Regattas and cruising routes: the Youtube channel’s docufilms
Another fascinating section of our Youtube channel is dedicated to docufilms showcasing cruising itineraries and the editorial team’s participation in offshore sailing competitions. Clear examples include “1,000 Miles in the Tyrrhenian”, which documents two months of sailing in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and “History of Sailing”, which offers exclusive and evocative footage of the Giraglia Rolex Cup, the queen of Mediterranean regattas.
Boat accessory tests
The International Yachting Media’s Youtube channel also offers a selection of videos dedicated to testing boating accessories—an activity the publisher takes very seriously, with tests often lasting months or even years.
The journalists test each accessory rigorously, highlighting strengths and weaknesses to help users choose the best equipment for their needs. This type of content is especially valuable for owners who want to avoid unpleasant surprises aboard their boats.
The secret behind the success of The International Yachting Media’s YouTube channel
Exclusive use of professional journalists
In a world increasingly dominated by bloggers, the guarantees offered by a channel run exclusively by trained journalists are evident and truly make the difference. Respect for journalistic ethics and the extensive experience of those who appear on screen are among the channel’s most distinctive features. Our journalists not only produce high-quality content but also deliver informed insights and commentary that enrich the viewer’s experience. Their professionalism builds a relationship of trust with the audience—essential for attracting new visitors and keeping existing ones engaged. This is why the channel has gained almost 200,000 subscribers in just one year, and this number continues to grow steadily.
Participation in major boat shows worldwide
Taking part in international boat shows is another key strategy for The International Yachting Media. Being physically present at leading global events allows the channel to have a comprehensive view of the market, ensuring that it does not focus only on the most famous shipyards but offers subscribers the chance to discover every possible alternative. During these events, new models are unveiled, boats from all over the world are tested, and live footage is captured and later shared on the channel.
International reach and multilingual system
The content of our Youtube channel is always embedded in dedicated articles published across The International Yachting Media’s six magazines: YACHT DIGEST, YACHTING NEWS, SUPERYACHTS, LOS BARCOS, YD LUXURY EDITION and TOUSLESBATEAUX. These magazines are available in 19 language editions.
This system, unique in its kind, allows the videos to receive powerful global exposure, as readers from all over the world can watch them with subtitles available in 11 languages—ensuring each viewer can enjoy the content in their native tongue.
