The 21st edition of BOAT International's World Superyacht Awards, held in association with The Italian Sea Group, will return to Venice, Italy, on 1-2 May 2026.
The annual World Superyacht Awards recognise the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the most remarkable luxury yachts in the world. The globally acclaimed event, known for its credibility and prestige, is distinguished from all other yacht awards thanks to a judging panel comprising current and former superyacht owners.
When and where are the World Superyacht Awards?
A number of cities have played host to the event in its impressive history, including Amsterdam, Monaco, Florence, London and Istanbul. The 21st edition will return to the beautiful city of Venice, Italy, for the third consecutive year, where the inaugural World Superyacht Awards were hosted in 2006.
What is the event programme?
The festivities will begin with welcome drinks and canapés, followed by the black-tie awards ceremony and gala dinner the following evening. The award-winning superyachts will be announced during the prize-giving ceremony, where the winning owners, designers and builders will be presented with their Neptune trophies. Celebrations will continue at the World Superyacht Awards after-party.
