Finalists of 2022 Motor Boat Awards revealed
Judges at the 2022 Motor Boat Awards have revealed the shortlist of 34 finalists, spread across ten categories.
Winners of the 2022 Motor Boat Awards will be announced in a virtual online ceremony held in January. Further details, including how to join, will be announced early in the new year.
According to MBY.com, the relaxation of travel restrictions over the summer has meant judges were able to test a much wider selection of craft than last year, with the scope of categories increased as a result, to accommodate this influx of new models.
For the first time, the sportsboat category has been split into craft up to 30ft and craft over 30ft, to reflect the growing popularity of this market segment.
A new category of SUVs (sports utility vessels) has also been introduced, to encompass the crossover appeal of a new generation of sporty and rugged wheelhouse cruisers.
