the Same Boat makes clear, ‘Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise’ is a movement with its own rhythm, one that continues to bring the diaspora home while inviting the world in. Since its inception in 2014, the mission remains the same: to create a space where reggae lives, breathes, and connects us all.

The documentary made its debut during the 10th annual cruise and later screened at Art Basel in support of hurricane relief efforts led by the Marley family’s Ghetto Youths Foundation. Damian Marley and Dan Dalton were executive producers of the film.
