The International Yachting Media, an internationally focused digital publisher specialized in boating, expands its offering with a new digital title: BOAT REVIEW, the first digital magazine dedicated to all boating enthusiasts who want to get to know boats in a complete and authentic way, even before stepping on board or owning them.
Following YACHTDIGEST, YACHTINGNEWS, TOUSLESBATEAUX, LOSBARCOS, SUPERYACHTS and YACHT DIGEST – LUXURY EDITION, BOAT REVIEW is the group’s seventh publication, but also one of its most ambitious, as it is entirely focused on what is unquestionably the topic closest to boat owners’ hearts: sea trials.
Sea trials have always been the most read, most discussed and most requested content among boating enthusiasts, whether experienced sailors or newcomers taking their first steps in this fascinating world and therefore in need of clear information to guide them in the purchase of their first boat. The new magazine, like YACHT DIGEST LUXURY EDITION, is also completely free of advertising, offering yet another reason to browse it without distractions.

“I am proud to present the new magazine. Tests are an essential tool for the many boat owners who read us and watch our videos – says Luca D’Ambrosio, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The International Yachting Media – This further investment clearly demonstrates our leadership in digital boating publishing, a segment in which the first of our competitors, if there are any, is light years behind us in terms of development”.
With BOAT REVIEW, The International Yachting Media once again raises the bar, offering all boating enthusiasts a practical, authoritative and in-depth tool.
A new way of telling sea trials has just set sail.

BOAT REVIEW: sea trials, video tests and much more
BOAT REVIEW stems from this very awareness and takes the concept of “testing” to an unprecedented level. The goal is clear: to offer a single, authoritative reference point where readers can read, watch and truly understand every boat in a clear, detailed and immediate way, with the assurance of information verified directly in the field—or, more accurately, “on the water”.
Each test is designed to be as complete, in-depth and practical as possible, without the text-length limitations typical of print magazines. The digital nature of the publication allows for deeper insight, detailed analysis of every aspect of the boat and a transparent, thorough account of the cruising experience. But there is more. Many of the tests published on BOAT REVIEW are available not only in editorial form, but also as videos, offering readers an even more immersive and comprehensive experience. Produced by a team of professional journalists and testers, the video tests are often filmed with multiple cameras to provide different angles and perspectives. Readers are virtually taken on board the boat, with the opportunity to observe details and closely follow every aspect of navigation.

Designed for an international audience, BOAT REVIEW is published in English, but also includes Italian, French and Spanish editions, confirming the global vocation of The International Yachting Media and its ability to speak to different markets with the same effectiveness.
Following the successful model already adopted by Yacht Digest – Luxury Edition, BOAT REVIEW is the group’s second magazine to be completely free and advertising-free. This editorial model has already proven its strength, as demonstrated by the 500,000 reads achieved by each issue of YACHT DIGEST – Luxury Edition, and confirms a clear and consistent choice: putting content and readers at the center, without compromise.

A further step forward for The International Yachting Media
The International Yachting Media thus confirms itself as the world’s most-read digital boating publisher, at the forefront of a continuous growth path that leads it to invest, innovate and anticipate the market through unique projects such as BOAT REVIEW. A concrete example is the focus not only on boats, but also on accessories: the group is in fact the only publisher to carry out accessory tests using a real laboratory boat and a dedicated permanent testing center, inaugurated during the latest edition of the Genoa International Boat Show in the evocative setting of Marina Porto Antico. An innovative space designed to become a European reference point for the testing of technologies, engines and boats. A lively and dynamic environment where shipyards, manufacturers and enthusiasts can meet 365 days a year to test excellence in the boating world.
BOAT REVIEW features six different sections, designed to make site navigation simple and immediate and to allow users to instantly identify the category of interest: Motorboats, Sailing Yachts, Maxi-RIBs and Inflatables, Power Catamarans, Sailing Catamarans, Boat Supply. Once a category is selected, users have access to a rich list of sea trials, organized clearly and coherently, useful for comparing models within the same category and for making informed choices when selecting the boat or accessory best suited to their needs.
