Top Social Media Influencers in the Yachting Industry

Where to Find the Best Boating Content Online.

Don’t you love when you’re scrolling through your Instagram feed and stop to gape at a sharp 102’ Alpha Custom Yacht cutting through the ocean? Us too. Other than providing a distraction that you didn’t ask for, social media is an excellent tool to market businesses and individual services. It’s easy to get caught in a dark hole of scrolling through your feed, but that can also lead to finding gems you never knew existed or inspiration for your next big purchase or holiday destination.

Whether you’re watching a walkthrough of a 185′ Oceanfast or searching for your next charter destination, here are our picks for the top social media influencers in the yachting industry for 2022. Procrastination? Welcome.
