The international Best of Boat Awards started in 2014 by European accredited boat journalists. There are 17 journalists on the jury, stretching across Europe including the United Kingdom, Russia and Austria, just to name a few. In total this year, 527 tests took place on 171 of the latest motorboats, in a staggering 19 countries.
The Best of Boats Awards work within six main categories presenting one final winner for each. The finalists have been announced, with a few late entries. The overall winners will be awarded at the Boat and Fun Berlin Show on 23rd November 2016.
