Reach a Growing and Engaged Waterways Audience

Our audience is made up primarily of boaters, marinas, boatyards, waterway enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in Britain's inland waterways.

The UK boating community continues to grow, with an estimated 35,000+ people now living on boats—a figure that rises year after year. This number doesn't include the many owners of leisure craft moored in marinas, stored off-water, or used recreationally across the country.

Beyond boat ownership, Britain's waterways attract significant tourism. Every year, around 450,000 people enjoy holidays on the UK's canal and river networks. Many of these visitors go on to become lifelong boating enthusiasts, regular holidaymakers, and even boat owners themselves. Our Canal & River Guides are particularly popular with this audience.

Interest in the waterways has never been stronger. A steady stream of television programmes, documentaries, and media coverage continues to introduce new audiences to the boating lifestyle, canal heritage, and the unique experiences our waterways offer.

If you're looking to reach this expanding market and connect with potential customers who are actively interested in boating, waterways, and waterside living, you're in the right place.

Our readers—whether long-standing subscribers or first-time visitors—are always searching for products, services, destinations, and ideas that can enhance their boating experience and improve life on and around the water.

These are the people looking for businesses like yours right now.

And that's not all.

Our reach extends beyond boaters and waterway users. We also attract a wider audience with an interest in travel, heritage, leisure, outdoor lifestyles, and the natural beauty of Britain's canals and rivers—giving your business exposure to an even broader customer base.
