Having received more than 200 nominations for the fourth edition of the ShowBoats Design Awards, Boat International Media’s team of senior editors were once again invited to refine this amazing list to a smaller number of exceptional finalists.
ShowBoats Design Awards 2012
The shortlisted designs will now be put forward for a second round of judging by a wholly independent judging panel of yacht owners, senior yacht crew and acclaimed naval architects, designers and stylists from within as well as outside the marine industry, who will decide the winners of the coveted golden Neptune trophies.

Many congratulations to all of the owners and designers responsible for these exceptional yachts. To be shortlisted for these prestigious awards is a notable achievement in itself and Boat International Media’s team wish all finalists the very best of luck!
The winners will be announced during a glittering gala evening at the Monaco Opera House on June 21, in front of a VIP audience of yacht owners and industry professionals from around the globe.
The prize giving ceremony once again coincides with the 23rd edition of The Rendezvous in Monaco, a unique four-day event for superyacht owners on the Côte d’Azur, with many of the newly-delivered finalist yachts to be berthed in Port Hercule to join in the yachting festivities.
