Marinas.com, a site that provides marina owners and operators with slip reservations and services, said it had more than 3.6 million visits from active boaters during the first eight months of this year.

Marinas.com has increased its unique visitors by 45 percent through Aug. 31 from the same period in 2011, the company said. On this track, Marinas.com would end the year with more than 5 million visits from more than 3.8 million unique visitors.

Last month, Marinas.com relaunched its website with a complete makeover — new home page, new features for marinas and users, and new tools and benefits.

Also new is a boater’s forum, BoatBuzz.com, that creates a new way for boaters to get and share information. Marinas can post information about such things as specials, fishing tournaments and job postings.

This press release is so full of whoppers, I am not sure why Trade Only decided to print it... aside from it perhaps being a slow news day.

From the release:

"On this track, Marinas.com will end the year with more than 5,000,000 visits from over 3,800,000 unique visitors, many times greater than all other media, print or internet further securing our place as the world’s #1 Marine Resource."

Many times greater than ALL other media, print or Internet?

According to compete.com, Marinas.com's closest "competitor" is BoatU.S., with 139.12 thousand unique visitors per month to Marinas.com's 41.61K visitors.

That's a big whopper.
