Waterline Magazine is the Bay of Plenty’s own boating, fishing, sailing, diving and watersports publication. Now in its fifteenth year, Waterline is distributed directly to your target market. Reaching more than 7,500 readers - boat owners, club members and active boating enthusiasts.

Waterline Magazine circulates to 28 clubs and boating organisations, and is the official news magazine of five major boating clubs.  It is distributed throughout the Bay, Coromandel Peninsula, and Whangamata, through to Bowentown and Waihi Beach, the Tauranga Harbour and Mount Maunganui; to Whakatane and the Eastern BOP to the Cape, plus inland to the busy Rotorua and Taupo lakes boating regions.

In addition to the extensive club circulation, Waterline is collected by thousands of non-members from key Marine Retailers and related outlets, plus we post out each month to a wide variety of industry, subscribers and other interested people.  Every issue includes a wide range of features such as power boating, skiing, fishing, yachting, diving and sea, river and lake recreational news.
