The Honours has set its sights on Palm Beach for the 2027 edition of the show. Taking place during the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) next March, the destination will mark a new chapter for the event, which celebrates the people making a difference through yachting.
Presented by The Superyacht Life Foundation in partnership with PBIBS, The Honours 2027 will bring together some of the most inspiring figures connected to yachting in one of the world’s leading superyacht destinations. This year’s show will take place from 17-21 March along Flagler Drive in Downtown West Palm Beach.
The Honours look beyond the vessels, focusing on celebrating the individuals who have used their skills, influence, resources or connections in yachting to make a meaningful difference beyond the industry.
Rather than recognising commercial or professional success alone, The Honours focuses on the character, purpose and impact of each honouree’s work. Three individuals are selected to receive the Bowsprit award following an independent judging process.
Dilan Sarac, executive director of The Superyacht Life Foundation, shared: "Palm Beach International Boat Show feels like the perfect place for the next chapter of The Honours. It has an incredible energy and brings together people from across the international yachting community."
According to the organisers, since 1982, the show has grown to occupy a dominant position in South Florida as both a leader in the boating and marine industry and as an economic engine for the Palm Beach community and the tri-county area.
Andrew Doole, President of Informa, U.S. Boat Shows, added: “We’re proud to support an initiative that brings these stories to a wider audience, and we’re delighted to see The Honours come to Palm Beach in 2027. It promises to be a very special next chapter.”
Since its launch in 2023, The Honours has travelled between Monaco and the United States, uncovering stories of ocean conservation, humanitarian action, philanthropy, scientific discovery, sustainability, diversity and leadership along the way. Palm Beach will provide the backdrop for the next three awards.
Nominations for The Honours 2027 remain open until Friday 9 October, with the selected honourees to receive The Honours’ distinctive Bowsprit award in Palm Beach in March 2027.
