Boating Atlantic 2018: a guide to boating in Atlantic Canada

Boating Atlantic

 

Feb 8, 2018

Published annually since 2006, Boating Atlantic is a guide to marinas, yacht clubs, and destinations for boaters cruising and visiting Canada’s Atlantic Provinces. With current event and attraction listings, the guide is a handy publication for all boaters to have aboard. Ten thousand copies are printed each year then distributed at the Halifax International Boat Show, the Moncton Boat Show, and at marinas and yachts clubs around Atlantic Canada.

The 2018 guide is published by Lily Media in partnership with the Atlantic Marine Trades Association (AMTA), which is the official voice of the recreational boating industry in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. AMTA is a not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors working with its stakeholders to grow and enhance boating in the Atlantic Region of Canada and support its members in their endeavours.

AMTA is the owner of the Halifax International Boat Show and a partner in Discover Boating, a national initiative to attract more people to the recreational boating lifestyle.

Swiftsure Marks 70

With its 70th edition this May, the Swiftsure International Yacht Regatta is the longest running cross-border race on the West Coast, and the Pacific Northwest’s premiere challenge of sailing skill, endurance, strategy…and luck.

The race began in 1930 as a weekend challenge among three Northwest yacht clubs – Seattle, Royal Vancouver and Royal Victoria – and is now a week-long sailing celebration in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, hosted by Royal Vic. Organizers hope for a record turnout of competitors on three major courses – Swiftsure Lightship, Cape Flattery and Juan de Fuca – and are staging a variety of public events in the Inner Harbour.

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
