A remarkable list of finalists for the prestigious ShowBoats Design Awards 2016 has been proudly unveiled by Boat International Media. Now in its seventh edition, the Awards honour the innovators and creative minds behind the finest superyacht designs of 2015. Concentrating entirely on the design aspects of superyacht production, the Awards will recognize creative excellence across a range of categories, including Interior Design, Exterior Design & Styling, Naval Architecture, Holistic Design and Tender Design. Moreover, the Young Designer of the Year Award, sponsored by Oceanco, will also be presented at the exclusive prize giving.
Finalists include the 55m motor yacht Atlante. Handed over to her owner in January 2015, this beautiful vessel was built by CRN with exterior styling by Nuvolari Lenard.
The imposing 101,5m mega yacht Symphony has been announced as finalist in both interior and exterior design categories. She was built by Feadship, and boasts exterior design by Tim Heywood and interior design by François Zuretti and Peter Marino.
Sailing yacht finalists include the 38,8m Claasen sailing yacht Atalante – one of twenty two yachts shortlisted in the holistic design class – as well as the 35m Baltic superyacht Doryan, a finalist in both the interior and exterior categories.
This year’s prize giving ceremony will take place on the first day of the Superyacht Design Symposium, after which all guests of the event will gather for the ShowBoats Design Awards celebration party at a mountain lodge in Kitzbühel, Austria.
