Broad incumbents

• Boat International Media: Large, established superyacht-focused media brand with magazines, website, events, and awards. Overlaps MIN's superyacht coverage and B2B trade readership but operates at much larger scale with broader consumer and luxury positioning.

Emerging players

• Yachting World: Long-running marine publication covering sailing and leisure boating with editorial and digital advertising. Adjacent in marine content and ad-supported model, though more consumer-leaning than MIN's B2B trade focus.
• PassageMaker Magazine: Specialist marine publication focused on cruising/trawler segments with editorial coverage and print advertising. Partially comparable due to print-led B2B/C2B trade model in a marine sub-segment.
