AB is a national digital (PDF) magazine nearing its fifth decade of serving Australia’s diverse mix of boating enthusiasts from every walk of life, in every type of craft imaginable, in every corner of the continent. AB has always recognised that Australia is blessed with many of the finest recreational boating waterways on the planet, a stable and predictable summer-style climate – and a million or so boating enthusiasts, be they fishermen or sailors – enjoying Australia’s remarkable 34,000 (+) kilometre coastline and almost endless bays, rivers and waterways and more than 1,000 coastal estuaries.

Australian families love their boating; they love being able to ‘get away’ from the day-to-day hub-bub and issues (never more so than during the recent spate of pandemic lockdowns and border closures) and like nothing more than the simple pleasures of swimming, fishing, sailing, diving, tow sports in all its happy forms – or just feeling the sun on their back and a well earned coldie, as they prepare a beach BBQ with family and friends.

This is Australian Boating.
