WORLD SUPERYACHT AWARDS 2015

The Awards

Now into its tenth year, the World Superyacht Awards honour the finest new superyacht builds delivered to their owners in the past twelve months.

The year’s special tenth anniversary edition opened with spectacular, award-winning musical and theatrical entertainment – incorporating some incredible acrobatic acts fresh from a sell-out world tour.

The image of the coveted Neptune trophy has become synonymous with excellence in superyacht build and design. The concept was simple; the god of the sea in Roman mythology should be centre stage in an event that reflected the beauty and power of the sea. These prestigious awards are now displayed on magnificent vessels all over the globe, a badge of distinction proudly worn by their owners.

YACHT AWARDS

In consultation with yacht builders and naval architects, we have established a number of yacht award categories so that yachts can be judged against other vessels of a similar size and type.

There are five awards for displacement motor yachts (those vessels that always displace their own weight of water), and four awards for semi-displacement motor yachts that at higher speeds displace less than their weight of water, operating in ‘planing’ mode. This distinction is made because these two types of yachts call for very different construction philosophies, the latter type being much more lightly-built. Two further awards are reserved for sailing yachts, and one award for yachts that have been given major refits that finished in the qualifying year. Finally, there are two awards for the motor yacht and sailing yacht that are considered by the judges to be the most notable in the qualifying year.

VOYAGER’S AWARD

The Voyager’s Award recognises an owner that has made extensive use of his yacht in long distance voyaging and exploration over the past few years.

LEGACY AWARD

The Legacy Award honours an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the superyacht industry over many years.
