Kicking Off the Boating Season in Southwest Florida

We are pleased to announce that the Scuttlebutt brand is expanding again with Scuttlebutt Gulf Coast! This new magazine will cover the Southwest Florida boating communities from Tampa in the North to Marco Island in the South. The debut for our November/December issue is expected to be released at the end of October, so don't miss out on the opportunity to kick off the start of the Southwest Florida boating season. 

While Great Lakes Scuttlebutt will continue to be owned and operated by Erik Kyle, he is working with Tom Vorel on the Fall launch of Scuttlebutt Gulf Coast. This magazine will follow the same distribution formula that has connected boaters to boating businesses for 30+ years in the Great Lakes - a FREE magazine that will be available in Marinas, Yacht Clubs, Marine Stores, and Marine Businesses from Tampa to Marco... with a heavy focus on coastal communities.

Obviously, this is exciting news for our partners that specifically want to target boaters in this region of Florida. If you're a resident or are just passing through this Gulf Coast region, keep an out for this brand-new variation of the Great Lakes Scuttlebutt magazine you know and love! For more information, visit the Scuttlebutt Gulf Coast website and watch our growth.
