The magazine was founded by William Waterway Marks in 1985, who sold it to Vineyard Gazette, Inc. in 1990.
Published in eight editions per year, Martha's Vineyard Magazine features in-depth articles on a range of island-related topics including local events, cuisine, music and the arts, gardening, interiors, personalities and traditions.
It is a member of the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA).

Past categories include best summer event, chowder, caterer, place to get a vegetarian meal, bar/pub, yoga class, landscape company, person you'd most like to have lunch with and many more.
