Finals of the National Award Boat of the Year will be held at the Moscow Boat Show

The Management Office of the Moscow Boat Show is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with the People&Boats project. This year, the main stage of Crocus Expo will host the finals of the first independent industry award - Boat of the Year 2025.

About the event:

Boat of the Year is a large-scale project designed to identify the leaders of Russian small shipbuilding. For the first time in history, more than 60 leading shipyards of the country will participate in the project: from the largest factories to exclusive boutique industries.

The winners are determined by a unique hybrid system: the short list is formed by a large-scale popular vote, and the final decision is made by a professional Expert Council.

What awaits visitors:

The Award Ceremony will be the culmination of the business program of the exhibition. We will learn the names of the best in 13 nominations, divided by lifestyle and purpose of the vessel:

• Fishing (Sport and Mass Market)

• Grand Tourismo (Travel)

• Rest and Drive

• Housebots and Displacement Yachts

For the guests of the exhibition, this is a unique opportunity to see the entire elite of the Russian yacht industry on one stage, learn about the main trends of the season and personally congratulate the winners.
