Marina World, published by Loud & Clear Publishing Limited, has announced its acquisition by SuperYacht Times.

Established in September 2000 by Carol Fulford and Julia Hallam, Marina World has built a strong reputation over the past two decades as a trusted global source for marina professionals, developers, and industry stakeholders. Marina World is published six times per year in print, alongside the annual Marina World Suppliers & Services directory and the bi-monthly Mooring Post newsletter, which reaches over 7,000 industry professionals.

SuperYacht Times, based in the Netherlands, is a leading media platform in the superyacht industry. The company brings digital expertise and a wide industry readership to the table. With its strong presence in superyacht news, intelligence and marketing, the company aims to modernise and expand the reach of Marina World while preserving the publication’s editorial trusted voice and deep sector focus.

Speaking about the acquisition, SuperYacht Times Founder & Director, Merijn de Waard, said, "Over the past few years, SuperYacht Times has grown significantly, and we are always looking for new opportunities. As the marina market experiences strong growth, we see a fantastic opportunity to develop the publication further – particularly in the digital space. Our goal is to bring Marina World further into the modern media landscape, strengthening its online presence while continuing to serve its dedicated print readership with high-quality content.”

Carol Fulford and Julia Hallam expressed, “We have had an immensely rewarding 25-year journey developing Marina World into a much-valued industry publication and are both delighted to pass ownership across to Merijn. We strongly believe he will build on the magazine’s success, and we look forward to working alongside him."

Plans are underway as the teams are in close collaboration to ensure a smooth transition. Marina World's newsletter will be published with further developments.

The acquisition brings together two highly respected publications to strengthen the collective voice of the marina and yachting industries. Under the new ownership of SuperYacht Times, Marina World remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering trusted, independent journalism that continues to support and inform the evolving marina sector worldwide.
