The 2026 Motor Boat Awards<\/a> winners represents the absolute pinnacle of marine engineering and design, proving that the industry is pushing boundaries faster than ever.\r\n\r\nFrom agile weekenders that maximise every inch of deck space to sprawling custom yachts that redefine luxury on the water, our winners have been rigorously tested to ensure they deliver more than just aesthetic appeal\u2014they offer world-class performance and innovation.\r\n\r\nIn the videos below, we take you onboard these award-winning vessels for an exclusive look at exactly what sets them apart from the competition.\r\n\r\nWhether it\u2019s the rugged, sea-ready builds coming out of Norway or the sleek, sun-drenched silhouettes of the Mediterranean\u2019s finest, these tours provide a front-row seat to the best boating has to offer.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"fdZnVVVX\"]\r\n

Navan S30 \u2013 Best Weekender up to 40ft<\/h2>\r\nBuild quality is strong, with clean, thick mouldings, heavy-duty steel work and a very high calibre of fit-out and the layout is also very pleasing, not least in the form of an innovative three-bench cockpit arrangement and a bow cabin that feels a cut above in terms of space, light and finish.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"vcvMHbzC\"]\r\n

Viknes 10 \u2013 Best Family Cruiser up to 45ft<\/h2>\r\nDesigned and built in its native Norway, the Viknes 10 is a supremely clever and (even in standard format) very well-specced platform.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"NZ6BKFdp\"]\r\n

Pardo GT75 \u2013 Best Sportscruiser over 45ft<\/h2>\r\nThis largest Pardo ever is designed to combine the style and openness of a classical P-series walkaround boat with the extra shelter, four-season ability and cruising credentials of Pardo\u2019s pilothouse-equipped Endurance line.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"MYZZhIdl\"]\r\n

Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 \u2013 Best Flybridge up to 55ft<\/h2>\r\nYou don\u2019t expect a trawler-style boat to look especially pretty but this one really is. As the replacement for the Swift Trawler 35, it combines its extra couple of feet with a lowered superstructure, a raised foredeck and a one-piece reverse screen.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"pPe9W0V8\"]\r\n

Princess F58 \u2013 Best Flybridge Over 55ft<\/h2>\r\nPrincess has a knack for building exceptionally good flybridge boats and the F58 puts all that knowledge and experience to good use. She is bigger, better, more luxurious and more refined than those that came before.\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"jg8GMKii\"]\r\n

Azimut Fly 82 \u2013 Best Custom Yacht Over 80ft<\/h2>\r\nAzimut always builds pretty boats but the new Fly 82 offers so much more than that.\r\n\r\nRead about all the winners, nominees and finalists of the Motor Boat Awards 2026.<\/a><\/em>\r\n\r\nWe\u2019d like to thank Sleipner<\/a>\u00a0for once again partnering with us as the headline sponsor of the 2026 Motor Boat Awards and our individual category award sponsors\u00a0Garmin<\/a>,\u00a0Lumishore<\/a>,\u00a0JL Audio<\/a>, and MBY Awards drink sponsor\u00a0Marinedi<\/a>.\r\n\r\n ","excerpt":{"rendered":"
