A Recognition of Innovation and Design
Each year, the European Powerboat of the Year Award honours the most outstanding motor yachts on the market, recognising excellence in design, performance, craftsmanship and innovation. It is regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in the international yachting industry.
The jury consists of editors-in-chief and test riders from Europe’s leading boating magazines, including BOOTE (Germany), Boatmag.it (Italy), Båtmagasinet (Norway), Marina.ch (Switzerland), Náutica y Yates (Spain), Neptune (France) and Yachtrevue (Austria). Together, these publications reach more than one million monthly readers across Europe and beyond, representing a significant voice in the global boating community.
Since its inception in 2005, the European Powerboat of the Year Award has set the benchmark for innovation and excellence in yacht building. Each year, nominated yachts are evaluated based on key criteria such as workmanship, design, safety, driving behaviour, use of space and price performance ratio.
The SAY 52 – Progressive Yacht Building Redefined
With its ultra-light carbon construction, efficiency-focused engineering and distinctive design language, the SAY 52 embodies the philosophy of progressive yacht building and reflects SAY’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Winners are announced during the Flagship Night on 17 January 2026 at boot Düsseldorf, one of the most significant events on the international yachting calendar.
