Latitude 38

Since we released our inaugural issue in 1977, Latitude 38 has embraced a distinctive lifestyle that sets it apart from other sailing magazines. While many have tried to replicate our success, none have succeeded. We’ve evolved from a quirky regional publication to a relaxed California staple and now serve as an “alternative” voice for sailors both in the U.S. and worldwide. The team at Latitude is committed to providing you with the most engaging content in the sailing community. People take to the water for various reasons—be it for adventure, relaxation, or simply to escape the daily grind. Those same motivations drive our readers to enjoy our magazine each month. If you're not out on the water, dive into our latest issue, crafted by our dedicated team and the many sailors and contributors who make sailing and reading Latitude an enjoyable experience.
