About Us
Let us share our story, from the origins of New England Offshore Magazine, begun back in 1976 with Founder Herb Gliick taking a one-man-band approach to creating a magazine that drew boaters to the New England waters he loved and set the tone for a business that would thrive and evolve for the next five decades. As the magazine’s following grew over the years, new owners and a dedicated staff shared the stories that enticed cruisers, anglers, and explorers to seek out the special experiences, scenery, and flavors of our beloved New England. The product changed, too, evolving to reach its growing and committed audience, and transitioning from a newsprint tabloid to a glossy magazine, and eventually shifting branding to reach into digital and television, and carrying new names to go along with new stories told on new platforms: BoatingLocal, New England Boating, New England Fishing, Explore New England. Today, Blueview Productions has relaunched New England Boating and Fishing with an exciting new cross-platform brand dedicated to inspiring adventures in New England. Come along and join us as we cruise, fish, and explore the ever-changing coastlines and waterways of New England, and share the stories that inspire our audience to create stories of their own.
