Published monthly since 1989, FISHING BOAT WORLD is aimed at supplying the world's commercial fishermen with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the boats, products, personalities and politics that affect their industry.

                During its more than 13 years of publication FISHING BOAT WORLD has witnessed incredible changes within the commercial fishing industry and has been closely involved in not only reporting these changes but has also become the voice of commercial fishermen allowing their opinions to be heard in the most appropriate corridors of power.

                No other publication is so highly focussed and, indeed, biased towards the owners and operators of commercial fishing vessels.

                With regular editorial contributions from some of the industry's highest profile commercial fishing personalities, FISHING BOAT WORLD is always challenging in regard to the issues that affect the livelihoods and welfare of the world's commercial fishermen.

                Whether the subject is politics, pound boards, purse seiners or pumps, each issue of FISHING BOAT WORLD offers its readers information and ideas as to how to improve the efficiency and profitability of their busines operations through the adoption of new vessels, technology and equipment, improved operational techniques and systems, and by simply providing them with the information required to make the right business decisions.

                Most commercial fishermen maintain their vessels at the highest levels possible and regularly update their equipment. They have little hesitation in spending money to do this and will purchase the best products regardless of price, for not only does their livelihood depend on it but, in an extremely hazardous industry, their lives may as well.

                FISHING BOAT WORLD'S regular and numerous boat reviews are always a highlight and a critical talking point among readers. In every issue newly built vessels are reviewed by the magazine's technical journalists providing insight and analysis on their performance and equipment. Supported by glossy photos of the vessel's more important features, these reviews provide fishermen with an excellent guide to what's on offer when it comes to the purchase of their next vessel. Over the years, these reviews provide an excellent cross section of the international fishing fleet.

                The combination of these editorial sections together with the popular section on Gear, which highlights the latest international equipment releases, underline the fact that FISHING BOAT WORLD continues to be informative, accurate and effective for its readers and advertisers alike.

                The magazine reports and comments on decisions made by governments and by industry leaders and importantly, on the effects of these decisions. By receiving and reading a copy of FISHING BOAT WORLD each month, subscribers ensure they have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the issues and technical developments that are vital to their industry.
