In an era when print publications are fighting their way to survival in an on line environment there is one superyacht media specialist that is bucking the trend and moving in the opposite direction.
For years ever since its inception in 2007 The Superyacht Times has been an on line information source and has never appeared in a printed format.
Now the publisher has put on sale their inaugural summer/autumn edition of The SuperYacht Times Newspaper. Its stated aim is to present the most interesting and relevant news and articles from the superyacht industry in a clear concise format that is a pleasure to read.

It provides valuable details of 2013’s top superyacht builders, superyacht completions and superyacht orders , as well as a close look into the value of the market per country.
