The radical transformation the nautical industry has undergone over the last decade has resulted in the need to consistently improve and underscore the quality not merely of content but also of the channels used to promote it.

This is the thinking behind Top Yacht Design which is not merely a stand-alone magazine but a complete print and digital publishing system that tackles the subject of design in all its forms, starting, of course, with yachts.

It takes a magnifying glass to the many meanings of the term ‘design’ and explores the virtually endless contexts to which it can be applied and ways it can interact with other sectors.

The authoritative heft of this new publishing system comes from editor-in-chief Matteo Zaccagnino’s 25 years- plus in the sector. He will be flanked by leading nautical writers, the aim being to meet the needs of an increasingly broad audience hungry for new ideas and perspectives.
