CRUISING LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

ON THE PLANET

TOP SELLING PUBLICATION ON MARINE NEWSSTANDS!

who we are Latitudes & Attitudes® is the #1-selling cruising lifestyle print magazine on the planet, committed to reaching cruising boaters wherever they are – on newsstands, in mailboxes, online, and on the water! With over 50K readers of our print version and over 30K more getting their boating fix on our digital platforms, it’s no wonder we’re so popular.

We feel that popularity is well earned. When lifelong sailor Bob Bitchin created the magazine in 1997, he designed it to be an engaging and fun creative outlet for boaters looking to break free from the drudgery of daily life, find adventure, and celebrate the community and its accomplishments.

It’s a tradition that Latitudes & Attitudes® is proud to continue into its 25th year and beyond.

Our magazine strives to make the dreams of all boaters tangible – from the adrenaline junkie to the relaxed sightseer and everyone in between, Latitudes & Attitudes® reaches a dedicated group of enthusiasts who constantly seek to learn more, experience more, and be more.

Advertising with us is advertising a lifestyle.
