Due to the amazing number of nominations received, Boat International Media’s expert teams of editors have cut down the nominees to an impressive list of World Superyacht Awards finalists who now stand in contention to receive a prestigious Neptune trophy.
2012 World Superyacht Awards held in Istanbul
Over the next two months, the World Superyacht Awards judges will be scheduling personal visits to each of the finalist yachts, ensuring that each boat has been seen by at least one member of the jury before the Judges Meeting on 28 March. In addition to the judges’ testimonies, comprehensive dossiers including photographs and statements from the owners, builders and designers of each of the finalists will assist the jury in the difficult task of selecting the winners, which will remain secret until the gala prize giving in Istanbul on 5 May.
