ALEXANDRIA, Va, December 2, 2008 – When it comes to a holiday gift, boaters and sailors are a hard bunch to please. That’s because not everyone in the family knows or understands what makes boaters tick.

There is one gift, however, that any boater will appreciate and enjoy throughout the year: a subscription to BoatU.S. Magazine.  It’s the most widely read boating magazine in the country, chock full of practical, entertaining and instructive information. Published six times a year, it’s the magazine that boaters talk about when they get together.  Boaters say it’s the most credible boating magazine they read, giving them the news and insight into issues that directly impact their boating or sailing lifestyle.

With an annual gift subscription comes membership with the Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nation’s leading advocate for recreational boaters providing its 650,000 members with government representation, programs and money-saving services.

Or, if you have any boat-owning anglers in the family, a gift subscription to BoatU.S. Angler magazine could be the perfect gift.  Published three times a year just for anglers who fish with boats, it too will be the one gift that continues to give throughout the year.  Annual BoatUS Angler membership is also included.

Both subscriptions are affordably priced at just $19 a year, and can be purchased online at http://www.BoatUS.com/holidaygift or by calling 1-800-395-2628.
