WINTER PARK, FL - February 18, 2009 -- The Bonnier Marine Group (BMG) - the world's largest publisher of boating and fishing
magazines - announced today it has formed a strategic alliance with Marinalife.com of Baltimore, MD. Under the terms of the agreement, BMG will
begin producing a brand-new video series covering destination resorts and marinas for the benefit of its online audiences across its 14 websites.
These videos are designed to show cruising yachtsmen all the amenities of each marina and resort before they book their reservations, making
cruising to unfamiliar ports that much easier. These videos will be available on Marinalife.com through existing listings on their site. The
Marinalife web site includes an online marina reservation service and comprehensive listing of marinas throughout the U.S., Canada, Bahamas,
Caribbean, and Central America.
"When we looked at this market we were surprised to find that no one is producing high-quality videos covering marinas and resorts for cruising yachtsmen and
blue-water fishermen," said BMG's group publisher Glenn Hughes. "Because of our experience in producing high-quality television shows and web-based
videos, we are uniquely qualified to provide this service to our engaged boating audience. We will distribute the videos through our appropriate
magazine sites that appeal to each marina's primary clientele and through the Marinalife network."
For example, a video on a marina that primarily caters to offshore fishermen can go on Marlinmag.com, Sportfishingmag.com, and Saltwatersportsman.com,
while marinas and resorts that cater primarily to transient cruisers can have their videos on
Yachtingmag.com, Motorboating.com,
Cruisingworld.com, and
Powercruising.com. The videos will also complement the travel tools that are available on
Marinalife.com to help make it even easier for boaters to find the right marina. All videos will allow the
viewer to click through directly to the marina's or resort's site for more information and to book reservations.
"We're very excited to be working with the Bonnier Marine Group on this exciting new venture, and the videos will be an excellent addition to the
marina information and reservation services we already have on Marinalife.com," says Joy Koch McPeters, President/CEO, Marinalife, LLC.
The new alliance is effective immediately, and BMG has already begun production on several new videos covering marinas and resorts in Florida.
