Spending Double the number of Western Millionaires of any other boating publication Many of the readers of some of the top national marine publications love boating. In fact, they read about it all the time. Too bad they don't have the financial means to buy a new boat or any of the new electronics, accessories or equipment that goes with it. That's why Sea Magazine's impressive number of Western millionaires should be a factor in your media buying plans..

Sea vs. others No. 1 in the West for over 106 years THE WEST 91.7% of Sea circulation Only 12.9% of National Boating Magazines circulation reaches the West Sea s Influence 87.4% took action on a product in Sea 66.2% contacted an advertiser after reading Sea 49.4% visited a boat show to see a product 40.7% purchased a product or service seen in Sea 2.3 readers per copy I have probably been in every issue of Sea Magazine for the last 15 years and will continue doing so. For larger brokerage yachts it is the best West Coast magazine for print marketing. When our new boat lines ask where to advertise I always mentioned Sea first. Whether a West Coast boater is reading the printed magazine or the digital edition of Sea our ads are reaching the qualified boater. Brett Aggen Emerald Pacific Yachts Seattle & San Diego
