2023 Motor Boat Awards: 37 finalists announced across 8 categories
After an intensive selection process, we can exclusively reveal the finalists for the 2023 Motor Boat of the Year Awards.
Sponsored by Sleipner, world leaders in improving comfort and safety at sea, the Motor Boat Awards are widely considered to be the Oscars of the boating world. That’s because every boat has to go through an exhaustive sea trial process just to be considered.
It is the only way our judges can be certain that our finalists deliver on the water as well as in the showroom. The winners will be announced on 24 January, at a special event to mark the occasion, and online here at mby.com. Click the links below to see our coverage of each of the finalists.
