Single issues
If it’s the current issue, you’re after take a look at Yachting Monthly app, Zinio, Amazon Kindle or Cafeyn (formerly LeKiosk), which charge the same as the print edition of the magazine (slightly less for Cafeyn).
Cafeyn and the Yachting Monthly app offer ‘one-month’ subscriptions.
At £3.99, this is cheaper than buying a single issue, but renewal is automatic, so if you just want the one issue you’ll have to remember to cancel before the month is up.
Zinio Mac App

For single back-issues, you’re limited to Yachting Monthly app, Zinio or Cafeyn, though note that certain titles may still not have been converted for these platforms.
Where they are, they appear automatically on your device.
Subscriptions
Digital magazine platforms typically give you two options – subscribe to just one brand (eg. Yachting Monthly on Zinio at £40 per year) OR subscribe to everything (5,000+ titles) for an annual fee.
Other platforms offer monthly, rather than annual subscriptions, such as Amazon Kindle and Pocketmags.
