MIAMI, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boat Trader, America's largest boating marketplace, today announced the debut of its award-winning local boating series, Stomping Grounds, on Waypoint TV.

The series will drop the first three episodes at launch and feature a total of 12 episodes during its first season. To further the expansion of the original content series, Stomping Grounds viewers can also anticipate a podcast later this year.
Stomping Grounds takes viewers on adventures across the country as the host, Ryan McVinney, meets up with local boaters who share tales of cherished traditions and legendary lore. The series embarks on a journey across the region's waterways to capture the essence of America's rivers, lakes, bays and oceans.
"Stomping Grounds is all about exploring the diversity of boating stories and culture across America. These stories are all connected by the love of the great outdoors, nature and being on the water," said McVinney, Director of Content, Boats Group. "We're excited to share the series with a larger audience through our partnership with Waypoint TV and invite viewers to experience a special and truly unique way of life."
The first three episodes travel to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Florida's Panhandle region and Wilmington, North Carolina alongside a host of celebrated boaters, including Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line, Netflix's Outer Banks creator Jonas Pate, legendary champion powerboat racer Reggie Fountain and more. The following nine episodes will dive further into American boating traditions as McVinney drops anchor in towns across the Southwest, Pacific Northwest and up to the great state of Alaska.
"Boat Trader has massive reach and its audience is incredibly passionate about the boating lifestyle, so we wanted to showcase the waterways they spend time on," said Courtney Chalmers, Vice President of Marketing, Boats Group.
