Separate but complementary
A company profile is not an advertising campaign.
Business Membership supports ongoing visibility for a reviewed company profile. Advertising and sponsored features have separate, explicitly agreed deliverables; buying either does not imply editorial coverage or a preferential ranking.

03 · How we work
A clear scope before a campaign begins.
We assess a relevant commercial brief before any placement. The scope, materials and review process are agreed, not presumed from a general enquiry.
- 01
Tell us your objective
Identify your company, the market, what you want to promote and the relevant audience.
- 02
Agree the format
Confirm inventory, placement, creative, timing, prices, deliverables and commercial terms.
- 03
Review the material
Verify supplied claims, rights to photographs and clear promotional labelling before publication.
- 04
Deliver and review
Publish the agreed activity and discuss verified performance or enquiry measures when available.
Editorial independence
Paid placements and sponsored features are identified. Commercial agreements do not decide our independent news selection, reporting or editorial judgement.
Measured, not invented
Any audience, traffic, campaign or enquiry figures shared with potential partners must come from verified records. No reach or commercial outcome is guaranteed without supporting evidence.
04 · Detailed media information
Media kit overview
Leisure Boat Guide covers boats under 12 metres with original news, production boat information, marine companies, practical guidance and destinations. Commercial activity is assessed for its relevance to boat owners, potential buyers and the wider leisure marine industry.
Advertising formats
Discuss display advertising, clearly labelled sponsored features, appropriate sector or destination promotion and time-limited campaigns. The separate Advertising page explains the possible formats, with actual inventory, quotation and deliverables agreed individually.
Business Membership
Company membership supports a reviewed directory profile using the existing plans on Business Solutions. It is separate from advertising and does not promise independent editorial coverage or preferential ranking.
Editorial and commercial standards
Commercial material is identified and reviewed for factual accuracy, subject relevance and rights to imagery. We share traffic and enquiry figures only when verified, without invented reach, guaranteed results or implied endorsements.
From one publisher
Three specialist publications. Distinct marine audiences.
For businesses active in more than one vessel size category, we can discuss separate placements on the relevant Guide publications. Each maintains its own editorial remit, readership and commercial terms.
