Partner with Aquator to bring structured, expert-backed boat ownership education to your readers, viewers, and listeners — turning your content into a practical resource that genuinely improves what happens on the water.
Aquator's platform is used by hundreds of vessels across 30+ countries and certified by Lloyd's Register and DNV. The safety and maintenance knowledge behind the platform — turned into editorial content — is credible, specific, and genuinely useful to boat owners reading your publication.
Every piece of content you publish with Aquator points your audience toward a free tool they can use the same day. A safety checklist article becomes a trackable safety checklist in their pocket. That's the difference between content people read and content people use.
As a Media Partner, you earn recurring commission for every reader or viewer who signs up and upgrades to a paid Aquator plan. The stronger your content performs, the more it earns — without advertising in the traditional sense, and without compromising editorial integrity.
Editorial Content Pillars
Each pillar is a sustained editorial territory — not a one-off sponsored article. Content in each area can be adapted to any format, any tone, and any audience from first-time boat owners to experienced offshore sailors.
The honest guide to life rafts, EPIRBs, flares, and lifejackets — what's required, what actually works, and what gets ignored until it's too late.
Why calendar-based maintenance is less accurate than engine-hours tracking, what the most commonly skipped service items are, and what they cost to ignore.
MOB, fire, flooding, and MAYDAY — not as abstract procedures but as muscle memory. Why recreational sailors need to practise these and exactly how to do it.
What your flag state requires, what your insurance demands, and what a harbour master or port authority will ask for — and where most boat owners fall short.
Antifoul chemistry, bilge discharge, anchoring in seagrass, and fuel consumption — the environmental impact of common boating practices and how to reduce it without reducing enjoyment.
How to maintain a vessel that surveys well, why records are worth money at resale, and what the ten most commonly found deficiencies reveal about typical boat ownership habits.
The standards commercial vessels are legally required to meet — and why applying them at recreational scale makes you a safer, more capable, and more confident sailor.
Maintenance budgets, unexpected failures, insurance implications, and the cost-benefit case for planned versus reactive boat care. Real data from real vessels on the Aquator platform.
YouTube sailing channels and boat how-to creators have audiences who are actively trying to improve their ownership. Aquator provides the platform data, expert frameworks, and downloadable tools that turn a good video into something viewers act on immediately — and come back for because it worked.
Yachting publications have covered boat maintenance and safety for decades. What's changed is the availability of real fleet data — not survey findings, but live operational data from hundreds of managed vessels showing what actually fails, what gets ignored, and what owners consistently get wrong. Aquator makes that data available to media partners as exclusive editorial material.
Sailing podcasts and online editorial platforms build their audiences on trust and depth. Aquator's team is available for podcast appearances, expert interviews, and editorial contributions — bringing specific, data-backed answers to the questions boat owners genuinely wrestle with, rather than the general advice found everywhere else.
Social media and email newsletters work through immediacy — a fact that reframes how someone thinks about their boat, a checklist they didn't know they needed, a question their followers answer in the comments. Aquator provides the data points, tools, and call-to-action hooks that make responsible ownership content shareable and actionable at scale.
Every media partnership includes a library of co-brandable content assets that your team can publish, adapt, or build upon immediately — no briefing lag, no build time.
A printable and digital checklist covering all safety equipment, documentation, and pre-departure checks — adaptable for any vessel type from 6m to 20m.
Anonymised, aggregated data from 500+ vessels on safety equipment compliance rates, most common maintenance failures, and drill completion rates — exclusive to media partners.
A complete illustrated walkthrough of how to run an effective MOB and fire drill on a recreational vessel — suitable as a magazine pull-out, video script, or downloadable PDF.
A visual maintenance timeline showing service intervals for the most common boat engine types — hours-based, not just calendar. Designed for print spread or digital social asset.
A complete editorial arc covering all eight pillars of responsible ownership — with suggested headlines, expert data hooks, and article structure for each instalment.
Twelve monthly social stat cards using real Aquator fleet data — formatted for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, with caption frameworks and hashtag sets included.
We ran a single feature using Aquator's fleet data in our April issue. The QR code in the article generated more reader interactions than any single piece we'd published in the previous year. It turns out readers don't just want to be told what to do — they want a tool that does it with them.
Marinas partnering with Aquator offer responsible ownership tools to every berth holder — the same safety, maintenance, and environmental framework your content covers, embedded in the vessels your readers sail from.
Yacht clubs using Aquator give their members a vessel health leaderboard and best practice badges. The culture of responsible ownership your content promotes is something clubs can actively build and measure.
