📈 Boatbuilding News is growing — and increasingly, people are finding us without social media.
I’ve just received our latest website report, and there are some numbers I’m particularly pleased with.
Following an insanely strong July, traffic grew by another 20.3% in August.
And in the latest 28-day data:
🌍 61.5% of visitors came from outside the UK
🇺🇸 The USA is now our second-largest individual market
🔎 Organic Search accounts for 36.1% of website traffic
📈 Visitors arriving through Google Search increased 16.8%
👀 Our content appeared in Google Search 9,100 times
📱 Direct, search and social are now all contributing to audience growth
But perhaps the most interesting part is what people are reading.
Some of our strongest-performing stories aren’t simply new yacht launches.
They’re about shipbuilding, propulsion technology, acquisitions, marine businesses, major manufacturers and the people shaping the industry.
Stories covering Sunseeker International Ltd, Kongsberg Maritime, Princess Yachts, Disney Cruise Line and the wider superyacht sector have all been among our most-read content.
That’s exactly what I want Boatbuilding News to become: a publication connecting the different parts of the global marine industry — from boatbuilding and superyachts to commercial marine, technology, propulsion, refit and the businesses behind them.
And we’re still very early in the journey.
For marine brands looking ahead to Q4 2026 and 2027, I’m now opening conversations around partnerships across Boatbuilding News — including editorial content, video, podcasting, newsletters, event coverage and longer-term campaigns.
If your customers are boatbuilders, shipyards, yacht professionals, naval architects, engineers, installers, marine businesses or equipment buyers, I’d love to talk.
