VIP Publications

The very first edition of Professional Skipper magazine was published in 1996 and was laid up, cut and pasted on Keith and Vivienne Ingram’s dining room table. Since then the readership has grown exponentially to some 94,000 industry related readers. New owner Margaret Wind, aims to continue the growth and enjoyment of the magazine for existing and future readers.

The magazine has an incisive ability to produce comprehensive and entertaining boat reviews and topical articles as well as selecting quality writers, with representation from the charter, aquaculture, fishing and boat building sectors as well as the salty old timers sharing their views – Margaret and her team manage to capture what industry wants to hear.
