Celebrating 12 years of the World Superyacht Awards

What would a starry event like the World Superyacht Awards be without a little entertainment? Whether it's a dance show from the Fires of Anatolia, a traditional British marching band or Bond, the original electric string quartet, these unusual acts are always a highlight of the evening.

There are 21 World Superyacht Awards handed out each year across six categories, plus special judge's commendations where they feel it is necessary. Competition is fierce, with up to six yachts shortlisted for each award, so to win - as _Arkley, Blind Date _and Hanuman did in 2010 - is a huge achievement.
