Each year Europe’s best in the boating industry are rewarded with the "Oscars of watersports“: The international “European Powerboat of the Year” Awards. The expert panel consists of editors-in-chief of Europe’s top eight motorboat magazines - Bådnyt (Norway), BoatMag (Italy), Boote (Germany), Marina.ch (Switzerland), Motorboot (The Netherlands), Nautica y Yates (Spain), Neptune (France) and Yacht Revue (Austria). The jury nominated 24 new boats in five classes: up to 25 feet, up to 35 feet, up to 45 feet, over 45 feet and the Displacement class, where length is of no importance.
