Our Story

The Boat Pro's Newsletter was born from a simple observation: the boating community needed a trusted, comprehensive resource that spoke to everyone from dreamers looking at their first boat to seasoned captains with decades on the water.

Founded in 2020 by a group of passionate boaters, marine journalists, and industry veterans, we set out to create more than just another boating publication. We wanted to build a community where knowledge flows freely, experiences are shared openly, and the love of life on the water brings people together.

What started as a modest monthly newsletter to a few hundred subscribers has grown into a thriving community of over 50,000 boating enthusiasts across six continents. Our readers range from weekend sailors to full-time liveaboards, from fishing boat owners to yacht club commodores, and from curious dreamers to experienced captains.

Every month, we deliver carefully curated content that informs, inspires, and empowers our readers to make the most of their time on the water. Whether you're researching your first boat purchase, planning your next cruise, or looking for maintenance advice, The Boat Pro's Newsletter is your trusted companion on the journey.
