MEGAYACHT NEWS: REAL STORIES OF REAL INTEREST
Megayacht News is the leader among independent Web sites devoted to luxury yachts, with a particularly emphasis on information of interest to American owners, buyers, and their representatives. Its innovative, multi-faceted approach includes daily original news articles, newsletters, videos, slideshows, and podcasts. Its emphasis on originality is among the reasons why it enjoys monthly traffic of 20,000 page views.* Topics include new launches, design proposals, luxury yachting events, marina developments, and interviews with owners. Megayacht News was named to The Helium Report's (now Halogen Guides') best yacht blogs list, and it's the go-to source for Reuters, CNBC, Forbes.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times, CNN.com, and others.
Further underscoring the strength of the editorial focus and the readership reach, an average of one story per week is syndicated by Superyacht Business magazine in its e-newsletter. The full daily Megayacht News feed is also syndicated by YachtWorld.com and Boats.com. Megayacht News is the only site to enjoy all of these relationships.
