About Us

The Coastal Mariner magazine and www.coastalmariner.com are a southeastern United States sales publication and website owned by TCM of Eastern North Carolina, Inc. The Coastal Mariner magazine is printed and distributed in coastal and inland North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and the Keys.

Our new state-of-the-art web site went on-line in the summer of 2005. Coastalmariner.com enables boat users, manufacturers and resellers - including yacht brokers, boat dealers, marinas, boatyards, and other marine service businesses - to participate in a thriving online community and state-of-the-art e-commerce channel. We are heavily promoting the web site through The Coastal Mariner magazine, Recreational Fishing Alliance magazine and other popular web sites through banner ads. By enhancing the consumer's boating experience and helping to increase the industry's effectiveness, Coastalmariner.com has opened up new commercial opportunities for the industry and is helping to grow the sport of boating. We have hired a firm to promote the web site with all the major search engines. Banner ads from skyscraper to button sizes are available for your company to promote your products or web site.

Our mission here at The Coastal Mariner is to provide you with excellent customer service, provide interesting articles about fishing, the latest marine gadgets, maintenance tips, and to promote sales. We are a family owned business and still like to do business the old fashioned way where our number one goal is making sure our customers are our number one priority. We believe that if you are successful, The Coastal Mariner will be successful also.

The Coastal Mariner magazine has grown in circulation to 40,000 copies monthly and is in its sixth year of printing. We have over 1000 distribution locations along the coastal and inland areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and the Keys. Our distribution locations have been handpicked to put The Coastal Mariner in areas that the boating public frequents. We do not place magazines in locations that we feel will not be frequented by the boating community. We can proudly state that we have a less than 2% pick-up rate by our distributor on a monthly basis.

The Coastal Mariner is printed monthly which guarantees your listings or products are always current. Most publications require your ad copy two months in advance which means some of your boat listings may have sold by the time they print that issue. We allow our ad copy to be submitted no later than eight days prior to printing, meaning your ad contains a more current inventory. This assures you get more bang for your advertising dollars!! We hope you enjoy The Coastal Mariner and agree that it will help make this a better, more informed boating community. Thank you for your patronage.
