Entries are now open for two of the most prestigious awards in the superyacht calendar. Yacht owners, designers, builders and project teams with a yacht or project deserving recognition are encouraged to enter.
World Superyacht Awards 2027
The World Superyacht Awards celebrate the ingenuity, craftsmanship and innovation behind the world’s finest luxury yachts. Known globally for their credibility and prestige, the awards are distinguished from other yacht awards by a judging panel comprising current and former superyacht owners.
Nomination deadline: 31 December 2026
BOAT Design & Innovation Awards 2027
In contrast to the World Superyacht Awards, the BOAT Design & Innovation Awards focus on the individual disciplines that define exceptional yacht design. Celebrating the teams behind the most impressive yachts launched during the preceding calendar year, the awards recognise excellence across naval architecture, exterior and interior design, deck layout, lifestyle features, tenders and technical innovation.
Nomination deadline: 15 October 2026
Why entrants should nominate now
As part of the judging process, the judging panels seek to visit nominated yachts wherever possible, particularly those being showcased at the autumn boat shows. Prospective entrants are therefore encouraged to submit their nominations early, allowing sufficient time for these visits to be arranged.
Submitting a nomination now gives each yacht or project the opportunity to compete for some of the industry’s most coveted accolades.
