About Wild Coast Publishing

Coast&Kayak Magazine is published by Wild Coast Publishing, a small family-operated company based in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, strategically located near some of the best kayaking locations on the planet. Wild Coast Publishing sells books, produces magazines including Coast&Kayak Magazine and a variety of tourism publications and promotional materials from brochures to maps, including the BC Coast Recreation Map and Trip Planner series. The company was founded by author John Kimantas. Coast&Kayak Magazine's origins go back a bit farther to Gabriola Island and Alan Wilson and Peter Marcus about 20 years ago. In fact, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2011.
