Parkway England will return as the official sponsor of the BOAT Artistry & Craft Awards 2027, the annual celebration of craftspeople and artisans creating beautiful objects on board superyachts.
A leading force in superyacht interior and exterior furniture manufacturing, Parkway England has collaborated with some of the industry's most prestigious design studios and shipyards, including Lürssen, Feadship and Amels. For over 30 years, Parkway has built a strong reputation, consistently delivering unique custom furniture that meets the high standards of an elite clientele.
At the core of Parkway’s success is its team of over 40 in-house, highly skilled artisans whose heritage and craft lie in bespoke furniture manufacturing using age-old techniques in marquetry, cabinetry, upholstery and luxury furniture, along with technical designers and specialist finish experts. Parkway's skilled professionals are unique in that they merge traditional British craftsmanship with modern production techniques, creating pieces that are not only aesthetically unique but also built for the demands of the marine environments.
As a white-label brand, Parkway operates with a level of discretion that has earned it a loyal following among the industry’s top designers. Clients enjoy the privacy that comes with this approach, allowing designers and their clients to attend workshop meetings and inspection tours as needed throughout the process.
Parkway England’s CEO, Jay Rushton, said: "We’re thrilled to be in our third year as the official partner of the BOAT Artistry & Craft Awards. Now in our 20th year and with over 70 artisans and makers, exceptional craftsmanship is the core of our business. Whilst gaining this small insight into fellow artisans around the world, it’s clear that this talent becomes increasingly rare; as such, we feel it’s vital to support these awards and help promote remarkable talent and creativity, and strengthen the future of our craft."
Rushton joins the awards' esteemed panel of judges, including CEO of QEST Deborah Pocock; UK contemporary art dealer Adrian Sassoon; and BOAT International's group creative director and awards chair Christopher Whale.
Whale concluded: "Exceptional craftsmanship transforms superyacht interiors into something truly extraordinary, yet the artisans behind these remarkable pieces rarely receive the recognition they deserve. The BOAT Artistry & Craft Awards celebrate these unsung heroes of superyacht design. We're delighted to welcome back Parkway England as our official sponsor for 2027 - a brand whose team of skilled artisans perfectly embodies what these awards stand for."
The BOAT Artistry & Craft Awards will return to the Superyacht Design Festival in 2027, with nominations now open until 21 October 2026. If you have any questions about the awards, please contact the events team.
