Yachting and boating magazines
The international nature of the industry, especially at the luxury end, drives publishers of yachting magazines and boating magazines to seek to spread overheads and sell advertising internationally. The two biggest yachting and boating magazine publishers in the UK are the Boat International Group, which specialises in the high-end of the industry, and IPC Media, which has yachting and boating magazines covering the whole range of the activity. Apart from the Royal Yachting Association title RYA Magazine, the best-selling UK titles shift 30-35,000 copies a month.
